Model an ACID with the CREATE Command

Use the CREATE command to model ACIDS. All basic information is copied from the model ACID, including the name and password. The security administrator can also change, add, or omit any basic information from the model.

Basic information includes:

• The name associated with the ACID
• The ACID type
• Facilities permitted access
• Associated profiles

Any existing ACID can be used as the model. All ACID types can be created.

All rules of scope and administrative authority are supported.

If the model ACID is outside the scope of the security administrator and/or the model ACID has an information field that requires ADMIN authority the security administrator does not have, the model ACID cannot be used to create the new ACID. For example, a security administrator needs MISC1(INSTDATA) authority to copy INSTDATA information from the model ACID to the new ACID.

To create an ACID from a model, enter the command:

TSS CREATE(newacid) USING(modelacid)
                    [NAME('new name')]
                    [PASSWORD(newpassword,nn,EXP)]
                    [INSTDATA(new date)]

newacid

The name of the new ACID.

modelacid

The ACID used as a model.

Examples: create an ACID from a model

This example creates a new ACID called USER03, using the ACID USER02 as the model:

TSS CREATE(USER03) USING(USER02)

This example gives USER03 a name and password different from the model:

TSS CREATE(USER03) USING(USER02)
                   NAME(‘JOHN SMITH’)
                   PASSWORD(WELL,7,EXP)

This example changes the name and password of USER03, and the contents of the INSTDATA field:

TSS CREATE(USER03) USING(USER02)
                   NAME(‘JOHN SMITH’)
                   PASSWORD(WELL,7,EXP)
                   INSTDATA(‘MARCH 85’)

This example does not include any INSTDATA information from the USER02 model ACID:

TSS CREATE(USER03) USING(USER02)
                   NAME(‘JOHN SMITH’)
                   PASSWORD(WELL,7,EXP)
                   INSTDATA( )
