Build Control Users

To build a control user for an application controlled by OPENGATE

Note: You define a control user as you would any other user. For more information, see the Administration Guide. You must use a defined, not dynamic, control user ID for OPENGATE.

  1. Create the control user ID:
    1. Specify a user ID identical to the name of your control ACL/E program for the application.
    2. Specify NONE in the Security system field on the Userid Maintenance Detail Panel.
    3. Specify NONE in the Transfer option field on the Userid Maintenance Detail Panel.
  2. Define a session for the controlled application:
    1. Access the Userid Maintenance Table Entry List and define a session for the application.

    Note: If multiple users will be starting and/or ending sessions concurrently to the controlled application, you can define additional sessions for the application to handle the concurrent session setup/cleanup activity. If a user tries to access the application while all of the control user's sessions are busy, the control ACL/E program will be scheduled on the session that has been processing for the longest amount of time (the session that should free up first).

    1. Access the Userid Maintenance Detail Panel and enter Y in the Start at signon field. This causes the session to start automatically when the control user is signed on to CA TPX.
  3. Create and define a startup ACL/E program for the session:
    1. Create a startup ACL/E program to perform initialization on the application before session setup and/or cleanup occurs (for example, signing on to IMS).

    Note: The startup ACL/E program is not the same as the control ACL/E program. A startup ACL/E program is necessary only if the application requires initialization before session setup and/or cleanup activity can be performed.

    1. Enter the name of the program in the Startup ACL field on the Userid Maintenance Detail Panel.
