Field Descriptions

The following describes the parameters and allowable values for each field on the Work with System Values screen.

Name

Indicates you are viewing Product Defaults.

Log Journal

This is the library/name of the journal that Powertech Exit Point Manager will log information. You can control the level of detail with the audit flag when you specify location and user authorities. Most installations will specify QSYS/QUADJRN.

The Log Journal Library specifies the library where the log journal is located.

Notes:

  1. You also can specify *NONE in the Log Journal Name field. However, if a journal name of *NONE is found in the Exit Point Manager system values, network transactions are not journaled.
  2. Some versions of Powertech Compliance Monitor expect Exit Point Manager audit entries to be written to QSYS/QAUDJRN. Contact Powertech technical support if you need further information concerning log journal entries.

This is the library/name of the message queue, where Powertech Exit Point Manager sends messages. Messages are sent to this queue when specified on location and user authority records. Most installations specify QSYS/QSYSOPR.

NOTE: To access reporting functions, administrators must be authorized to the PTNSRPT authorization list.

Once authorized to the PTADMIN and PTNSRPT authorization lists, the administrator has all the authorities needed to administer Powertech Exit Point Manager. Product administrators have *CHANGE authority to Exit Point Manager data and *USE authority to Exit Point Manager programs.

NOTE: Users set to the *SECOFR User Class do not need to be members of the PTADMIN or PTNSRPT authorizations lists to use Exit Point Manager or Exit Point Manager Reports.
