Below is a brief explanation of the information on this screen.

Rulekey

Specifies the key value of the rule set. The rulekey you specify can be up to eight characters long. You cannot mask this field.

Rule length

Specifies the length of the compiled rule set.

Prefix

Specifies the ID associated with this user's owned minidisks. The user's access to CMS files on a minidisk whose ID matches the prefix is always granted. The prefix also identifies the access rule sets the user can decompile and store. By default, PREFIX is the same as the user's logonid. You can mask with asterisks (*), but not with dashes (-) This PREFIX can be up to eight characters long.

% Utilization

Specifies the amount of the database used.

Owner

Specifies the ID of the owner of this rule set. This control statement is for informational purposes only. No CA ACF2 for VM logonid processing is based on this parameter. This control statement does not grant the owner any special privileges for the rule set. You can enter the logonid, UID, name of the owner, or other values (up to 24 characters) for local tracking purposes. This information is displayed when the rule set is decompiled (optional).

Resowner

Specifies the resource owner of the data set. CA ACF2 for VM logonid DFSMS support uses this information. CA ACF2 for VM does not use it.

Total rule entries

Specifies the number of rule entries currently in the rule.

Mode

Specifies the value of the mode for the rule set. Valid options are:

QUIET

The access is not checked

LOG

Violations are allowed but logged

WARN

Violators are warned, but the violation access is allowed

ABORT

Violations are not allowed.

Sort Option

Specifies how CA ACF2 for VM logonid sorts this rule set. If you enter 1 or Y in this field, CA ACF2 for VM logonid does not sort the rule set from most specific to most general. This field does not appear if sort option is not active at your site.

Userdata

Use this space for any comments you care to enter. These comments do not affect the rule entry. This field can contain up to 64 characters. Unlike comment cards that are removed when the rule is compiled, information placed in this field is stored with the rule set (optional).
