You can manually create the IDS policy configuration files by coding all of the required statements in a file. There are a large number of configuration options provided by IDS policy statements that permit advanced users to carefully fine-tune IDS policy on a per-stack basis. The information in Defining IDS policies describes the procedure for creating an IDS policy by manually creating and editing the configuration files. For details about the IDS policy statements, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.
