Memorize Captured Transaction

Memorized Captured Transaction panel

How to Get There

On the Main Menu, select option 10. Then, in the Work with Captured Transactions panel, enter a 1 in the Opt column next to the transaction you want to memorize and press Enter.

What it Does

The Memorize Captured Transaction panel enables you to memorize a captured transaction and specify the Authority that should be used whenever this transaction is processed in the future.

Field Descriptions

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.

User Type (USERTYPE)

Specifies whether the user field is a user profile or a Exit Point Manager User Group.

Allowed values are:

U The user field is a user profile.
G The user field is a Exit Point Manager User Group
User

If the associated User Type is a 'U', 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.

If the associated User Type is a 'G', User represents a Exit Point Manager User Group.

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 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 to which this rule applies. Special values are:

*ALL The rule will apply to all Locations.
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 rule. You can press F4 to see a list of valid values that can be specified. 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.
*MEMOS40O 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 Transactions

The Audit transactions 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 transactions:

*DEFAULT 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.
Send messages

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:

*DEFAULT 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 transactions
Capture Transactions

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:

*DEFAULT 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.
Switch profile

The Switch profile holds the name of a user profile whose authority is used to process the transaction instead of the authority of the User initiating the transaction. The transaction is executed as, and uses the authority of, this Switch profile.

The job that processes the transaction continues to run under this switch profile until Exit Point Manager processes another transaction request for that job.

Switch profile is allowed only when Authority contains *SWITCH or *MEMSWITCH, if *MEMSWITCH is allowed. Otherwise it must contain *NONE.

Specify the new Switch profile value or one of these special values:

*SAME The Switch profile value on the rule will not be changed.
*NONE No Switch profile is to be used. This is the only value allowed unless you have specified *SWITCH or *MEMSWITCH for Authority.
*SRVFCN Use the Switch profile specified for the Server Function.
Transaction

This is the data handed to Exit Point Manager by the operating system. Much of this transaction data is binary in nature and may not be human—readable. Undisplayable characters in the transaction data are replaced by the mid—dot character (-). You can use the Transaction wildcard character (%) to make a Transaction generic. The wildcard character is valid only at the end of a Transaction string. when you are memorizing or changing a Memorized Transaction, the first occurrence of the wildcard character that was NOT present in the string before you changed it will make the string generic and all data after that wildcard character will be discarded.
