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

TEST Subcommand Results

The results of the TEST subcommand show whether read, write, allocate, and execute access to the volume or file is “A” (for ALLOW), “L” (for LOG), or “P” (for prevent). For a SFS rule entry, CA ACF2 for VM only displays the read and write accesses.

A

ALLOW Access is allowed.

L

LOG Access is allowed but logged.

P

PREVENT Access is explicitly prevented.

If no rule entry specifically applies to the test access environment,
CA ACF2 for VM displays the following message:

ACFpgm74CI No rule applies, access would be denied
