Configuration File Reference › PRODUCT Record (CA VM:Secure only) › Description

Description

To implement an interface between CA VM:Secure and another product, the PRODUCT CONFIG file must have an appropriate PRODUCT record, and the other product’s configuration file must contain a PRODUCT VMSECURE record.

PRODUCT records are also used during processing of the SYSTEM macro. CA VM:Secure routinely checks for links to any of its accessed minidisks, and sends warning messages to any users found to have a link. However, other CA products may need to have a link to them. Use of the PRODUCT record will prevent the warning message from being sent.

Note: For more information about performing product maintenance, see the chapter "Macros" in the Administration Guide. For more information about the CA product interfaces, see the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager Product Interface Guide.

Example

Implement the interface between CA VM:Tape and CA VM:Secure:

1. Edit the PRODUCT CONFIG file by entering:

   vmsecure config product
   

2. Add the following record to the PRODUCT CONFIG file, where vmtape is the name of your CA VM:Tape virtual machine:

   PRODUCT VMTAPE vmtape
   

3. File the changes.
4. Log on to the CA VM:Tape machine, then end the machine operation.
5. Edit the VMTAPE CONFIG file and add the following record to the VMTAPE CONFIG file, where vmsecure is the name of your CA VM:Secure service virtual machine:

   PRODUCT VMSECURE vmsecure
   

6. Start CA VM:Tape.
