Implement User-Defined Fields

If your site has defined its own user fields on the logonid record for CA ACF2 or ACID for CA Top Secret, you can include this information in the CIA repository.

The CIAUNLD job executes the unload utility, which reads information from the security database and creates an unload data set. The unload data set contains load data (in DB2 format) that populates the CIA repository.

To include specific user-defined fields, you can specify USERFIELD input control statements in the SYSIN file of the CIAUNLD job (to generate USER-DEFINED FIELD table records containing the field data). To review the specific user-defind field tables, see the CIA Data Dictionary and Data Model in the CA ACF2 or CA Top Secret Compliance Information Analysis Guide.

Note: By default, the SYSIN file specifies to add all user-defined fields. If you do not want to include user-defined field data in the repository, specify the USERFIELD(*NONE*) input control statement in the CIAUNLD job.

Example: Add User-Defined Fields FIELD1, FIELD2, and FIELD3

The following unload utility SYSIN input control statements specify three user-defined character type fields (FIELD1, FIELD2, and FIELD3):

//SYSIN DD * 
USERFIELD(FIELD1) 
USERFIELD(FIELD2) 
USERFIELD(FIELD3) 
/*

These USERFIELD control statements instruct the CIA unload utility to process FIELD1, FIELD2, and FIELD3 (when found) and generate UDFCHAR records in the UNLOAD data set.

Example: Do Not Implement User-Defined Fields

The following unload utility SYSIN input control statement specifies to omit user-defined fields:

//SYSIN DD * 
USERFIELD(*NONE*) 
/*

Example: Implicitly Add All User-Defined Fields

The following unload utility SYSIN file implicitly specifies to add all user-defined fields (because no USERFIELD input control statements exist). This specification is the default specification.

//SYSIN DD * 
/*

Example: Explicitly Add All User-Defined Fields

The following unload utility SYSIN input control statement explicitly specifies to add all user-defined fields:

//SYSIN DD * 
USERFIELD(*ALL*)
/*
