The work with Captured Transactions panel allows you to memorize, display, or delete Captured Transactions.
How to get there
On the Main Menu, select option 10.
Options
You can select from the following options on the Work with Captured Transactions panel.
1=Memorize
Enter a 1 in the Opt column to memorize a transaction. When you select to memorize a transaction, Network security performs an exact string match against the incoming transaction.
When you select a transaction to memorize, the Memorize Captured Transaction panel displays allowing you to specify the parameters for the memorized transaction. See also Working with Memorizing Transactions.
4=Delete
Enter option 4 next to a transaction to delete a captured transaction.
5=Display
Enter option 5 next to a transaction to display the Display Captured Transaction panel.
The Display Captured Transaction panel shows the properties for the captured transaction, including the Server, Function, User name, Location, Count (how many times this transaction has occurred), First Collected (the date and time when a transaction was first summarized into this record), Last Collected (the date and time when a transaction was last summarized into this record), and the type of action performed by Network Security for the transactions summarized into this record. The actual transaction string also displays.
Field Descriptions
The Display Captured Transaction panel allows you to change some of the values for the captured transaction to fine tune it to your specification before you memorize it.
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.
Server
A Server in Network Security is a controlled entry point into your system. These entry points are determined and defined by IBM. Network Security has assigned easy-to-remember names to these controlled entry points.
Function
A Function, or Server Function, in Network Security 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. Network Security has assigned easy-to-remember names to these Functions, such as CHGPWD, GENAUTTKN and RETRIEVE.
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. This is the User that initiated the transaction.
Count
The number of times this exact transaction has been captured.
Transaction
This is the data handed to Network Security 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 (-).
