Verifying a Resource Rule Set Deletion

This screen lets you delete the resource rule set you selected on the Delete Resource Ruleset(s) screen. It lets you verify that you really want to delete the rule before CA ACF2 for VM actually deletes it from the Infostorage database. If you delete a resource accidentally, you must recreate it.

Resource type: Specifies the three‑character type code that defines the type of resource this rule set protects.
Rulekey: Specifies the $KEY value of the rule set. The $KEY control statement supplies the name of the resource that this rule was written for. A resource rule name can represent many different objects, depending on the resource TYPE.
CA ACF2 for VM‑defined type codes are ACT, ALG, GRP, DIA, IUC, and VMC. For more information on these type codes, see the “About Resource Rules” chapter. For example, for DIA, the $KEY rule ID is the ID of a user in the VM directory that another user wants to dial to. For ACT, the $KEY rule ID is an eight‑character account code that you define. The rule ID can be up to 40 characters long. However, for most CA ACF2 for VM‑defined resource types, only the first eight characters are significant. You can mask this field with standard CA ACF2 for VM masking characters.
Prefix: Specifies a value that overrides the rule set key as a prefix to all resource names in this rule set. You can specify up to 24 characters.
Recname: Used for MVS record‑level protection. CA ACF2 for VM does not use recname. Specifies the name of a RECORD definition record. For more information, see the CA ACF2 for VM for z/OS and OS/390 Administrator Guide.

Note: CA ACF2 for VM cannot maintain RECORD definition records.

Rule length: Specifies the length of the compile rule set. This field contains the number of bytes (from 1‑496) in the rule set.
% Utilization: Specifies the percentage of the database used.
Total rule entries: Specifies the total number of rule entries to be deleted from this rule set.
Userdata: Use this space for any comments you care to enter. Information you enter in this field does not affect the rule entry. This field can contain up to 64 characters. Unlike comment statements that are removed when a rule is compiled, the information you enter in this field is stored with the rule set (optional).
Sort option: Specifies how CA ACF2 for VM sorts this rule set. If you enter Y or 1,
CA ACF2 for VM does not sort the rule set from most specific to most general. If sort option is not active at your site, this field does not appear on your screen.

To delete the resource rule set, press your designated EXECUTE PF key. CA ACF2 for VM deletes the rule set from the Infostorage database.
