How Command Sources on Linkages are Identified

To identify command sources, specify one of the local command source values on a LINK command.

A command source may qualify for more than one linkage to a particular system. For example, TSO user USERID1 matches both TSOUSER=USERID1 and TSOUSER=ALL. In this case, CA MIC uses the more specific linkage for the command source (TSOUSER=USERID1). If there is no specific linkage for that command source, then CA MIC uses the general linkage (TSOUSER=ALL). You can specify different command authority levels for specific and general linkages.

Note: You can only specify one command source identifier per LINK command.
