CFALIAS Example

This section provides you a sample of CFALIAS configuration.

Take the following CFALIAS configuration for example. 
USERID=ACCTUSER,                       
   NODE=NYNODE,
   TYPE=SEND,                         
   ALIAS=MONTHLY,                     
   FILE=NYUSER.ACCT.MONTHLY.DATA      
                                      
USERID=ACCTUSER,                       
   NODE=NYNODE,                        
   ALLOW=NO                           
                                      
 USERID=DEFAULT,                      
   ALLOW=YES

When a file transfer request comes in from user ACCTUSER, node NYNODE, on a send request and the file name entered is MONTHLY, a match is found on the first entry. The file name MONTHLY is changed to the actual file name NYUSER.ACCT.MONTHLY.DATA.

The second entry indicates that if any other requests come in from user ACCTUSER on node NYNODE, the request is rejected.

The third entry allows all other users to enter actual file names. This means that no CFALIAS checking is performed on any file transfer except for user ACCTUSER and node NYNODE.
