Generate Requests Only

Generate request XML that is used to make security requests to IRRSMO00.

 

Changes made using the functionality described here are scoped to the target “Admin” object instance.

 

Generate Requests Only mode can be enabled on any “Admin” object by setting the generate_requests_only class attribute to True through the class constructor. When enabled, IRRSMO00 request XML will be generated and returned to the user in the form of a bytes object without attempting to make a request to IRRSMO00.

Example

Python REPL

>>> from pyracf import UserAdmin
>>> user_admin = UserAdmin(generate_requests_only=True)
>>> user_admin.add_class_authorizations("squidwrd", ["terminal", "xfacilit"])
b'<securityrequest xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/systems/zos/saf" xmlns:racf="http://www.ibm.com/systems/zos/racf"><user name="squidwrd" operation="set" requestid="UserRequest"><base><racf:clauth operation="add">terminal xfacilit</racf:clauth></base></user></securityrequest>'
