Reporting Access Attempts by Server / Function

Some of the network servers (such as FTP and Telnet) audited and controlled by Exit Point Manager have several functions that you can perform. For example, when you request the FTP GET subcommand, the FTP server runs the SENDFILE internal function. (See Appendix A for a list of all servers and functions that Exit Point Manager can audit and control.)

To create reports based on attempts to access an individual server, or server/function combination

  1. Select option 3 on the Reports Menu to display the Server Function Report Menu.

    The Server Function reporting option in Exit Point Manager sorts the Journal by Server/Function and allows you to select a Specific Server and a Specific Function. Date range and type of transactions to be viewed can also be specified to narrow or expand the report to your specific requirements.

    You can select to run a report for all servers and all functions (options 1-3), for all functions on a specific server (options 4-6), or for a specified function on a server (options 7-9). You also can select the types of transactions to include in the report: all transactions, allowed transactions only, or rejected transactions only.

  2. 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 server (options 4-6) or a specific function on a server (options 7-9), you're also asked to enter the server/function names.

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