ADD DISKFILE Command
ADD DISKFILE creates a Safeguard authorization record for one or more existing disk
files. After an authorization record is created for a disk file, all attempts to access the
disk file are subject to a Safeguard authorization check and optionally to Safeguard
auditing.
Only the owner of a disk file, the owners group manager, or the local super ID can add
an authorization record for a disk file.
You can use SET DISKFILE to establish default disk-file attribute values and then use
ADD DISKFILE simply to name the disk files to which the default attributes are to be
applied. You can also specify values for the disk-file attributes in your ADD DISKFILE
command. The current default values are used for any attributes not specified in your
ADD DISKFILE command.
DISKFILE
specifies DISKFILE as the object type of the ADD command. Omit this option if
DISKFILE is the assumed object type. (For more information on assumed object
types, see the
ASSUME Command on page 4-3.)
filename-list
specifies one or more disk files for which authorization records are to be added.
(Authorization records can be added only for disk files that already exist.)
filename-list can be either of:
disk-file-name
( disk-file-name [ , disk-file-name ] ... )
disk-file-name
can be any disk-file name. The name can cont
ain wild-card characters.
ADD DISKFILE filename-list [ , ]
[ LIKE disk-file-name | disk-file-attribute ]
