Change Server Function Rule panel

The Change Server Function Rule panel allows you to change one or more of the properties for a selected server. To change a server property, type over the existing value and press Enter. Server Function Rules provide processing control to Powertech's exit programs and also act as defaults for server function values.

How to get there

From the Network Security Main Menu, select option 1, Work with Security by Server. Under the Options column, type SP for a server and press Enter to access the Change Server Function Rule panel.

You can enter the following values in the Change Server Function Rule panel. The server name and description display at the top of the window and cannot be changed.

Network Security rules enforced?

The Powertech rules defined for this server are enforced. (This value is referenced under the "Rules Active" column in the Work with Security by Server panel. This value is referenced under the "Rules Active" column of the Product Configuration panel in the Insite web UI.)

Possible values are:

Y Enter Y to activate the Powertech rules defined for this server.
N Enter N if you don't want to activate the Powertech rules for this server.

Possible values are:

*SYSTEM Use the authority defined for the system.
*OS400 Allow the transaction without taking any action.
*REJECT Reject all requests for the transaction.
*SWITCH Switch the job to run as the user profile specified in the switch profile field. A switch profile entry is required.
*MEMOS400 Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is found, allow the transaction.
*MEMREJECT Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is found, reject requests for the server.
*MEMSWITCH Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is found, use the authority of the switch profile for the server. A switch profile entry is required.
*MEMOBJ Check Memorized Transactions (MTR) for authority. If no MTR authority is found, check the transaction against the object rules.
