Configuration File Reference › ACCESS Record › Description

Description

An ACCESS record must exist for each of the three required database minidisks, DRCT, BKUP, and HOLD. These database minidisks must contain only files placed there by CA VM:Secure. Do not allocate the DRCT and BKUP minidisks on the same physical DASD. The BKUP minidisk, in combination with backups you run on a regular basis, is used to restore the current CA VM:Secure directory database if a hardware failure results in the loss of the DRCT minidisk.

Note: Do not directly modify files on the BKUP, DRCT, or HOLD minidisks while CA VM:Secure is running. Use the appropriate CA VM:Secure command to update any files on these minidisks; otherwise, unpredictable results may occur.

(CA VM:Secure only) You must have an ACCESS RULE record in the PRODUCT CONFIG file to activate the Rules Facility.
