The process of creating a new policy object is the same for all types of policy objects,
as follows:
Procedure
From the Entry Type Selection panel,
you select the desired policy object's entry type. For
example, if you want to create a new Application object, enter option 6 or APL at
the command line.
SA z/OS displays
the Entry Name Selection panel
for the selected entry type. You
can either select action NEW from the COMMANDS pull-down or enter
the command new entry_type_name at
the panel's command line. The entry type name
is optional for this command.
SA z/OS displays Define New Entry panel
(an example for defining a new Application is shown in Figure 1)
for the selected entry type, where
you now specify the required information. See Entry Type Reference for
more information about how to create new policy objects.
