Managing System Access With Account and Group Attributes
Account and group attributes that relate to system access include:
* Limiting the amount of CPU time available to users. This can be
set at the account and group levels.
* Limiting the amount of session connect time available. This can
be set at the account and group levels.
Limiting CPU or session connect time provides some degree of control over
system utilization and, therefore, system performance.
Controlling Account and Group CPU Time Limits
The amount of time, in seconds, users can access the CPU is set with the
CPU= parameter of the :NEWACCT, :ALTACCT, :NEWGROUP, and :ALTGROUP
commands. The default is unlimited time.
For example, a System Manager can set the CPU time for all users in an
account to one hour by entering:
:ALTACCT ACCOUNTS;CPU=3600
Controlling Account and Group Connect Time
The amount of time a session can remain connected is set with the
CONNECT= parameter of the :NEWACCT, :ALTACCT, :NEWGROUP, and :ALTGROUP
commands. The time is set in minutes. Default is unlimited time.
For example, an Account Manager can set the connect time for all users in
an existing account to two hours by logging on to the account and
entering:
:ALTGROUP RCVBLS;CONNECT=120
