Step 1: AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG Command Limiting Validation

Whenever you issue the AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG command, CA ACF2 for VM validates the command limiting rules. This is optional for AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG, just as it is for any other CP command. Limiting the AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG commands lets you:

• Prevent specific users from executing the AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG commands up‑front, avoiding the overhead of going through the other validation steps.
• Control the AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG command operands that are allowed, logged, or prevented for individual users.

CA ACF2 for VM records all loggings or invalid accesses from limiting the AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG command in the Command Limiting Journal (ACFRPTCL).
