Use the MULTIPLE command to change the status of all directory entries defined in a control file.
MULTIPLE {"Parms"}
Parms:
ACTIVATE filename filetype | HOLD filename filetype | NEWUSER filename filetype | REMOVE filename filetype
Moves the USER directory entries listed in the specified control file from the CA VM:Director HOLD minidisk to the CA VM:Director DRCT minidisk and the CP object directory. This move activates the user IDs.
Moves the USER directory entries listed in the specified control file from the CA VM:Director DRCT minidisk to the CA VM:Director HOLD minidisk and removes them from the CP object directory. This move deactivates the user IDs, putting them on hold.
Creates USER or IDENTITY directory entries using disk space allocation and format information in the specified control file. Through console prompts, you can specify an alternative skeleton file or subpool name. If in the specified skeleton file, there is a *ENROLL special comment with the IPLstmt option, and if a sample profile is available or specified on a *SP= special comment in the skeleton file, CA VM:Director copies that sample profile to the top‑level directory for the user ID as PROFILE EXEC. If there is already a PROFILE EXEC file in the user’s top‑level directory, a sample profile specified on a *SP= special comment is not copied.
The new user’s directory entry is not written to the BKUP minidisk when using the MULTIPLE command with the NEWUSER parameter.
Removes the USER or IDENTITY directory entries listed in the specified control file from the CA VM:Director DRCT minidisk and the CP object directory, and formats any minidisks in those entries. An IDENTITY entry can only be removed if it contains no BUILD statements.
Note: When CA VM:Director deletes a minidisk that is on a pack that is under its control, it deletes links to that deleted minidisk from the directory.
Is the CMS filename and filetype of the control file to use. The file can reside on any of your accessed minidisks.
The MULTIPLE command uses a control file, which resides on a minidisk accessed by the directory manager, to add, delete, hold, or activate a group of virtual machines.
If CA VM:Director manages your SFS and you use this command to add new users, then all file pools that CA VM:Director manages must be active and available so that it can check them all for file space that may be owned by the same user ID names as the ones you are adding. If any file pool managed by CA VM:Director is not available for checking, or if CA VM:Director finds any file space in an available file pool owned by one of the same user ID names, the command will fail.
A control file is a regular CMS file that contains records that describe the specifications for each virtual machine. The records in the control file used with the MULTIPLE command have positional parameters. Tokens exceeding the valid number of characters are truncated to the maximum acceptable length. The general format of these records is:
userid [{password|*} [{acct|*} [{distcode|*} [disksize [blocksize [label ]]]]]]
Specifies the user ID to activate, place on hold, create, or remove.
The remaining parameters are valid only with the NEWUSER parameter. The command ignores these parameters if you specify them with ACTIVATE, HOLD, or REMOVE.
Specifies the password for the new user ID. The default password is the same as the user ID. To use the default password, specify an asterisk. You cannot enter a password phrase in the control file. Only passwords of up to eight characters are supported.
Specifies the account number for the new user ID. The default account number is the one specified in the skeleton file. If there is no account number in the skeleton file, the default account number is the same as the user ID name. To use the default account number, specify an asterisk.
Specifies the distribution code for the user ID to create. The default distribution code is the one specified in the skeleton file. If there is no distribution code in the skeleton file, the default distribution code is the same as the user ID name. To use the default distribution code, specify an asterisk.
Specifies the size of the 191 minidisk to allocate, specified either as the number of 512‑byte blocks or in units of K (1024 bytes) or M (1024K bytes). By default, no 191 minidisk is created. Disk space is allocated from the default subpool or the subpool specified in response to a console prompt.
Specifies the blocksize for formatting the new 191 minidisk. The default is 1K.
Specifies the minidisk label for the 191 minidisk. The default is DSK191.
Example
To place all the user IDs in the control file USER FILE on hold, enter:
