Task info

Notes:

  1. To load the access groups and access control policies, you need to run the following related utilities in this sequence:

    1. acugload (loads the user access group definitions)

    2. acpload (loads the main access control policy)

    3. acpnlsload (loads the display names and descriptions)

  2. If we create customized XML files, you need to copy them into the following directory to have them loaded into the databases.

  3. When creating a custom policy, do not alter the ACUserGroups_ locale.xml file. Use this file as a reference to see the structure when creating our custom policy.


Procedure

  1. Copy our customized access control policy files to the following directory:

      If the user does not have the required authority, you need to grant this authority using the chmod command.

  3. From the (Linux) utilities_root/bin or

    (Developer) WCDE_installdir\bin directory, type the following:
