Unable to add COID to UID using the /COID command

Products

• CA 7 Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to add a Correspondence ID (COID) to a User ID (UID) using the topline/online command: /COID,ACTION=ADD, the command doesn't work.

Environment

Release: 12.0, 12.1

Component: WA CA 7 Edition

Cause

The /COID command displays the COID and UID association table; it does not perform dynamic updates. These associations are managed via macros within the security module.

Resolution

The COID and UID associations are managed within the security module (typically SASSUID or a site-specific module), which requires a manual update. To add a COID to a UID/table, perform the following steps:

1. Identify the Security Module: Locate the name of the security module associated with SASSUID, which is specified in the CA 7 initialization deck.
2. Locate the Source: Find the source code for the identified security module (associated with SASSUID) in the relevant library.  
3. Update the Macros: Modify the macros within the security module source code to include the desired COID for the specified UID. 
4. Assemble and Link: Assemble and link-edit the updated security module into your CA 7 load library using CAL2OPTN(AL2UM40) for the assembly process.
5. Apply Changes: Recycle CA 7 for the updated security module changes to take effect.
