Defining User Profiles

Note: This section does not apply to CA SOLVE:FTS, CA SOLVE:Access Session Management, CA SOLVE:InfoMaster, and CA SOLVE:NetMail.

User profile information controls what resources and messages a user sees on monitors and consoles. User profile records are automatically propagated to all linked regions when created.

To assist with ease of administration if a UAMS user ID definition does not already exist, a UAMS user ID definition is automatically generated when a user profile is created for a user and a group ID is specified.

Note: If you are using a full security exit, user ID definitions are not automatically generated.

To create a profile for a new user, complete the following steps:

Enter /ASADMIN from the primary menu to display the Automation Services Administration Menu.
Select option UP - User Profiles to display the User Profile List.
Press F4 (Add) to add a new user profile. The action presents you with the first panel in the user profile definition. The following sections describe some of the panels. Use F8 (Forward) to scroll to each new panel.

File or save the new record.

A UAMS Update Report is displayed if the following conditions apply:

You have completed fields on the User Description panel.

The SECSHIPPING parameter group is set in the current region to enable automatic propagation of UAMS updates.

PROD--------------- Automation Services : UAMS Update Report ------------------ Command ===> Function=Browse Scroll ===> PAGE A UAMS update request was sent to all linked regions for user BROWNP with the following results: Region Message PROD13 RM350008 UAMS ADD PROCESSED SUCCESSFULLY PROD14 RM350403 UAMS ADD PROCESSED SUCCESSFULLY PROD15 RM350403 UAMS ADD PROCESSED SUCCESSFULLY ******************************* BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************

Note: When you have defined one user profile, you can use the C (Copy) action to duplicate an existing user profile and change the values for another user in the copied record as required.

Customizing Parameters that Affect Security

Specifying a User’s Details

You can specify a user’s details by using the User Description panel. These details are the same as those details in the user’s UAMS user ID definition.

PROD------------------ Automation Services : User Description ----------------- Command ===> Function=ADD . User Description -----------------------------------------------------------. | | | User ID ............ BROWNP__ | | Initial Password ... | | Model User ID ...... | | User Name .......... Peter Brown_________ | | User Location ......

Operator Group | | | ’-----------------------------------------------------------------------------’

Note: If the user is already defined to UAMS, you can enter an equal sign (=) in the User Name, User Location, Telephone Number, and Group ID fields to get the values from the UAMS record. Also, you do not need to complete the Initial Password field. If, however, you enter new values in any of these fields, the user’s UAMS record is updated with the new values.

Customizing a User’s Primary Menu Format Control

You can customize a user’s Primary Menu Format Control display by using the Primary Menu Format Control panel.

The panel enables you to specify defaults for the following:

Format for the Primary Menu
(CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP) Format of the IP Summary display, including sort order for IP Traffic Summary and auto-refresh

Customizing a User’s Alert Monitor

You can customize a user’s default alert monitor display by using the Alert Monitor Profile panel.

The panel enables you to specify defaults for the following:

Alert monitor filter that restricts the displayed alerts (You can define the filters at the Filter Definition List panel. To access the list, enter /ALADMIN.F.)
Display format that determines what alert information is displayed (You can define the format at the List Definition List panel. To access the list, enter /ALADMIN.L.)
Alert sort criteria to be applied when the user accesses the alert monitor

Customizing a User’s Resource Monitor Display

Note: This section only applies to CA NetMaster NA, CA NetMaster FTM, CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for z/OS, and CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for CICS.

Besides the resource monitor profile, there are profiles for other types of monitors that you may customize. Depending on the products running in your region, you have different types of monitors available to you.

You can customize a user’s resource monitor display by using the Resource Monitor Profile panel.

The panel displays the following information:

Resource monitor filter
Display format
The number of display COLUMNS
Sort criteria
Extended display control (ON|OFF)

Customizing a User’s Message Monitor Profile

Note: This section only applies to CA NetMaster Network Automation, CA NetMaster File Transfer Management, CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for z/OS, and CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for CICS.

You can customize a user’s message monitor (or Operator Console Services) profile by entering the relevant information on the following four panels:

Message Monitor Screen Control
Message Monitor Command Control
Message Monitor Message Receipt
Message Monitor Message Formatting

To access these panels, enter /ASADMIN.UP.

Note: Customized values (that is, values other than the default) are set for the message monitor only if the $RMCCOCS procedure is run. The procedure is specified in the user ID definition.

See the Online Help for information about the fields on these panels.

Entering a Command String

The Message Monitor Command Control panel includes an Initial Command field. You can use this field to enter a command string that is issued when the user selects the message monitor.

Customizing a User’s Consolidated Console

Note: This section only applies to CA NetMaster NA, CA NetMaster FTM, CA SOLVE:Operations Automation, and CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for CICS.

You can specify the message profiles to activate when a user accesses the consolidated console by using the Console Consolidation Profile panel.

The panel lists the message profiles available to the user. (These message profiles are specified as the console routing codes in the user definition and correspond to the message profile IDs).

For each profile, the panel displays the following:

Name of the profile
ID of the profile
User status indicating whether the profile is enabled to the consolidated console

Note: If a profile is enabled, it is not effective unless its global status is also ACTIVE.

Global status indicating whether the profile is defined to be active (that is, whether the profile can be loaded)
Description of the profile

A profile has a status of either DISABLED or ENABLED.

To change the status of a profile from the Console Consolidation Profile panel

Press F10 (ScrLst).
The list of profiles becomes scrollable. When you press F7 (Backward) and F8 (Forward), you scroll through the list (instead of scrolling through the user profile panels).
Type D next to the profiles you want to disable and E next to the profiles you want to enable, and press Enter.
The user statuses of the selected profiles are updated.
Press F3 (OK) to accept the settings; press F3 (File) to file the settings.

Customizing a User’s SNA Network Summary Display

If you are using CA NetMaster NA, you can specify the VTAM domains to be monitored in the SNA network summary display by using the VTAM Domain Consolidation Profile panel.

The panel lists the domains that are included in the SNA network summary display.

To change which domains are included and excluded

Press F10 (LstRegn), and then enter S or I next to the domains to be included and X next to the domains to be excluded.
The domains selected for inclusion are flagged.
Press F3 (OK) to accept the settings; press F3 (File) to file the settings.
