3 ASOCTBL
The ASOCTBL utility lets users with SM or OP capability distribute operator commands
for specific devices to other system users. It creates an association table in
ASOCIATE.PUB.SYS, where the users are identified with the device classes that they may
associate.
Once a user is included in the association table, he or she can use the ASSOCIATE command
to gain access to the corresponding device class. While a device class is under a user's
control, status messages for the devices in that class appear on the user's $STDLIST device,
and not on the system console. That user continues to have exclusive access to the operator
commands that control that device until the user terminates the association by logging off
or by issuing the DISASSOCIATE command.
Operation
To invoke ASOCTBL enter:
ASOCTBL
or
RUN ASOCTBL.PUB.SYS
The system responds with a > prompt and you should enter the following:
>
devclass = username.acctname
Parameters
devclass The name of a logical device class configured with SYSGEN
or NMMGR. When you specify a device class, all devices
assigned to that class are affected by the ASSOCIATE
command.
username The name assigned to the user by the Account Manager. It
must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alphabetic character. The
username
parameter may be replaced by @ to indicate all users. For
example,
@.acctname enables all users in the specified
account.
