ACSCTL File Configuration

The ACSCTL is a configuration file that defines constraints to the namespace used by

the ACS subsystem. The file defines the associated PATHMON environments that

comprise a Pathway domain. The following three sections must be defined in the

ACSCTL file: ACS Domain section, the Pathway Domain section, and the Owner

Membership section.

ACS Domain Section

The ACS Domain section defines the ACS domain being used for the current NonStop

system. In the TS/MP 2.3 release, the ACS domain is used only for a consistency

check for the validity of the

ACSCTL file. The ACS domain name mentioned in this

section must match the ACS domain name provided in the

ADD ACS command

through the SCF interface. Otherwise, this will be treated as an error condition and the

state of the

ACSCTL file will become inactive.

Pathway Domain Section

The Pathway Domain section identifies a set of PATHMON processes that can be used

to obtain links to server classes. The set of PATHMON processes is called the Pathway

domain. The PATHMON processes must run on the same NonStop system.

Owner Membership Section

The Owner Membership section identifies a set of Pathway domains for which the user

is the owner. The ACS core processes are open to PATHMON processes and use

owner membership information. If a particular PATHMON’s process access ID (PAID)

does not match the user specified in the owner membership section, the PATHMON is

not used in the domain. A Pathway domain can occur only once in the owner

membership section. Multiple users can own a Pathway domain to match the user

name template (group-name. member-name) as specified by the owner membership.

Note. The ACSCTL filename must not be more than seven characters.
