Flexible Auditing of Activities
XDP provides an audit mechanism of activities occurring within an XDP system. The
auditing is flexible. You can audit all activity or selected activity to audit files, EMS or to
a TCP/IP address to an external event sink. Activity can be audited to multiple audit
files at the same time. The audit activity is fully integrated with the XYGATE Merged
Audit

(XMA) product software.
Both FPE and Stateless Tokenization Encryption Methods are Supported
XDP is shipped with Format Preserving Encryption (FPE) and stateless TOKEN
encryption methods already defined. You specify which encryption method should be
applied to fields in a record when you define the record’s layout in a FILEDEF.
Custom Encryption Methods are Supported
The default FPE and TOKEN encryption methods that are shipped with XDP have
parameter files that are modifiable if the default options provided are incorrect for the
application. It is also possible to define new encryption formats that have different
options in the parameter files, and it is also possible to define custom encryption
methods on the Voltage key server. All encryption methods must be registered in the
DPCONF file, and then they can be referenced in your FILEDEFs. XDP currently
supports up to 25-encryption methods.
COBOL85 Support
Non-CRE COBOL85 programs are fully supported, without having to bind-in the full
COBOL85 run time library.
XYGATEDP is Fault Tolerant
The XYGATEDP process runs as a NonStop process pair. This allows XYGATEDP to
keep running in the event of a CPU failure in which the XYGATEDP process is
executing.
Voltage Encryption Services can be Configured to Run in Parallel
The Voltage encryption service is configured as a Pathway server class so it is
possible to modify the as-shipped Pathway configuration to add additional server
processes and spread server processes across multiple CPUs. This allows higher
throughput when using multiple XDP-enabled application processes.
XDP Provides Testing Tools
XDP includes a What-if function to allow testing of file access rules before putting them
into production. What-if testing optionally writes entries in the audit file, which can be
reviewed using any of the report formats provided with XDP. This is explained in
