CA ACF2 System Verification Process

When a user submits a transfer request, the CA XCOM Data Transport security interface triggers the CA ACF2 security system verification process. CA ACF2 checks the user's resource access privileges to determine whether the user has READ/WRITE authority to the resource in question. For example, when a user requests an outbound data set transfer, the CA ACF2 security system verifies that the user is authorized to READ from the data set on the user's local system that would be sent to the remote target system. Also, when a user requests an inbound transfer of a remotely-stored data set whose name does not match the name of any data set on the user's local (target) system, CA ACF2 verifies that the user is authorized to ALLOCATE the remotely-stored data set.
