Issue/Introduction

I am applying maintenance related to CA ACF2 member level protection and the instructions say to run CAS4TERM and CAS4INIT. What are CAS4TERM and CAS4INIT?

 

 

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

Special Instructions for CA ACF2 maintenance related to member level protection state:

SMP APPLY, LLA REFRESH, RUN CAS4TERM/CAS4INIT REQUIRED

CAS4TERM and CAS4INIT are used to disable and enable CA ACF2 member level protection.

CAS4TERM and CAS4INIT are ACF2 member level protection utility programs.

The utility program CAS4TERM can be run to disable the PDS member-level protection component. To accomplish this, run a job with the following EXEC statement:

//PDS EXEC PGM=CAS4TERM,REGION=4M

The utility program CAS4INIT can be run to enable the PDS member-level protection component. Run a job with the following EXEC statement:

//PDS EXEC PGM=CAS4INIT,REGION=4M

The PDS member-level protection component is started automatically by eTrust CA-ACF2 for z/OS when GSO PDS records are present.

 

Additional Information

Details on CAS4TERM and CAS4INIT can be found in the ACF2 Administrator Guide, Appendix D: Implementing Member-Level Protection section "Troubleshooting".
