Copy Memorized Transaction screen

A screen similar to the one shown above is used to copy Rules, Object Lists, Memorized Transactions, and Pre-filters.

How to Get There

  1. On the Navigation Pane, choose Memorized Transactions.
  2. Click the icon adjacent to the IP Address Group you would like to copy and choose Copy.

What it Does

Use the Copy screen to copy Rules (User/Location/Object), Object Lists, Memorized Transactions, and Pre-filters to one or more Endpoints.

NOTE:  To add Endpoints to your Exit Point Manager configuration, see Adding and Configuring Managed Systems.

Options

Server

A Server in Exit Point Manager is a controlled entry point into your system. These entry points are determined and defined by IBM. Exit Point Manager has assigned easy-to-remember names to these controlled entry points.

Function

A Function, or Server Function, in Exit Point Manager represents a class of operations that a given Server may perform. For example, the *SIGNON Server classifies its operations as those pertaining to changing passwords, generating authentication tokens, and retrieving sign-on information. Exit Point Manager has assigned easy-to-remember names to these Functions, such as CHGPWD, GENAUTTKN and RETRIEVE.

Type

Specifies whether this is a User or Location rule.

User
User represents the identity of the person initiating a transaction as a user profile. The special value *PUBLIC, when used on a rule, means that the rule applies to any User lacking a specific rule. When used as a subset or selection parameter, *PUBLIC means to select all such rules for display or printing. Specify the name of the User for the memorized transaction. You can create a memorized transaction that applies to all Users by specifying the special value *PUBLIC.
Location
Location represents the source of a transaction. Location can hold an IP Address, an IP Address Group or the name of an SNA Communications Device. The special value *ALL, when used on a rule, means that the rule applies to any rule means that the rule applies to any Location lacking a specific rule. when used as a subset or selection parameter, *ALL generally means to select all such rules for display or printing. Specify the Location for the memorized transaction. You can create a memorized transaction that applies to all Locations by specifying the special value *ALL.
ASP Group; Lookup

This is the name of an ASP Group. It is used in rule evaluation to determine if an object referenced in a transaction is the one specified on the object entries for this list.

Click Lookup to open the Select ASP Group screen where you can choose from the following ASP Groups:

*SYSBAS The Object List entries refer to those objects in *SYSBAS.

*ALL The Object List entries refer to those objects in any namespace.

User/User Group; Select

Choose this Lookup button to open the Users selection window where you can choose from a list of user profiles.

Transaction

The transaction data.

Status

This is the status of the Memorized Transaction.

Possible values are:

*ACTIVE
Exit Point Manager will attempt to match this transaction during rule enforcement. Memorized Transactions that are changed to *ACTIVE will have a matching User or Location rule changed to the corresponding action; *ALLOW to *MEMOS400, *REJECT to *MEMREJECT, or *SWITCH to *MEMSWITCH.
*INACTIVE
Exit Point Manager will not attempt to match this transaction during rule enforcement. Memorized Transactions that are changed to *INACTIVE will have the matching User or Location rule changed (if there are no other Memorized Transactions for that rule) to the corresponding action; *MEMOS400 to *ALLOW, *MEMREJECT to *REJECT, or *MEMSWITCH to *SWITCH.
Authority

Authority represents the action to be taken when a rule is found that matches the data present on a transaction.

Specify the Authority value for the new memorized transaction.

The list of valid values may include one or more of these values:

*USER Current user authority is used.
*0S400 Exit Point Manager will use normal operating system authority for the user.
*REJECT Exit Point Manager will reject requests.
*SWITCH Exit Point Manager will use the authority of the switch profile for the transaction. A switch profile entry is required.
*MEMUSR Memorized Transactions (MTR) are checked for authority first. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will use the authority of the current user.
*MEMOS400 Memorized Transactions (MTR) are checked for authority first. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will use normal operating system authority for the user.
*MEMREJECT Memorized Transactions (MTR) are checked for authority first. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will reject requests for the specified user.
*MEMSWITCH Memorized Transactions (MTR) are checked for authority first. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will use the authority of the switch profile for the specified user. A switch profile entry is required.
*MEMOBJ Memorized Transactions (MTR) are checked for authority first. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will check any objects used in the transactions for authorities defined by Object Rules.
*SERVER Exit Point Manager will use the authority defined for the Server.
*SRVFCN Exit Point Manager will use the authority defined for the Server Function.
Audit

The Audit flag controls the logging of transactions to the Log Journal set up on the work with Exit Point Manager System Values panel.

Specify one of these values for Audit:

*INHERIT Uses the value found in the rule above this one in the rule hierarchy.
*YES Logs all requests when this rule is enforced.
*NO Logs only access failures (rejects) for this rule.
Message

The Send messages flag controls the sending of messages to the Log Message Queue set up on the work with Exit Point Manager System Values panel.

Specify one of these values for Send messages:

*INHERIT Uses the value found in the rule above this one in the rule hierarchy.
*YES Sends a message when this rule is enforced.
*NO Does not send a message when this rule is enforced.
Capture

The Capture transactions flag controls whether transactions are remembered in Exit Point Manager for later memorization. Once captured, transactions can become Memorized Transactions which can act as rules.

Specify one of these values for Capture transactions:

*INHERIT Uses the value found in the rule above this one in the rule hierarchy.
*YES Captures the transaction when this rule is enforced.
*NO Does not capture the transaction when this rule is enforced.
