• RESUME/SUSPEND for each access list entry allows access to start and stop automatically.

• E-PAL access list changes are automatically retained for an installation specified period of time before being deleted. This permits instant online recovery to a previous access level.

• Journals to SMF, and writes to the system log all access denials, and accesses requested to be journaled.

• Provides programs to report on E-PAL accesses, and access lists.

• Uses a set of VSAM databases compatible across systems. Updates are automatically backed up in a backup file, and online recovery using E-PAL ISPF screens is standard.

• The E-PAL VSAM database may be used to house disaster recovery special access permissions.

• Only exceptional access is controlled by E-PAL All users must have a valid IBM-RACF or CA-ACF2 userid to access systems.
