Initialization File Statement Modifications

Update the CA WA CA 7 Edition initialization file.

The SECURITY statement has several parameters that can affect the agent job interface. Determine whether you want to use external security to control jobs and commands destined for agents. If you want external security, code the following on the SECURITY statement of the initialization file:

EXTERNAL=(LOGON,AGENT,…)

Indicates to make external security calls.

AGCLASS={FACILITY|aaaaaaaa}

Determines the security resource class to examine.

AGUSER=(OWNER,REQ,QJCL,CA7)

Determines the mainframe user ID to pass with the job message. This value is tied to the internal agent security file “manager_userID” field.

Note: For more information, see the CA WA CA 7 Edition Security Reference Guide.

On the DBASE statement, you can provide the name of a default job with the DEFAULTAG parameter. This name lets you set default values according to site needs when a job is defined without specifying the values explicitly.

On the XPDEF statement is where agent job activation occurs. The two parameters are the following:

AGENTJOB=YES

Activates the agent job interface. The default is NO.

AGENTDAY=nn

(Optional) Specifies the number of days to retain information in the CA7AGNT file before that information is eligible for deletion. The default is 15, although you can code from 1 to 35.
