Administering an ACID's DEFNODES

DEFNODES can be assigned to an ACID in one of three ways:

• Using TSS CREATE.

  If you are using TSS CREATE, you need to specify the DEFNODES keyword. For example, the command shown below creates an ACID of USER01 for John Smith and designates NODEA, NODEB, and NODEC as his DEFNODES.

  TSS CREATE(USER01) NAME('John Smith') TYPE(USER)
           PASSWORD(shsh,30,exp) DEFNODES(NODEA,NODEB,NODEC)
  

• Using TSS CREATE with a model ACID.

  If you are using a model ACID, that ACID must have DEFNODES to be transferred to the new ACID. For example, the command shown below uses the ACID created in the previous example as the basis for Sam Jone's ACID, USER02. Since USER01 has DEFNODES, these same DEFNODES are being transferred to USER02.

  TSS CREATE(USER02) USING(USER01) Name('Sam Jones')
  

  Note: Model ACIDs can only be used as a basis for creating other ACIDs of the same TYPE. For example, you cannot use a model ACID whose TYPE is USER to create another ACID whose TYPE is DCA.

• Using TSS ADDTO with an existing ACID.

  You can add DEFNODES to an existing ACID. For example, the command shown below indicates that ACID01 now has DEFNODES of NODEB and NODEC.

  TSS ADDTO(ACID01) DEFNODES(NODEB,NODEC)
  

Note: If a TSS CREATE is issued without indicating the DEFNODES keyword, or by using a model ACID that does not have DEFNODES, no DEFNODES are supplied.

In addition to TSS ADDTO, you can also use TSS REMOVE and TSS REPLACE to update an ACID's existing DEFNODES definitions.

TSS REMOVE is used to delete one or more entries. For example, the command shown below removes NODEB from USER02's DEFNODES list while leaving NODEA and NODEC.

TSS REMOVE(USER02) DEFNODES(NODEB)

TSS REPLACE deletes an ACID's existing DEFNODES definitions in their entirety and replaces them with a completely new list. For example, the command shown below completely removes the current DEFNODES from USER02 and replaces them with NODEF, NODEG, and NODEH.

TSS REPLACE(USER02) DEFNODE(NODEF,NODEG,NODEH)

Note: A maximum of five DEFNODES can be added, removed, or replaced in a single TSS command.
