CA-REGISTER

CA-REGISTER is a component of CA-CIS that lets an administrator define a new user to all system products at the same time through one set of definition panels. For example, CA-REGISTER lets you start a single transaction that defines a new user to CA ACF2 for z/VM, IBM's Shared File System, and even to user‑defined subsystems through user exits to REGISTER.

Configuring CA-REGISTER

To configure CA-REGISTER, follow these steps:

Make the ACF2EXIT EXEC file available to the REGISTER service machine. Typically, this is the CAIMAINT 291 disk that is linked to the REGISTER service machine as the 192 disk.
Modify the REGISTER APPLS for CA ACF2 for z/VM.
To change the REGISTER APPLS file, invoke the CA‑ACTIVATOR task S510I002 or modify this file manually through XEDIT and add the following line:
```
Col. 1        Col. 20       Col. 30      Col. 40
CA ACF2 for z/VM       prototype     ACF2EXIT     ACF2ZOOM
```
The format of the REGISTER APPLS file is:

Columns	Description
01‑18	Application name, such as CA ACF2 for z/VM
20‑27	Prototype name. This is the model that an ACF INSERT USING(prototype) command would use. Your users can override the default that you initially choose or you can give each user his own REGISTER APPLS file.
30‑37	Filename of the EXIT to be invoked in the REGISTER service machine. For CA ACF2 for z/VM, this is ACF2EXIT EXEC.
40‑47	Filename of the ZOOM program to be invoked in the user's virtual machine. For CA ACF2 for z/VM, this is ACF2ZOOM CAIPANEL.

Copy the ACF2ZOOM CAIPANEL and M9PFZOOM PFKEYS file to the same disk you created to hold the CA ACF2 for z/VM full‑screen panels. If the REGISTER panel files are not on the same disk as the CA ACF2 for z/VM full‑screen panels, you must access both disks to use the REGISTER ZOOM function with the CA ACF2 for z/VM application.

The REGISTER ZOOM function requires the CA ACF2 for z/VM full‑screen LID maintenance panels to operate. Below is a subset of the CA ACF2 for z/VM full‑screen panel files needed to execute the ZOOM function:

M9PA1110 CAIPANEL
M9PA1120 CAIPANEL
M9PA1130 CAIPANEL
M9PA1140 CAIPANEL
M9FU1100 CAIPANEL
M9FU1000 CAIPANEL
M9FU0000 CAIPANEL

The ZOOM program for CA ACF2 for z/VM uses the CA‑supplied full‑screen panels. If you have developed your own panels using the new CA ACF2 for z/VM REXX interface, you must write your own ZOOM program. For information on how to write a REGISTER ZOOM program, see the Administrator Guide.
