The policies identified in the following table affect the behavior of all audits in an installation regardless of whether the audit are automatically submitted or manually invoked. These policies can be set for the installation as well as overridden for a data group. When set for a specific data group, these policies affect all audits for the data group. The shipped initial values for both levels are indicated.

When the Set MIMIX Policies (SETMMXPCY) command specifies a data group definition value of *INST, the policies being changed are effective for all data groups in the installation, unless a data group-level override exists. When the data group definition specifies a name, policies which specify the value *INST inherit their value from the installation-level policy value and polices which specify other values are in effect for only the specified data group.

Note:

Default values for the installation level are assigned to polices at the time the installation is created. Default values for data group level are assigned when the data group is created.
A value must be specified for the data group definition (DGDFN) parameter on the SETMMXPCY command in order to specify any policy value.
These policies are not limited to recovery actions.

Several policies affect when audits automatically run and how those audits select objects. However, those policies are no longer preferred for setting audit scheduling and object selection criteria. Instead, use the Set MIMIX Schedules (SETMMXSCD) command as described in Scheduling audits and reports.
