Reporting Access Attempts by Location

You can generate reports based on access attempts by location. Exit Point Manager refers to IP addresses and SNA device names as locations. Some servers, like FTP, send client IP address information to Exit Point Manager. Others can send IP address or SNA name information.

However, not all server programs communicate location information. The location reports allow you to see information on your servers that do provide location information.

To create a report based on user access attempts

  1. On the Reports menu, select option 2 to display the Location Report Menu where you can select the type of report to run.
  2. You can select to run a report for all locations (options 1-3), or for a specific location (options 4-6). You also can select the types of transactions to include in the report: all transactions, allowed transactions only, or rejected transactions only.
  3. To run a report, select an option to display the entry screen for the report type.

You can enter your selection criteria for the report, including:

From date/time • To date/time

The date range you want to include in the report.

Detail, transaction, or summary (D/T/S)

The level of detail to include in the report, from most detailed (transaction) to least detailed (summary).

Output type

The output type of the report. Possible values are:

*PRINT The report is sent to the specified print queue.
*OUTFILE The report is sent to a file. You must specify the file name and library for the report.
*IFS The report is placed in the IFS. You must specify the report name.
File/Library/Member

The file name for the report, and the library for the file. Enter Y to create the report or N to not create a report. You also can specify if you want to add (A) to the file member, or replace (R) the existing member.

IFS report name
NOTE: If you selected to create a report for a specific location (options 4-6), you're also asked to enter the location, which can be an SNA device name, an IP address, or an IP address group. Generic IP addresses (for example, 192.168.1*.*) also are supported. When you enter a generic IP address, Exit Point Manager reports transactions for any IP address that starts with the characters before the asterisk (*).

If you specified *IFS as the output type, enter a name for the report.
