Issue/Introduction

What is security class CACMD and resource FMIDBA used for and how can this class be set up in ACF2?

Resolution

This resource is required for the File Master Plus product which is documented in Configure File Master Plus for IMS.

ACF2 will protect this resources class by default with a default type code of CAC. There is no special setup required to turn on validation for this resource class. A resource rule can be written in ACF2 to address the requirements of File Master Plus with the following TSO ACF commands:

SET R(CAC)
RECKEY FMIDBA ADD( UID(uid_string_here) ALLOW)

Replace uid_string_here with the ACF2 UID string for the user.

To make this type resident (optional), the following TSO ACF commands can be issued:

SET C(GSO)
CHANGE INFODIR TYPES(R-RCAC) ADD
F ACF2,REFRESH(INFODIR)
F ACF2,REBUILD(CAC)
