Safeguard Reference Manual — 520618-030
8 - 31
ALTER DISKFILE-PATTERN Command
A process is created from the object test such that purge permission is granted to
user x.y.
ALTER DISKFILE-PATTERN Command
ALTER DISKFILE-PATTERN changes one or more diskfile-pattern attribute values in
an existing diskfile-pattern authorization record. The primary owner of a pattern, the
primary owner’s group manager, the local super ID, and any user with OWNER
authority on the ACL can change a pattern authorization record.
Except for the ACCESS attribute, new attribute values specified in an ALTER
DISKFILE command replace the existing attribute value with the specified value. Using
ALTER DISKFILE to specify a new ACCESS access-spec adds the new access-
spec to the existing ACL. To remove authorities previously granted to users, use the
minus-sign (-) form of access-spec.
pattern-spec-list
is the same as the corresponding non-pattern object types. That is, a PATTERN-
SPEC-LIST is a comma-separated list of one or more PATTERN-SPEC attributes. (
pattern-spec [ , pattern-spec ] . . . )
ALL
instructs Safeguard to use all the wildcard characters as a part of the search string,
not as part of the pattern.
LIKE pattern-spec
adopts the existing attribute values of pattern-spec as the pattern-
attribute values to be used for the authorization record or records being added.
pattern-spec
are the characters that define the pattern that describe a set of objects. The
PATTERN-SPEC for a diskfile pattern is a fully qualified diskfile name that
contains at least one wildcard in either the subvolume or file name component
that includes the following components:
•
A volume name, which will include only valid volume characters; that is,
wildcard characters are not part of the pattern, and if present, imply a one-
dimensional search. No wildcard characters are allowed in the volume
when used for a LIKE operation.
ALTER DISKFILE-PATTERN pattern-spec-list [ , ][ ALL ]
[ WHERE option-list ] [ , ]
[ LIKE pattern-spec | pattern-attribute ]
[ , pattern-attribute ] ...
