How To Create VSE/POWER Views.

Introduction:

You can create POWER views with varying degrees of access restrictions. There are three categories, or types, of POWER Views: Shell, Queue and Class.

1) Shell Views:       Grant access to all (i.e., RDR, LST and PUN) queues.
2) Queue Views:     Grant access to a single queue such as RDR, PUN or LST.
3) Class Views:       Grant access to a single class in LST or PUN queues.

POWER CLass Views:

The Class View grants access to one Class in LST or PUN queues. Notice that the server does not associate "class properties" to the RDR queue. Therefore, the class view is meaningless with the RDR queue.

To create a Class View, you must code TGT_FILE statement as follows:

TGT_FILE = Q=LST|PUN,C=class where class is a single letter (A thru Z) or digit (0 thru 9).

The Following example grants access to class Z in LST queue:

POWER Queue Views:

The POWER Queue View grants access to a single POWER queue (i.e., LST, PUN or RDR).

To create a POWER Queue View, you must code TGT_FILE statement as follows:

TGT_FILE = Q=LST grants access to LST queue or
TGT_FILE = Q=PUN grants access to PUN queue or
TGT_FILE = Q=RDR grants access to RDR queue.

Here is an example:

POWER Shell Views:

The POWER Shell View grants access to all POWER queues (LST, PUN and RDR). Therefore, access to this view should be granted only to trusted users, if at all.

To create a POWER Shell View, you must omit TGT_FILE statement. Here is an example:

XFER = BEGIN
      TYPE            = RCV                     * Code as shown.
      TGT_AM       = SAM                    * Code as shown..
      TGT_TYPE   = POWER               * Code as shown.
      TGT_DISP    = H                          * default disposition.
*    other optional CTL_FTPC statements.
XFER = END

Required Statements:

The following statements must be coded in all POWER view types:

TYPE = RCV
TGT_AM    = SAM
TGT_TYPE = POWER
TGT_Disposition = d   where d is the default disp (needed if you want to upload to LST or PUN).
CTL_FTPC statements (optional). Please see                                for more details.

XFER = BEGIN
      TYPE            = RCV                     * Code as shown.
      TGT_AM       = SAM                    * Code as shown..
      TGT_TYPE   = POWER               * Code as shown.
      TGT_DISP    = H                          * default disposition.
      TGT_FILE    = Q=LST                  * only LST queue.
*    other optional CTL_FTPC statements.
XFER = END

XFER = BEGIN
      TYPE            = RCV                     * Code as shown.
      TGT_AM       = SAM                    * Code as shown..
      TGT_TYPE   = POWER               * Code as shown.
      TGT_DISP    = H                          * default disposition.
      TGT_FILE    = Q=LST,C=Z         * class Z in LST
*    other optional CTL_FTPC statements.
XFER = END
