How Does CA ACF2 for z/VM Work? › Issuing the ACF Command

Issuing the ACF Command

When the CMS READY prompt appears, you can issue the ACF command:

READY; T=1.23/2.34 14:36:00

acf

After the system responds with ACF, you can process CA ACF2 for z/VM rule sets and records.

READY;T=1.23/2.34 14:36:27
acf
 ACF

ACF Command Settings

After issuing the ACF command, you must establish the ACF command setting. This setting determines the type of CA ACF2 for z/VM record you can process. The ACF command has the following settings:

When the ACF command is active, you can establish the ACF command setting by entering the SET subcommand. For example, to process logonids enter SET LID.

For some settings, you must be more specific about the type of CA ACF2 for z/VM rule set or record you want to process. With entry records, for example, specify the setting and a three‑character type code:

ACF
set entry(src)

The screen above illustrates that you would be processing source entry records.

ACF Subcommands

After you have entered the ACF command and have established the appropriate ACF command setting, you can issue ACF subcommands. These subcommands do the actual processing of CA ACF2 for z/VM rule sets and records.

The ACF subcommands include the following:

For a given command setting, a subcommand processes a certain type of CA ACF2 for z/VM record or rule set. Not all subcommands are valid in all settings. See the Administrator Guide for more details.
