How to Get There
From the Active Analytics Menu, select option 2. On the Work with Captured Transactions panel, enter option 1 next to the transaction you want to memorize.
What it Does
The Memorize 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
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
This is the name of the ASP group to which the job was set when the transaction was captured.
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.
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
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 an Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i User Group.
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 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.
Authority
The authority assigned to the user for this server/function. If authority is left blank, Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i will remove the user's entry.
The possible values are:
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.
The valid values are:
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.
The valid values are:
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.
The valid values are:
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.
Request
This is the data handed to Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i 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.
