Figure 4-28 shows the screen that is presented when a session is selected. The

DATA parameter is display only; all other parameters can be modified.

Summary

The intent of the exercise above is to illustrate the steps required to create a new

OLA security class. Some of the steps can be eliminated by copying a suitable

OLA class and proceeding to modify it to suit installation requirements. If that is

done, however, parameters associated with skipped steps should be verified to

ensure that they provide the correct level of OLA security.

Use of additional scope values requires strict adherence to a member naming

standard if wildcard screening is going to be used. Deviation from the naming

standard can cause members to fall in or out of scope unintentionally, which

could possibly result in an undesirable outcome.

4.5 Batch OLA

This section talks about the Session Manager Batch Administration capability.

This capability is very useful for making changes to a large number of

configuration definitions. The batch process is based on four commands and a

series of user-defined control files. The commands and their syntax are covered

in this section.

ISZSRCH - Search the configuration

ISZSRCH searches the Session Manager configuration files for definitions that

match specified search criteria. When a match is found, one or more output

records are written, in user-specified format, containing information derived from

the matched definition. See Example 4-11.

Example 4-11 ISZSRCH syntax

ISZSRCH

STATEMENT(ddname_list)

SESSION(session_list)

SESSION(ALL)

KEYWORD(keyword_list)

NOTKEYWORD(keyword_list)

OUTPUT(DDN(ddname [mbrname]) [disp] [MAX(n)] [formatspec])

OUTPUT(VAR(varname) [MAX(n)] [formatspec])

OUTPUT(AUDIT [MAX(n)] [formatspec])

LISTMEMBERS

TRACE

PARMS(DDN(ddname [mbrname]))

PARMS(VAR(varname))

ISZUPDT - Update the configuration

ISZUPDT updates the Session Manager configuration files. It reads a control file

containing ADD, REP, MOD, and DEL instructions, typically (but not necessarily)

generated by ISZSRCH. See Example 4-12.

Example 4-12 ISZUPDT syntax

ISZUPDT

INPUT(DDN)

INPUT(DDN(ddname [mbrname]))

INPUT(VAR(varname))

ACTIVATE(DDN(ddname [mbrname]) [disp])

ACTIVATE(VAR(varname))

OUTPUT(DDN(ddname [mbrname]) [disp])

OUTPUT(VAR(varname))

OUTPUT(AUDIT)

CONTINUE

LISTINPUT

TRACE

PARMS(DDN(ddname [mbrname]))

PARMS(VAR(varname))

ISZACTV - Activate pending updates

ISZACTV activates updates made to the Session Manager configuration files,

without restarting the instances. Updates normally take effect only when the

Session Manager instances are next restarted (and this is always true for DEL

updates). ISZACTV reads a control file containing ACTIVATE instructions,

typically (but not necessarily) generated by ISZUPDT. The updates can have

been applied by running ISZUPDT, or via the OLA panels. See Example 4-13.

Example 4-13 ISZACTV syntax

ISZACTV

ALL

INPUT(DDN)

INPUT(DDN(ddname [mbrname]))

INPUT(VAR(varname))

OUTPUT(DDN(ddname [mbrname]) [disp])

OUTPUT(VAR(varname))

OUTPUT(AUDIT)

CONTINUE

LISTINPUT

TRACE

PARMS(DDN(ddname [mbrname]))

PARMS(VAR(varname))

ISZREMC - Invoke Session Manager command

ISZREMC invokes a Session Manager command. It is typically used as the value

of INITIAL_CMD in SYSTEM definitions.
