Issue/Introduction

How can a site determine if the ACF2 VM CMS security is installed and/or active?

 

Environment

 

Resolution

The ACF SHOW SYSTEMS command can be used to display options the control program component of ACF2 uses, including the name of the ACF2 service machine, the number of command limiting and diagnose limiting cache entries, and the FORCEID, AUTOLOG, and NOAUTOU lists as well as SRVMOPTS options which includes the CMS security setting.

The ACF SHOW SYSTEM will show if CMS security is active. The CMS SECURITY setting will show under the " -- ACF2VM CONFIG (or VMXAOPTS) PARAMETERS IN EFFECT -- " section as shown below.
