VMO Resource Translation Records

Each product's CAISSF calls are made against different resources. For example, SUBMIT, CACMD (CA command), and so on. In a CA ACF2 for VM environment, these resources are translated to three character resource types. CA ACF2 for VM has a default VMO record called SSFTYPE that defines what the translation values are.

The SSFTYPE VMO record translates CAISSF resources to CA ACF2 for VM resource types. The CA ACF2 for VM resource type is the value you need to specify in the $TYPE statement in any resource rule for the product. For example, the SUBMIT resource has a default resource type of SUB. (The resources that each product calls is defined in the product's Security Administrator Guide.) With CA ACF2 for VM, you can set a unique resource type for each SYSID. This allows you to have separate resource rules in a multi‑CPU, shared database environment. You can issue the ACF SHOW STATE subcommand and view the RESOURCE CLASS LIST values to determine the active resource translation values.
