Maintaining Access Rules with the ACF Command › Using ACF TEST to Test an Access Rule

Using ACF TEST to Test an Access Rule

Use the TEST subcommand to test access rule sets. This testing tells you whether the rule set validates all attempts to access data. While the TEST subcommand is active, CA ACF2 for VM interprets only access rules. This testing does not take into account any site‑specific system options or attributes of the logonids being tested. The syntax for the TEST subcommand is:

TEST { *      }
     { ruleid }

*

Indicates that you want to test the previously compiled access rule set.

(no parameter)

When you specify TEST without a parameter, the TEST subcommand operates the same as when you specify an asterisk.

ruleid

Identifies the $KEY value of the access rule set.
