If CA VM:Account is installed and you specify VMACCOUN, then the CA VM:Secure facility for changing account numbers is coordinated with VM:Account.

If CA VM:Schedule is installed and you specify VMSCHEDU, then you can create rules to control the CA VM:Schedule CANCEL, QUERY, and SCHEDULE commands.

If CA VM:Tape is installed and you specify VMTAPE, then you can create rules to control the CATALOG, LIST, and MOUNT commands.

The PRODUCT VMSISERV record allows VMANAGER to perform component maintenance.

userid

Specifies the user ID of the service virtual machine running the specified product.

[ MASTER ]

Identifies this service virtual machine as the master for the product; required if the product has more than one virtual machine defined to the product.

CA VM:Secure allows more than one virtual machine for each product to be defined in the PRODUCT CONFIG file and will supply answers to any virtual machine that makes a request. However, if this product needs to make a request to a product with more than one virtual machine defined, it makes the request to the virtual machine that is defined as the master.
