MVS CICS Tab

Use this tab to specify the logonID record attributes as a CICS operator. These fields identify:

• The operator's class, ID, and priority number
• The maximum amount of idle time that CA-ACF2 permits between transactions
• The CICS security key values that apply to this operator

  The class and security key values appear in hexadecimal format.

  The fields in this tab are listed below:

Operations Class

Specifies the user's CICS operator class. This is a three-byte hexadecimal value. In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the CICSCL logonID record field.

Size/Type: Three-byte hexidecimal field

Id

Specifies the user's three-character CICS operator ID. In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the CICSID logonID record field.

Size/Type: 1-3 alphanumeric characters

Priority

Specifies the user's CICS operator priority. In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the CICSPRI logonID record field. You can enter a value of 0 - 255.

Size/Type: 0 -3 numeric characters

Idle Time Limit

Specifies the maximum number of minutes allowed between transactions for this user. If this time elapses before the user submits a transaction, CA-ACF2 revalidates the user's logonID and password.

You can set the Idle Time Limit to a value between 0-255. If you set this field to zero, no limit is enforced. This field is available only if the CICS or IMS region has been set up to use IDLE in the startup parameters.

In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the IDLE logonID record field. You can use this field only if you set IDLE=YES in the CICS VERIFY or IMS IDLE parameter.

Size/Type: 1-3 numeric characters

Resource Access Key

Specifies the CICS resource access key. In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the CICSRSL logonID record field.

Size/Type: 1-6 alphanumeric characters

Security Key

Specifies the first three bytes of the transaction security key values. In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the CICSKEY logonID record field that uses hexadecimal notation.

Size/Type: 1-6 alphanumeric characters

Security Key Extension

Specifies the last five bytes of the transaction security key values. In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the CICSKEYX logonID record field that uses hexadecimal notation.

Size/Type: 1-10 alphanumeric characters

CICS Options

Specifies the SYSID of the C-CIC record to use at initialization time. If this field is blank or null, CA‑ACF2 CICS uses only the ACF2PARM parameter file. In CA‑ACF2, this is the same as the CICSOPT field.

Size/Type: 8 alphanumeric characters

ACF2 CICS

Specifies that CA-ACF2 CICS security is to be initialized in any CICS/ESA 4.1 or higher region running with this address space logonID. This bit has no effect on batch, TSO, other MUSASS environments such as IMS or IDMS 10.2 or earlier, or regions running versions of CICS earlier than 4.1. If you are running your CICS/ESA 4.1 regions using CICS external security facilities with CA-ACF2 MVS SAF controls and others using CICS external security facilities, create a logonID for each region.

In CA-ACF2, this is the same as the ACF2CICS logonID record field.

Multiple Signons

Specifies the number of multiple signons allowed.
