CDLOG

Purpose

The CDLOG control file entry applies to base AON functions.

The CDLOG control file entry defines which domains are displayed on the cross-domain logon (CDLOG) panel. Through the CDLOG component, you can log on to all or a select group of domains that are known to your domain. The CDLOG interface lets you select which domains you want. The CDLOG control file entry is optional. If you do not define CDLOG control file entries all domains known to NetView® are shown on the CDLOG panel. If you define CDLOG control file entries, only the domains defined are displayed on the CDLOG panel.

If you are running AON/TCP across multiple domains, define RMTCMD sessions for each GATOPER with CDLOG definitions.

Syntax

CDLOG

operid

ID of the NetView user initiating CDLOG.

domainid

Target NetView domain to which session is to be established.

SESSTYPE

Identifies the type of session.

NNT: NetView-to-NetView task session (LU1).
RMT: NetView RMTCMD session (LU 6.2).

TARGOP

Target NetView operator to log on. Optional. If not specified, it defaults to the operator issuing the CDLOG command.

TARGPW

Password to use during session logon. The default is PROMPT.

PROMPT: Prompt the operator for a password when establishing the session.
pswd: The password specified in this variable is used.
Note: Information on password checking can be found in IBM® Tivoli® NetView for z/OS® Installation: Configuring Additional Components.

INIT

Identifies the session to be started when the NetView operator (operid) logs on or when requested through the AON operator interface.

Y: Automatically logon the cross domain session when operid is logged on.
N: Let the operator choose which sessions to establish through the CDLOG command. NO is the default.

DESC

User text to identify the session.

Usage notes

Separate each parameter by a comma and follow all control file entry guidelines. To use CDLOG to log on to cross-domains, remove all DSI809A statements from CNMCMD. NetView operators who want to start NNT sessions without using CDLOG, receive the following message:
```
  DSI809A PLEASE ROUTE OPID,PSWD,PROFILE,HARDCOPY,INITIAL CMD (optional:
          ,NEW PSWD, NEW PSWD)
```
Operators must route the appropriate information to continue the logon. RMTCMD sessions are not affected by DSI809A.
Before coding TARGPW, use a security product to protect operator passwords. Protect the EZLCFG, DSPCFG, and BROWSE commands. Code RRD statements in the CNMSTUSR or CxxSTGEN member for cross-domain logon. It is not necessary to define RMTCMD sessions in the CNMSTUSR or CxxSTGEN member. For information about changing CNMSTYLE statements, see IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Installation: Getting Started.
Include CDLOG definitions for operators who are responsible for automating resources in domains other than their own. For example, the SNA Help Desk route activates commands over the operator's CDLOG session.

Examples

In the following example, a minimum CDLOG entry establishes a session between CNM01 and CNM1A for operator OPER1.

CDLOG OPER1.CNM1A,SESSTYPE=RMT

The CDLOG entry has the following default values:

INIT=NO: Does not establishes the cross-domain session when OPER1 logs on to CNM01.
TARGOP: Logs on OPER1 in domain CNM1A.
TARGPW: Ignores password entry because this is a RMTCMD session.
DESC: Does not display user text on the CDLOG panel.
