ACFCVALG - Converting AUTOLOG

The ACFCVALG REXX exec creates AUTOLOG resource rules from the CP directory. It translates binary zeros in the UID to asterisks when it generates the rules.

Prerequisites

You must install and IPL CA ACF2 for z/VM before you can execute ACFCVACT. You cannot run the exec during the installation of CA ACF2 for z/VM until you perform an IPL on the system.

Running ACFCVALG

Running this exec creates a file named AUTOLOG RULE. It installs AUTOLOG resource rules in your Infostorage database. To create AUTOLOG resource rules, you must perform two basic steps.

To execute ACFCVALG, enter the following command:
```
ACFCVALG
```
The exec informs you if the AUTOLOG RULE file already exists. If this file does exist, proceed to Step 2.
- CA ACF2 for z/VM prompts you to enter the filename, filetype, and filemode of the CP directory file.
- CA ACF2 for z/VM prompts you to enter the type code for your system's AUTOLOG resource rules, as defined in the AUTOLOG operand of the RESCLASS VMO record. Use the following subcommand of ACF to display the value of AUTOLOG:
```
	SHOW STATE
```
The directory is processed. Messages indicate which users have no LIDs. ACFCVALG does not create AUTOLOG resource rules for these users. ACFCVALG issues the following message when the exec is finished:
```
Processing complete
```
Examine the file AUTOLOG RULE that contains the converted AUTOLOG resource rules. A sample file looks like the one shown below.
```
AUTOLOG RULE
 
$KEY(ACFUSER) TYPE(ALG)
 UID(AUTOLOG1 ) ALLOW
 UID(MAINT ) ALLOW
$KEY(MAINT) TYPE(ALG)
 UID(AUTOLOG1 ) ALLOW
 UID(MAINT ) ALLOW
$KEY(AUTOLOG1) TYPE(ALG)
 UID(MAINT ) ALLOW
```
Verify that these rule sets are set up correctly. If necessary, modify them. Also check to see if you can use masking to combine rule entries.
Enter the following commands to install the AUTOLOG resource rules in your Infostorage database:
```
 acf
 ACF
 set resource(alg)
 RESOURCE
 compile autolog
```
ACFCVALG inserts the rules into the CA ACF2 for z/VM Infostorage database. It issues messages indicating what rule it is inserting.
Enter the following command to activate the new rules:
```
ACFSERVE RELOAD RESOURCE(ALG)
```

The AUTOLOG resource rule conversion is complete.
