Policy panel

Use the panel for an individual policy to view the current settings or to set the policy.

Before you begin:

Steps for accessing the policies:

  1. Display the "Policies" panel for the scope for which you want to view or set a policy (see Accessing policies).
  2. Expand the category for the policy you want to view or set in the policy tree by clicking on the '+' symbol adjacent to it.
    Note:
    Not every policy is available at all three scopes. Service-specific policies are only present if you are authorized for the respective service.

  3. Select the policy you want to view or set.
  4. Click Load.

    This downloads the panel for the selected policy from one of your z/OS systems. You might have to log on to a system before the panels can be downloaded. When the panel for the policy is downloaded it is displayed.

    Note:
    This button is only available if you have selected a policy.
    Use the controls on the panel to specify the policy according to your needs.

    To get help for a specific control:

    1. Click the ? that is located adjacent to the Help button.
    2. Move the pointer to the control for which help is required.
    3. Click the control.
    Note:
    The help topic that is accessed through the help button is general. It provides help for the buttons but not for the other controls.

  5. Click Default if you want to reset all controls to their defaults.
  6. Click Set to save your specifications and to close the policy-specific panel.
  7. Click OK to close the "Policies" panel.
