CA ACF2 for z/VM consists of the following components:
This service machine contains the internal control tables that CA ACF2 for z/VM uses to validate logon requests and requests for access to minidisks, CMS file IDs, MVS data sets, and ATTACH commands. It processes all requests to update the databases and generates logging records.
CA ACF2 for z/VM modules are inserted into CP to control CP‑related functions. These functions include validation calls, system status changes, communication with the service machine, and command limiting rule interpretation and compilation.
CA ACF2 for z/VM intercept code is inserted into CMS and becomes part of the CMS system. These modules provide functions such as communication with the CA ACF2 for z/VM service machine and CMS file‑level security.
