Establishing Communication Authority

If you plan to run ATMCOMM on the OPERATOR user ID, and if the name of your CA MIC service machine is MIMGR, communication authority is established by default. In this case, you do not need to follow the instructions in this section. You may proceed to Running ATMCOMM.

To provide communication between ATMCOMM and CA MIC, both programs must know the identity of the other. ATMCOMM assumes that CA MIC is running on a service machine called MIMGR, and attempts to connect to MIMGR unless you select another name for the CA MIC service machine (MICVM).

To establish communication between ATMCOMM and a different CA MIC service machine, you can set a GLOBALV variable. You do this by placing the following statement in the operator PROFILE EXEC file:

GLOBALV SELECT MIMVM SET MICVM altuser

The GLOBALV command should be executed on the user ID that will run the ATMCOMM program before ATMCOMM is started. The altuser value represents the new name you select for the CA MIC service machine.

In addition, you must identify the user ID on which you will be running ATMCOMM to the CA MIM service machine. To identify the user ID, place the following statement in the INIT MIM file:

GCMINIT ATMCOMM=OPERATOR

This statement grants authority for ATMCOMM running on user ID OPERATOR, to link to CA MIM. Only the user named in this statement can run ATMCOMM.
