Resource type

Specifies the three‑character type code that defines the type of resource protected by this rule set.

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.

The displayed information for a list of rule sets is described below:
