How to Get There
From the Security Configuration Menu, select option 7. On the Work with Memorized Transactions panel, enter option 5 next to a Memorized Transaction.
What it Does
The Display Memorized Transaction panel enables you to display a memorized transaction.
Options
System
System indicates the target of any operations you perform. When you add rules, for example, those rules will be sent to, and will affect processing on, the System named.
ASP Group
When a memorized transaction is evaluated, this ASP Group name will be compared to the current ASP Group name of the job issuing the transaction. These need to be the same (or this must be set to the special value *ALL) for this memorized transaction to be considered a match.
Server
A Server in Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i is a controlled entry point into your system. These entry points are determined and defined by IBM. Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i has assigned easy-to-remember names to these controlled entry points.
Function
A Function, or Server Function, in Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i 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. Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i has assigned easy-to-remember names to these Functions, such as CHGPWD, GENAUTTKN and RETRIEVE. This field cannot be changed.
The special values are:
User Type
This field is used to indicate whether the associated User field refers to an O/S user profile or an Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i User Group.
The valid values are:
User
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.
The special value is:
Location
Location represents the source of a transaction. Location can hold an IP Address, a Location 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 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.
The special value is:
Authority
Authority represents the action to be taken when a rule is found that matches the data present on a transaction.
The list of valid values may include one or more of these values:
Audit
The Audit flag controls the logging of transactions to the Log Journal set up on the work with Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i System Values panel. Specify one of these values for Audit transactions:
Message
The Message flag controls the sending of messages to the Log Message Queue set up on the work with Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i System Values panel.
Specify one of these values for Message:
Capture
The Capture flag controls whether transactions are remembered in Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i for later memorization. Once captured, transactions can become Memorized Transactions, which can act as rules. Specify one of these values for Capture:
Switch Profile
The Switch profile entry 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. This field may hold the special value *NONE in which case no Switch profile will be used.
Status
This is the status of the Memorized Transaction.
The possible values are:
Transaction
The Memorized Transaction against which incoming transactions are tested. If a match is found, then this rule will be invoked. 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.
