SURROGAT Record

Use the SURROGAT record to specify whether CA VM:Backup is to use the Surrogate facility.

SURROGAT {ON | OFF}

The Surrogate facility causes CA VM:Backup to use the security privileges of the user ID submitting the job instead of the CA VM:Backup security privileges. This facility supports the DIAGNOSE X'D4' interface to various security system products.

Definitions

ON

Specifies that CA VM:Backup is to try to use the Surrogate facility during initialization. If the facility is not usable, CA VM:Backup notifies the system operator and does not initialize.

OFF

Specifies that CA VM:Backup is to ignore the Surrogate facility during initialization, regardless of whether it is installed on your VM system.

Description

You can include only one SURROGAT record in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file. If you omit this record, CA VM:Backup checks whether the Surrogate facility is available during initialization. If the facility is available, CA VM:Backup uses it. If the facility is not available, CA VM:Backup initializes without it.

Interactive Reconfiguration

You cannot interactively reconfigure the SURROGAT record through CA VM:Backup system administrator screens.
