It looks at it in addition, either before or after (still getting the facts) going through the normal ACF2 validation process.
Evidently to avoid the huge SAF call overhead of 1000's of SAF calls when 1000's of users all try to sign on at the same time and each one needs to be verified access to 100's of applications. This would generate 1000's of SAF calls. The overhead would be prohibitive. So they created a workaround by putting the applications each user can access into a batch file which the NETMENU session manager will access once per user to validate the applications a particular user can access. It is a non-SAF ancillary not a substitute process wrt ACF2. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)

Do you mean that NETMEMU only looks at the side file when using ACF2? If so, why? If not, what do you mean? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
