Notes on Security Statement Syntax › Resource Identifiers

Resource Identifiers

What is an Identifier

Identifiers are the smallest lexical units used to name resources in the CA IDMS environment.

The following are examples of identifiers:

• Area-name
• User-identifier
• Task-identifier

Qualifying Identifiers

Identifiers for some resources may need to be qualified by other identifiers. For example, an area name is always qualified by the name of the segment with which it is associated:

segment-name.area-name

Syntax diagrams in the chapters that follow indicate when an identifier may be qualified and whether the qualifier is required or optional.
