Special Uses of qfiles

There are three types of qfiles automatically invoked in the following order by CA OLQ at signon:

• PF key module— Defines the defaults for PF keys in command mode, and can contain default settings for other CA OLQ options.

  The PF key module is associated with the CA OLQ task code and is invoked first.

• Signon profile qfile— Establishes a CA OLQ environment for a user upon entry to CA OLQ.

  The signon profile qfile is associated with a user ID and is invoked after the pfkey module. The options set in this qfile override those set in the PF key module.

• Signon qfile— Automatically defines a user's access to a specific subschema at signon to that subschema.

  The signon qfile is associated with a subschema (which is in turn associated with a user). The signon qfile is invoked after the signon profile qfile and only when security for CA OLQ is on. The options set in this qfile override those set in the signon profile qfile.
