Maintaining Persons

The CA Datacom Datadictionary Security Facility allows you to add, update, and delete PERSON entity-occurrences and assign them to a profile. You can either maintain PERSON entity-occurrences in a batch or online environment.

Use the following steps in CA Datacom Datadictionary online:

Step 1

Display the panel to maintain PERSON entity-occurrence attributes either by selecting option 1 on the Datadictionary Security Maintenance Menu, or by typing the MAINTAIN PERSON command in the command area. For more information about issuing the MAINTAIN PERSON command, see Using Command Processing.

CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the following panel:

Step 2

You can add and delete PERSON entity-occurrences using line commands to insert lines or delete lines. For more information about these commands, see Using Line Commands.

Deleting a line indicates that the PERSON entity-occurrence is to be deleted. Only the PROD version is deleted. Inserting a line indicates that the PERSON entity-occurrence is to be added. When a PERSON entity-occurrence is added, it is immediately updated to PROD status.

Move line commands are not allowed on this panel.

You can also update the User-Password or user ID. When the user ID is updated, not only is the attribute updated, but the previous ALIAS is deleted and a new one is added.

Note: The passwords do not display. To view the passwords, run a Detail Report and specify the override code.

The following list describes each field, the valid entries and the default (if one exists). Fields that require an entry are highlighted on your terminal. Fields which are not highlighted indicate that an entry is optional.

Specific Person-

Use this field to locate a previously defined PERSON entity-occurrence. You can enter the exact name or the beginning letters followed by an * (asterisk) or + (plus sign).

Name

The PERSON entity-occurrence name in PROD status is displayed in this field.

Valid Entries:

1- to 32-character name, blanks, or nulls

Default Value:

(No default)

User-Password

(Optional) The PASSWORD attribute of the PERSON entity-occurrence. Use the EOF key to delete the previous password before entering a new password.

Valid Entries:

1 to 12 characters

Default Value:

(No default)

ID

The user-ID attribute of the PERSON entity-occurrence. When the user ID is updated, not only is the attribute updated, but the previous ALIAS is deleted and a new one is added.

Valid Entries:

3 alphanumeric characters

Default Value:

(No default)

Profile

The name of the profile to which this PERSON entity-occurrence is to be assigned. The profile name must begin with $DD-.

If the profile field is altered, the CA Datacom Datadictionary Security Facility attempts the following:

• If the field was not previously filled in, then the PERSON entity-occurrence is related to the AUTHORIZATION entity-occurrence for the profile.
• If the field contained a profile name that was changed, the PERSON entity-occurrence is first related to the AUTHORIZATION entity-occurrence for the new profile. Only if this is successful is the relationship to the previous AUTHORIZATION entity-occurrence deleted.
• If the field contained a name that was overlayed with blanks or nulls, then the relationship to the previous AUTHORIZATION is deleted.
• If the name specified does not exist, an error message is displayed indicating that the profile does not exist.

Valid Entries:

1 to 32 characters

Default Value:

(No default)

Sec. Admin.

Indicates if the PERSON entity-occurrence is assigned CA Datacom Datadictionary Security Administrator authority with Y (yes) or with N (no).

If the Security Administrator field is altered, the Security Maintenance Facility attempts the following:

• If the field is changed to Y, the PERSON entity-occurrence is related to the $DD-SEC-ADM AUTHORIZATION entity-occurrence.
• If the field was initially Y and is changed to N, the relationship to the $DD-SEC-ADM AUTHORIZATION entity-occurrences is deleted.

  Note: All PERSON and AUTHORIZATION entity-occurrences are added and maintained in PROD status.

Valid Entries:

Y or N

Default Value:

N

Step 3

All maintenance to the CA Datacom Datadictionary database is only performed when the APPLY command (PF9) is issued.

When an error is detected, the panel scrolls to the line in error and a message displays. No subsequent lines are processed until the next APPLY command.

Batch Transactions

Maintain PERSON entity-occurrences in a batch environment by submitting the 1010 transaction with the -ADD and -UPD PERSON transaction group to assign a profile to a PERSON.

If you are adding a PERSON entity-occurrence, include an -UPD PERSON transaction to update the person being added to PROD status.

For more information about the -ADD header and the 1010 and 1014 transactions, see Maintaining and Cataloging Profiles. Examples for the transactions follow:

 -ADD PERSON,JAMES-DAVIS
 1010 ADD $DD-PROGRAMMER
 1014 JIM          JGD
 -UPD PERSON,JAMES-DAVIS(001),PROD
 -END
