Edit Server Function Rule screen

How to Get There

Click the Product Configuration tab on the navigation pane on the left side of the Insite window. In the Product Configuration window, click a server. This screen opens with *ALL appended to the title, indicating the settings apply to all server functions.

Alternatively, in the Product Configuration screen, click to display a server's functions, then click a function to display settings specific to that function.

What it Does

The Edit Server Function Rule screen is used to maintain the server function's properties. Server function options provide processing control to Powertech's exit programs. They also act as defaults for location, user, and memorized transaction request level values.

Field Descriptions

Server

The server ID is the name of the server that options are being specified for.

Function

The function is the name of the function for a server that options are being specified for.

Function Description

The description of the server function whose options are being displayed.

Options

Supplemental Exit Program Name and Library

The name and library of the supplemental exit program for the selected server. Supplemental exit programs are executed after Exit Point Manager has processed the server transaction.

The default value for both the Supplemental Exit Program Name and the Supplemental Exit Program Library field is *NONE.

Authority

The authority assigned to the server function. The value entered here is used when *SRVFCN authority is placed on a location, user, or memorized transaction request.

*REJECT Reject all requests to the server.
*SWITCH Use the authority of the switch profile for the server. A switch profile entry is required.
*MEMOS400 Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will use normal IBM i authority for the server.
*MEMREJECT Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will reject requests for the server.
*MEMSWITCH Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will use the authority of the switch profile for the server. A switch profile entry is required.
*MEMOBJ Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is encountered, Exit Point Manager will check the transaction against the Object Rules.
