Maintaining Entry Source and Source Group Records

Maintaining Entry Source and Source Group Records

Source entry records define individual input sources. They are stored on the Infostorage database and have a storage class value of “E.”

You can use entry records to:

• Identify individual input sources (such as terminals or card readers) for CA ACF2 for VM validation. Input source records translate physical input sources to logical input sources. CA ACF2 for VM recognizes both.
• Identify groups of input sources for CA ACF2 for VM validation. These groups can be made up of logical or physical input source names.
