Getting Started with Exit Point Manager

Before installing Exit Point Manager, refer to the Exit Point Manager Release Notes to learn about the latest updates.

NOTE: The Powertech installation procedure creates libraries, profiles, authorization lists, commands, objects, and, in some cases, exit points on your system. Changing the configuration of any of these installed application components may result in product failure.

Installation and Activation Introduction

Installation and activation are two separate processes. First, the installation process installs Exit Point Manager on your IBM i system. The second process, activation, activates the Exit Point Manager exit programs. If you install the software, but do not complete the activation process, Exit Point Manager protection and auditing are not active. However, after you have completed both processes, Exit Point Manager can actively audit and secure your network traffic. You can install Exit Point Manager at any time, but activation requires planning and scheduling.

See Installing or Updating Exit Point Manager 7 (v7.04 and higher) on the HelpSystems website for installation and update instructions.

NOTE: Powertech Exit Point Manager makes two changes to your network attributes during exit program activation. These modifications are necessary so the operating system is aware of the exit programs that have been assigned to the IBM exit points.
