How Does CA ACF2 for z/VM Work? › Using the ACFSERVE Command

Using the ACFSERVE Command

With the ACFSERVE commands, authorized users can look at and move files and other data maintained through the ACF2 service machine. Only users who have the proper CA ACF2 for z/VM privileges in their logonid record can use the ACFSERVE commands. These privileges are AUDIT, ACCOUNT, SECURITY, or a combination of the three.

You can use the ACFSERVE commands to:

• Archive, display, and switch SMF files
• Backup the CA ACF2 for z/VM databases
• Force checkpoints
• Remove a resource type
• Update the databases while CA ACF2 for z/VM is not active
• Terminate database updates while CA ACF2 for z/VM is not active
• Display information on batch machines, databases, group user IDs, source, and infostorage records
• Reload tables, command and diagnose limiting rule sets, infostorage records, the ACFFDR, VMO records, ACFSERVE privilege records, resource types, access rule sets, and shift information
• Display CA ACF2 for z/VM release number, level, and operating status
• Lower password violation counts
• Restart the ACF2 service machine
• Set the SYSID.

See the Administrator Guide for complete information on all the ACFSERVE commands, syntax, and return codes.
