Table B-3 describes CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN settings when it is set to MID and
Direction-Diskfile is set to Filename-First. In this case DISKFILE-PATTERN ACL gets
evaluated after DISKFILE ACL evaluation. If the DISKFILE-PATTERN ACL evaluation
results in NORECORD, Normal ACL evaluates SUBVOLUME and VOLUME ACL. The
first column indicates the DISKFILE ACL setting and the second column indicates the
DISKFILE PATTERN setting. Last three columns indicate the final access evaluation
based on the Safeguard global configuration attribute COMBINATION-DISKFILE
values FIRST-ACL, FIRST-RULE and ALL.
Table B-4 describes CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN settings when it is set to MID and
Direction-Diskfile is set to Volume-First. In this case DISKFILE-P
ATTERN ACL gets
evaluated after VOLUME and SUBVOLUME ACL evaluation. If the DISKFILE-
PATTERN ACL evaluation results in NORECORD, Normal ACL evaluates DISKFILE
ACL. The first column indicates the VOLUME ACL setting, the second column

Table B-2. CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN settings
Result from: CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN value
Normal Pattern OFF FIRST LAST ONLY
N the request is denied (NO)
Y the request is granted (YES)
NR no norecord was found (NORECORD)
CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN OFF searches only for normal protection records.
CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN FIRST searches for a pattern protection record, and if the result is NORECORD,

CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN LAST searches for a normal protection record, and if the result is NORECORD,
then searches for a pattern protection record.
CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN ONLY searches only for a pattern protection record.
1
NORMALOFF Check-Diskfile-Pattern is OFF and the OUTCOME is determined by only searching for a
normal protection record.
2
NORMALFIRST Check-Diskfile-Pattern is FIRST and the OUTCOME is determined by a normal protection
record because the pattern search resulted in norecord.
3
NORMALLAST Check-Diskfile-Pattern is LAST and the OUTCOME is determined by a pattern protection
record because the normal search resulted in norecord.
4
PATTERNFIRST Check-Diskfile-Pattern is FIRST and the OUTCOME is determined by a pattern protection
record.
5
PATTERNLAST Check-Diskfile-Pattern is LAST and the OUTCOME is determined by a pattern protection
record because the normal search resulted in norecord.
6
