TYPE Keyword—ACID Type

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the TYPE keyword to specify the type of ACID.

When used with CREATE, this keyword has the following format:

TSS CREATE(acid) TYPE(USER|PROFILE|GROUP|DEPARTMENT|DIVISION|ZONE|DCA|
                      VCA|ZCA|LSCA|SCA)
                 NAME('name')

If the administrator fails to enter the TYPE keyword, CA Top Secret automatically defaults to TYPE(USER).

When used with LIST, this keyword has the following format:

TSS LIST(ACIDS) DATA(dataType(s))
                TYPE(USER|PROFILE|GROUP|DCA|VCA|SCA|ZCA|LSCA|
                     DEPARTMENT|DIVISION|ZONE)

CA Top Secret only displays data concerning ACIDs within the administrator's scope. For example, an MSCA or an authorized SCA can list data for the entire site, a VCA for his division and all subordinate departments, and a DCA for his department.

If no operand for the TYPE keyword is entered, CA Top Secret lists all acids within the administrator's scope.

This keyword is used with:

The commands CREATE, LIST, and MOVE
The ACID types ACIDS, User, Profile, Group, Department, Division, Zone, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, and SCA

Example: TYPE keyword

This example creates a new department in the PARTS Division:

TSS CREATE(PART10) NAME('PARTS RETURN')
                   TYPE(DEPARTMENT)
                   DIVISION(PARTSDIV)

This example requests all security information for DCA's in the TECH Division:

TSS LIST(ACIDS) DATA(ALL)
                DIVISION(TECH)
                TYPE(DCA)
