Policy Objects and Policy Items
A policy object is represented by an entry name for a particular entry type, for example, an application or timer.
Each policy object has a number of policy items associated with it. To define your policy, you enter data for the policy items of each policy object in the SA z/OS enterprise. For example, if you choose option 2 on the Entry Type Selection panel (Figure 1) to specify Group policy, Figure 2 is displayed.
