Location Rule Derivation

How to Get There

On the Work with Security by Location panel, choose 5 for a Location Rule.

What it Does

The Powertech Location Rule Derivation panel displays the hierarchical inheritance of the current Location rule.

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.

Server

The server to which the current rule applies.

Function

The name of the IBM server function to which the current rule applies.

Level

The Level column indicates from which inheritance level the specific values listed are derived.

The last entry in the Rule Derivation section is the level from which the Location Rule Display was requested. For example, if this display were requested from "Work with Authorities by Location", the last level would represent a location.

Valid values are:

System The system values level.
Server The server level.
Function The server function level.
*ALL The location level for all locations.
Authority

The authority assigned to the user for this rule.

Switch

The Switch profile 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.

Switch profile is allowed only when Authority contains *SWITCH or *MEMSWITCH, if *MEMSWITCH is allowed. Otherwise it must contain *NONE.

Audit

The audit property controls the type of requests Network Security will log.

Possible values are:

Y Log all requests by the location/server/function.
N Only log authority failures for the location/server/function.
* Use the audit value from the prior level.
Msg

The message property entry will determine if Network Security sends a message to the specified message queue for the user/server/function. Possible values are:

* Use the audit value from the prior level.
Y A message is sent to the specified queue.
N No message is sent.
Cap

Capture transactions for Memorized Transaction Request (MTR).

Possible values are:

* Use the audit value from the prior level.
Y Capture transactions.
N Do not capture transactions.
