Authorize AutoSYNC

Authorize AutoSYNC

To perform scheduled synchronizations, the ASYSYNCP process must be granted the
correct access rights. Authorization is the operation that confers these rights by
designating a user ID as the Authorizer. Only users that are “under” the Authorizer can
schedule synchronizations. See

The AutoSYNC Authorizer

on page 4-2 for details.

By default, the Authorizer is the user ID of the monitor process.

To designate the Authorizer explicitly, log on as the desired user ID and use the

AUTHORIZE

command. The command sets the ownership of the ASYSYNCP process

to the Authorizer through the PROGID file attribute.

If system security is set such that the Authorizer cannot log down to another user ID,
the following options are available:

1. Configure all scheduled synchronizations with the same user id as the AutoSYNC

Authorizer. All other users must request one-time synchronizations.

2. Configure multiple AutoSYNC environments, each with its own MAPDB and

monitor process. Configure each environment to have a different Authorizer, either
by starting the monitor process with a different user ID or by using the
AUTHORIZE command. Then, each user can use the AutoSYNC environment
which corresponds to that user ID.

3. Enable AutoSYNC to operate in a privileged mode. This is the simplest method,

but requires a privileged ASYSYNCP object file. To use this method, follow the
instructions described below in

Special Cases: Licensed Synchronization

Processes

on page 2-10.

Update the System Coldload and Shutdown Procedures

The monitor process is started after TMF has been started and before any file
synchronization is attempted. It is advisable to incorporate starting the monitor process
with the other operational steps that normally follow a system cold load. The monitor is
started by the

START MONITOR

command. The user ID that starts the monitor

process must have read access to the SysDB and MapDB tables. The user ID that
starts the monitor process may also be the AutoSYNC authorizer; consult

The

AutoSYNC Authorizer

on page 4-2. If the syncusers were suspended prior to shutting

down AutoSYNC, as recommended below in

Shutting Down AutoSYNC

, you will need

to add a step to activate the syncusers using the

ACTIVATE SYNCUSER

command.

Update the shutdown procedures to include the shut down steps described below in

Shutting Down AutoSYNC

.

Install the AutoSYNC EMS templates

The AutoSYNC EMS templates are in the file ZASYTMPL. Please refer to the HP EMS
template installation instructions to perform this step.
