IBM Version 4 manual Security APIs, Software Product APIs

The registration facility APIs provide the capability to:

Ÿ	Register	and deregister			exit	points	with	the registration facility
Ÿ	Add and	remove	exit	programs		to and from the repository
Ÿ	Retrieve	exit	point	and	exit	program information from the repository
Ÿ	Designate	the	order	in	which	exit	programs	should be called

An exit point can call one program, a fixed number of programs, or all associated with an exit point. The exit program number associated with program should be used to determine the sequence in which the exit run.

An exit point can be registered multiple		times with the same exit poi
however,	the combination of the exit point		name	and	the exit			point	fo
must be	unique. Each exit program will be	associated				with	a	specific
exit point format. The exit point format		name can be used to indicate
occurred	to the interface of the exit	point. For			example,		this unique
point and format) could be the result of		a	parameter			change,		version
program data definition, and so forth. This unique name						will	facilitate
ferent exit programs run from different		versions		of	a	product for			the
name.

Security APIs

The OS/400 security APIs allow you to:

Ÿ Perform many of the	security functions through a program interface.
use APIs instead of	CL commands.

ŸCombine many individual jobs into a single server or overhead job wi promising system security.

Software Product APIs

The software products APIs were created to provide the user with t package and manage their product in a manner similar to the way IBM l programs are managed. OS/400 commands along with these APIs allow you to work with and create program temporary fixes (PTFs), to package and di products, and to manage software licenses.
