The PASSWORD attribute specifies a password for the SU. The password must match
the password in the access method configuration. If a password has not been entered
for the access method, do not specify this attribute, or define it to be an empty string.
The NAMERULE attribute determines the application name that SNAX Creator-2
searches for:
PLUNAMEONLY specifies that the name of the application to be searched for in the
configuration database has the form C- pluname .
FIRSTWORD specifies that the name of the application to be searched for in the
configuration database has the form C- pluname-firstword , where firstword
is the first character string up to the first blank in the logon user data. This naming
rule allows SNAX Creator-2 to interpret old Creator process (T6954) logon data
streams unchanged.
The PLUNAME attribute specifies the name to be used as the second part of the APPL
object name (following the C-), which then overrides the name applied by the access
method. Consider the following example:
ADD SU $CREA.$SSCP.#cre
, NAMERULE PLUNAMEONLY
, PLUNAME myname
ADD APPL $CREA.C-myname
, METHOD PATHWAY
, PATHMON $pmon1
, PROGRAM prog1
When the PLUNAME attribute is included, SNAX Creator-2 uses the APPL object
named C-myname and ignores the PLU name in Program Start Requests arriving on
the SU object named #cre. This eliminates the need to coordinate the PLU name used
by SNAX Creator-2 with the PLU name used by the access method.
Adding ENTRY Objects The ADD ENTRY command is used to add ENTRY objects to the configuration
database. ENTRY objects provide symbolic definitions for variables that are evaluated
during logon processing. The TEXT attribute of an ENTRY object specifies a character
string to replace occurrences of the entry name in square brackets. TEXT is a required
attribute. If the character string contains embedded blanks, it must be enclosed by
quotes.
The following example demonstrates adding fixed-text entries to the configuration
database. The ADD ENTRY commands add two entries to the configuration database,
and the ADD APPL command adds an application named mypath that references the
entries:
ADD ENTRY $CREA.mypathmons
, TEXT "$pwy1 $pwy2 $pwy3"
ADD ENTRY $CREA myprogs
, TEXT "prog1 prog2"
