Security Events

The Exit Program performs authority checking each time it encounters a Security Event. Security Events are logical points in the CA‑PanAPT environment where the Exit Program gains control. These events occur when a user:

• Enters CA‑PanAPT from the ISPF Panel
• Adds a member to a move request
• Changes a member on a Move Request
• Deletes a member from a Move Request
• Purges a member from a Move Request (same as delete but also deletes the member from the test library)
• Exits CA‑PanAPT

CA‑PanAPT has three types of security events:

• Initialization Event (INIT)
• Activity Event (ACTIVITY)
• Termination Event (TERM)

INIT and TERM events are always taken if the Security Exit Program has been activated from the System Security Information Maintenance panel.

Once the Security Exit Program has been activated, a CA‑PanAPT system administrator (usually) or another designated person activates Activity Events for individual CA‑PanAPT activities through Activity Maintenance panels. You can activate one, several, or all security events in your CA‑PanAPT environment.
