Resource naming convention
Class name
The default security class for resources in windows mode is $BBM. By default, $BBM is transformed (by use of a NEXT statement) to external resource class FACILITY, which is a predefined class for ACF2, TSS, and RACF.
For information about using a class other than FACILITY, see Class-definitions.
Entity names
All BMC AMI Ops resources in windows mode (such as view data and actions) have a defined resource entity name.
BMC AMI Ops resource entity names consist of multiple qualifiers separated by periods, similar to data set names. The format of a resource entity name is:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
BBM | Is the prefix for all BMC AMI Ops resources |
product | Is the ID of the product or service point that is in control of the window where the resource is being accessed For a list of product IDs, see Product IDs for resource entity names in windows mode. |
context | Is the context that is set in the window where the resource is being accessed |
internalID | Is the internal ID of the data table or action that is being accessed |
suffix | Indicates the type of resource that is being accessed For a list of resource entity name suffixes, see Suffixes for resource entity names in windows mode. |
The following lists of BMC AMI Ops product IDs that can be part of a resource entity name.

The following lists of the resource suffixes that can be part of a resource entity name.
Suffixes for resource entity names in windows mode
Suffix | Resource type |
|---|---|
AA | Any action for a given product |
AO | Any action on the current table of data |
CN | Connection to a CAS, which provides access to the BMC AMI Ops environment |
OA | Any action on an object in a table, such as a row of data |
OD | Table data and the views that display the data |
PA | Any product-level (or primary) action |
PF | A product-level function |
PS | A product-level service or agent activity |
TA | Access to a target context, which controls access to a product from the BMC AMI Ops Selection Menu |
TC | Creation of a target context, which allows an address space to define itself as a product |
TH | Setting of global thresholds |
TS | Granting of trusted status to a PAS for inheriting a security environment |
XA | Access to a target context, which controls access to a product from the requestor side |
Products that run in windows mode generally have from one to five default resource entity definitions. All other resource entity definitions inherit their characteristics from these defaults. This structure makes it easy to manage a large number of resource entities without having to modify each definition individually.
The default resource entity definitions are shown in following table.
Default resource entity definitions for products in windows mode
Resource name | Resource entity definition |
|---|---|
Default - Table Data | BBM.product.targetid.tableid.OD |
Default - Any Table Actions | BBM.product.targetid.tableid.AO |
Default - Primary Actions (All Views) | BBM.product.targetid.actionid.PA |
Default - Specific Table Actions | BBM.product.targetid.tableid.actionid.OA |
Any Action (Product Views) | BBM.product.targetid.AA |
Default - Alter Data Set | dsname |
