Expert User

When a user selects one of the following options to restore CMS or SFS data, CA VM:Backup invokes VMBEXIT3 to determine whether the requesting expert user is authorized to restore for the user ID displayed in the Restore CMS/SFS files for user ID field:

• Option 1, Select minidisks or directories from which to restore
• Option 2, Select files to restore by date range or file name

When a user selects one of the following options to restore BFS data, CA VM:Backup invokes VMBEXIT3 to determine whether the requesting expert user is authorized to restore for the user ID displayed in the Restore BFS files from file space for user ID field:

• Option 3, Select directories from which to restore files
• Option 4, Select files to restore by date range or file name

If the user exit grants the requesting user FORUSER authorization to restore for the source user, CA VM:Backup invokes the user exit with the FORDATE keyword. If authorization is not granted to the requesting user, CA VM:Backup issues a message indicating VMBEXIT3 denied authorization to restore for the source user. If the user exit returns an invalid return code, CA VM:Backup issues a message indicating a coding error in VMBEXIT3; the user cannot restore.
