Access Control Parameters
A sample of the Access Control file, AccessControl.cfg, is located in the MFT Platform Server directory.
The following table lists the definition of each parameter:
Parameter | Description |
USERID | Defines the local user ID. Either this or NODE/IPADDR must be specified. Both USERID and NODE/IPADDR can be specified. A value of DEFAULT indicates that this is the default value for a system. |
NODE | Defines the node definition. Either the NODE/IPADDR or USERID must be specified. Both USERID and NODE/IPADDR can be specified. A value of DEFAULT indicates that this is the default value for a system. This parameter is mutually exclusive with the IPADDR parameter. When defining nodes in this file, ensure that you use the proper case as these files are case sensitive. |
IPADDR | Defines the IP address in dotted decimal notation. Either the NODE/IPADDR or USERID must be specified. Both USERID and NODE/IPADDR can be specified. This parameter is mutually exclusive with the NODE parameter. |
DESCRIPTION | Defines a 32 -byte description or comment. |
SEND_DIR | Defines the default directory for files to be sent to another system. If this parameter is not defined, no default value is available for the files sent. |
RECEIVE_DIR | Defines the default directory for files to be received from another system. If this parameter is not defined, no default value is available for the files received. |
COMMAND_DIR | Defines the default directory for commands executed on this system. If this parameter is not defined, no default value is available for the commands executed. |
SUBMIT_DIR | Defines the default directory for files to be submitted into the z/OS internal reader . For MFT Platform Server on z/OS , you can also set this parameter to SUBMIT_HLQ. This parameter is required if SUBMIT_OPTION is set to ROOT or FORCE. This parameter is valid only for MFT Platform Server on z/OS. . |
SEND_OPTION | Defines the options for sending files. The valid values are as follows: ROOT - If a directory is specified, the directory is appended to the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. FORCE - If a directory is specified, the directory is changed to the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. The directory name defined in the request is ignored. The file name is appended directly to the SEND_DIR parameter. ALLOW - If a directory is specified, the directory is used. If a directory is not defined, it is changed to the directory defined by the SEND_DIR parameter. REJECT - If a directory is specified on a Send, the file transfer terminate s with errors. Otherwise, data is processed from the SEND_DIR directory. NEVER - The NODE , USERID , or IPADDR cannot send a file. USE - The directory name specified in the file transfer request is used. If no directory name is defined in the file transfer request, the Windows default directory is used. |
RECEIVE_OPTION | Defines the options for receiving files. The valid values are as follows: ROOT - If a directory is specified, the directory is appended to the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. FORCE - If a directory is specified, the directory is changed to the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. The directory name defined in the request is ignored. The file name is appended directly to the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. ALLOW - If a directory is specified, the directory is used. If a directory is not defined, it is changed to the directory defined by the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. Note : By setting ALLOW , files can be written to directories other than that is defined in the RECEIVE_DIR parameter. If a relative path (directory without a slash in the beginning. For example, tmpdir\filename.txt) is used for a remote file name in the transaction coming in, MFT P latform S erver place s files in the current directory where platform server is executing if the user has access rights. This is the MFT P latform S erver System directory. REJECT - If a directory is specified on a Send, the file transfer terminate s with errors. Otherwise, data is processed from the RECEIVE_DIR directory. NEVER - The NODE or USERID cannot receive a file. USE - The directory name specified in the file transfer request is used. If no directory name is defined in the file transfer request, the Windows default directory is used. |
COMMAND_OPTION | Defines the options for executing commands. The valid values are as follows: ROOT - If a directory is specified, the directory is appended to the directory defined by the COMMAND_DIR parameter. NEVER - The NODE , USERID , or IPADDR cannot execute commands. USE - The directory name specified in the file transfer request is used. If no directory name is defined in the file transfer request, the Windows default directory is used. |
SUBMIT_OPTION | Defines the options for submitting jobs. The valid values are as follows: ALLOW - The user can submit jobs. NEVER - The NODE or USERID cannot receive a file. |
