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.

The

OS/400

network

security

APIs

provide a means

that

automatically

logs

to

a

server

when

you

request

a

NetWare**

function (for

example,

file

can create authentication entries for each

NetWare

tree

or

NetWare

3.x server to which you

are

authorized. The

or

server,

your

name

on

that

server,

and

(optionally) your

passwo

you request a NetWare function, the system

attempts

to

start

a

server

by using

this

data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: To use these APIs, you need the Enhanced NetWare Integration fo feature.

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.

For more details on managing a product,SystemseeManagerthe Usebook,

SC41-5321. The System Manager for AS/400 licensed program can be used to facilitate managing your products.
