Function UM - User Maintenance (Administrator)

The UM function of the UUTIL utility is designed for use at a control terminal to:

  • Maintain user data;

  • Maintain the COM-PASS environment;

  • Display Com-plete user ID definitions;

  • Display active users of Com-plete.

    Com-plete definitions of users who are authorized to access Com-plete are stored on the so-called system data container and are referenced by the ULOG utility program each time a user attempts to log on to the Com-plete system. Each user definition contains the following information:

  • User ID;

  • Account number or group number for the user ID;

  • Password for the user ID; number of invalid password attempts since the last successful logon;

  • Authorization code for the user ID;

  • Control status to be given the user ID;

  • Sending and receiving class codes to be assigned to this user ID for sending and receiving messages and for printout spooling;

  • Date and time of the most recent ULOG ON session;

  • COM-PASS defaults and PF key settings.

When a terminal user is identified to the Com-plete system with the ULOG utility program, the information from the user ID data set is used to create a logon information block (see CCUIT in the Com-plete source). After logging on successfully, this information is used to create the user ID accounting block. Statistical information for the user ID is accumulated and maintained by using the user ID accounting block, which in turn is written to the SMF data set. Each user ID accounting block is purged from the Com-plete system when either the associated user logs off or Com-plete terminates.


User Maintenance Functions

After invoking this function from the UUTIL main menu, the user maintenance menu is displayed. This menu enables the definition, control, and maintenance functions to be performed:

Most operations provided speak for themselves. The numbers listed in theOperand field following each operation relate to the relevant operands for the function, which can be specified in the bottom half of the screen. in the bottom half of the screen.

Note:
If you are creating user profiles for the first time, you should consider defining the COM-PASS environment first. See the description of function CM (Maintain COM-PASS menu) below.

Creating a New User Profile

To add a new user, select the AD operation and supply the new user ID and optionally system ID. You can also specify an existing user ID in the copy fromfield. If no copy from user ID is specified, $MODLSTD is implicitly used. You can modify the $MODLSTD user definition to set defaults for all subsequent ADDrequests.

The following screen illustrates an example user definition screen:

Note:
From this screen, PF9 takes you straight to the third user definition screen, namely the menu program selection screen (see below).

Having completed your modifications, press PF5 to save the profile.

Meaning of the options:

Option Meaning
This is a Model User ID YES means that this user ID can ONLY be used to serve as a model definition for a logon via one of the Com-plete facilities that use model IDs (applymod 57, NSC link,...).This user ID cannot be specified on the ULOG ON screen.
Based on Model User ID Enter an existing model user ID (optional). If the user logs on, the model user's definitions are taken. The advantage of using this option is that to change the definitions of a user group based on the same model, only the model User Profile need be changed.
Control Status Specifies CONTROL (YES) or NONCONTROL (NO) status. Control status is required to enable usage of the "control user" utilities. Administrator status is attained through knowledge of the maintenance password.
Account number Specifies a 1 to 12 digit account code or group number to be assigned to the user ID.
Authorization code Specifies the authorization code to be be assigned to the specified user ID. Represents an integer from -32768 to +32767.
User Password Specifies the password to be assigned to this user ID. Note that if the password option is selected at Com-plete initialization time, this password must be entered along with the user ID in order to gain access to the Com-plete system.
Exempt from A value of "YES" indicates that this user is not subject to autologoff the inactivity value supplied through the AUTOLOGOFF sysparm value. The default value is "NO".
COM-PASS user This option acts as a "COM-PASS switch". You may decide not to let a user become a COM-PASS user until all definitions are complete. The Profile can be updated to make the user (or all users) a COM-PASS user in one operation.
Suspend n is a value from one to nine, indicating the number of programs this user can suspend. The default value for n is nine (9).
At logon time, n is compared to the STACKMAXIMUM sysparm value. The number of programs the user can suspend is n or the STACKMAXIMUM value, whichever is the smaller.
This feature is used to convert Com-plete from a non-COM-PASS production system to a COM-PASS production system.
Non-menu programs A value of "NO" indicates that this user can only access those programs that appear in his COM-PASS menu. "YES" indicates that he can also access programs that do not appear in his COM-PASS menu.
Startup program This option acts as a "startup switch". If the user is to be automatically supplied with a startup transaction after logon, enter the name of the transaction here. If the user is to receive the COM-PASS menu, specify USTACK.
Send Message Codes Specifies the authorization class code(s) to be assigned to this user ID for sending messages and printout spooling. Authorization class code 4 (used for Com-plete messages) is always assigned even if not specified. The authorization class codes are fully described in the section UM - Message Switching/Printout Spooling Utility.
Receive Message Codes Specifies the authorization class code(s) to be assigned to this user ID for receiving messages and printout spooling.
The authorization class codes are full described in the section UM - Message Switching/Printout Spooling Utility.
If RMC=(0), this user ID is not allowed to receive messages or printouts.
If SMC=(0), this user ID is not allowed to send messages or printouts.

When all the User Profile information has been entered, saved the profile by pressing PF5 until you see the message User userid successfully added.

Updating a User Profile

Existing User Profiles can be updated. Select function UA with a user ID to update a single user definition, or specify Y in the selection field to select a group of users according to the displayed criteria. The user definitions are then presented one by one.

Deleting a User Profile

Redundant user profiles can be deleted using option DE from the user ID maintenance menu. After the profile to be deleted is selected, the profile is displayed and you are asked to verify that the profile is to be deleted.

Locking/Unlocking Users

A user or group of users can be locked and subsequently unlocked from using Com-plete, for example, while maintenance is being carried out or while the user is away from the installation for a long period of time.

Select option LO/UN from the user ID maintenance menu to do this. You can specify a specific user ID, or specify Y in the selection field to lock/unlock all users belonging to a particular account.

Displaying Profiles and Users

The DS option enables individual User Profiles to be displayed and updated. The DI option enables all defined users (or selected groups) to be displayed. The DA option enables all active users (or selected groups) to be displayed. Specify Y in the selection field to specify selection criteria for the DI and DA functions.

Selection Criteria

Option Meaning
Control User (Y/N) See Control Status in the overview of options above.
Account number See the overview of options above.
Authorization code See the overview of options above.
Startup/Current program See Startup Program in the the overview of options above.

Marked for Delete Records with this flag are leftovers from COM45 where only a logical delete was possible.
Last Logon before Refers to the Last Logon date saved during ULOG ON processing.

Note:
The selected records include those without a Last-Logon date.

Read all USERDEF records Besides the UserIDs added using UUTIL UM, there are other records added internally , e.g. if you assign models in ULOGX1 or by setting Applymod 57.
Show selected records N: the records agreeing with the other selection criteria are deleted.
Y: the selected records are shown one by one and you can decide if you really want to delete it or not.

Some of these options are not available for all functions.

Maintenance Password

You can change the maintenance password using option MA from the user ID maintenance menu.

Maintain COM-PASS Menu

The CM function allows you to set up the COM-PASS environment, which you can subsequently tailor for each User Profile or group of User Profiles (functions AD, UP, UA).

Note:
User-specific modifications (link/unlink) will be active after a re-logon.

You can define the program names and program descriptions to appear on the COM-PASS menu, a one-letter ID to be associated with each program, the menu page, as well as the conditions under which the program is to appear. Additionally, you can link or unlink specific menu lines to user IDs.

The COM-PASS menu definition function operates in two modes:

  • PROGRAM mode, used to define the program names to appear on the user's COM-PASS menu

  • TEXT mode, meaning there is only ONE set of program names, the program descriptions can be added in various languages, temporarily activated using the LANG command from COM-PASS, or perrmanently set for the user by the administrator using the UM UP function. The user can modify the language using UUTIL function UD.

When you select the CM option, the COM-PASS menu screen is displayed:
