Running ACFRECVR

To execute ACFRECVR, follow these steps.

1. Define the filenames for the databases ACFRECVR is to update. You must do this before starting this utility. The FILEDEFs shown below are examples of defining the database files.

   FILEDEF LID DISK fn DATABASE fm
   FILEDEF RULES DISK fn DATABASE fm
   FILEDEF INFO DISK fn DATABASE fm
   

2. Identify the SMF records for input.
3. Enter the ACFRECVR command.
4. Reply to the prompts as appropriate.

One of the prompts you might see while running this utility is the following message:

ENTER ACFRECVR SYSIN PARAMETER OR <ENTER> TO START

This message tells you that you did not define a SYSIN file. If you had defined a SYSIN file before ACFRECVR started, it would have read the parameters in from this file. Because you did not define a SYSIN file, ACFRECVR prompts you (by RCV?) to enter the parameters. If you respond with a null (blank line), ACFRECVR uses the defaults. If you are processing only one database, such as the Logonid database, your response would be LID NORULES NOINFO.

The following message indicates that the ACFRECVR utility is executing:

CA ACF2 for z/VM SECURITY - ACFRECVR - ...

A report showing all records processed appears at the terminal. The next section contains a sample report and descriptions of its fields.
