Define CA 7 to CA ACF2

CA WA CA 7 Edition requires a LOGONID defined to CA ACF2 to establish access authority to data sets and to allow for job submission. The LOGONID must be defined as a started task using the procedure name that invokes CA WA CA 7 Edition. Multiple users can be logged on to CA WA CA 7 Edition at the same time. For this reason, it is referred to as a MUSASS - Multiple User Single Address Space Subsystem and requires the MUSASS attribute when defining the LOGONID.

CA WA CA 7 Edition also requires the authorization to submit jobs. This authorization can be accomplished by adding the JOBFROM permission to the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID. This exempts CA WA CA 7 Edition Submit Validation and provides uninterrupted production scheduling. You can use the following CA ACF2 command example to define the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID to CA ACF2.

Note: This command must be entered under CA ACF2. You can use online or batch CA ACF2 processing to define the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID.

The following is an example CA ACF2 command used to define the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID:

  INSERT  CA7  NAME(CA 7 Production ID)  STC  MUSASS
  DUMPAUTH  JOBFROM

INSERT: Specifies the CA ACF2 command used to add a LOGONID to the CA ACF2 database.
CA7: Specifies the name chosen in this example for the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID.
NAME: Indicates a comment field used to describe the LOGONID being added.
STC: Identifies the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID as a started task ID.
MUSASS: Defines the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID as a Multiple User Single Address Space Subsystem.
DUMPAUTH: Permits the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID to generate complete dumps of its address space in the event of an abend.
JOBFROM: Lets CA WA CA 7 Edition use the JOBFROM statement for USERID insertion at job submission time.

Note: If you already have a started task LOGONID with similar permissions and attributes, you can use the INSERT USING command option when defining the CA WA CA 7 Edition LOGONID. For a complete description of the USING command option and the additional privileges and attributes shown in this example, see the CA ACF2 Administrator Guide (for z/OS).
