Account Controls

CA ACF2 for VM provides the following controls for account support:

Account resource rules

CA ACF2 for VM definitions that list account numbers and the virtual machines that can use them to charge costs. These rules work with VMACCT logonid values to functionally replace the native VM implementation ACCOUNT directory control statements provide.

ACCTVLD

An operand in the OPTS VMO record that establishes the account mode setting. You can specify one of three modes of operation: NO, FULL, and LID.

ACCOUNT

An operand in the RESCLASS VMO record that defines the three‑character resource type code for account resource rule sets. ACT is the default.

VMACCT

An eight‑byte logonid field that holds the default account number for a virtual machine. The VMACCT values work with account resource rules to functionally replace VM account directory control statements.

VLDVMACT

A logonid bit field you can turn on for selected users so they undergo
CA ACF2 for VM account validation under the LID account mode setting.
