Usage notes

The following user authorization exit functions should be used with care.

Viewing past data (history): The history function does not use the user authorization exit when collecting data. All collected data is stored in the history data set. Although the display history data function uses the user authorization exit, a user could still unload the history data set. Because the unload function does not use the user authorization exit, the authorization checking could be bypassed. Use your security management product, such as RACF, to control access to the history data set.
Exception processing: There are two basic types of exception processing: periodic exception processing and exception event processing. While periodic exception processing use the authorizations specified in the user authorization exit, exception event processing does not use them.
