Define a resource profile in MFADEF class

You define IBM® MFA factors by creating a general resource profile for the factor name in the MFADEF class. To define multiple instances of a factor, use RDEFINE to create a resource profile named FACTOR.FACTOR-NAMEsuffix in the MFADEF class.

About this task

FACTOR.FACTOR-NAME requires a valid factor name, such as AZFSIDP1. The appended suffix is a factor instance name of your choice of up to 12 characters. It can contain only A-Z, 0-9, '#', '$', and '@' characters. See Enable Dynamic Instance Name for additional considerations.
Note: The factor instance names do not need to be contiguous. For example, AZFSFNP1$EAST, AZFSFNP1$WEST, and AZFSFNP1$EMERGENCY would be valid.

Procedure

  1. Define the profile in the MFADEF class:
    RDEF MFADEF FACTOR.FACTOR_NAMEsuffix
    For example:
    RDEF MFADEF FACTOR.FACTOR_NAME#2
  2. Refresh the MFADEF class:
    SETROPTS RACLIST(MFADEF) REFRESH
  3. Verify the change. For example:
    RLIST MFADEF FACTOR.FACTOR_NAMEsuffix
