CFACCESS Parameter Configuration

The CFACCESS configuration parameters are defined in the platform server JCL DD statement CFACCESS. The platform server SAMPLIB member CFACCESS shows a sample of the platform server CFACCESS configuration.

The CFACCESS configuration file is processed until a match is found, and that only one entry is processed even if there are multiple entries that match. The CFACCESS processing is performed after the platform server responder profile processing. Therefore, the user ID defined is the actual z/OS user ID used by the platform server.

When defining CFACCESS configuration parameters, you have comply with the following rules for continuation and comments .
  • Parameters can be entered on a single line or on multiple lines, and are delimited by a comma.
  • If a space follows the comma, the parameter continues on the next line. If there is a space in the parameter, you must enclose the space in double quotation marks.
  • Comments are defined by placing an asterisk (*) in column 1.
In the following example, each parameter except the last one ends with a comma. By not putting a comma in the last parameter, the entry is completed. 
USERID=”DEFAULT”,
NODE=NODEA,
SEND_HLQ=”c:\temp\”,
SEND_OPTION=ROOT,
RECEIVE_OPTION=NEVER
Is the same as: 
USERID=DEFAULT,NODE=NODEA,SEND_DIR=c:\temp\,SEND_OPTION=ROOT,RECEIVE_OPTION=NEVER
