CICS DA server audit log

Every time the CICS® DA server runs a command as the result of a user action, an entry is recorded in the audit log. The audit log is defined in the CICS DA server startup JCL. The audit log can be either a data set or a z/OS® UNIX file. The data set must be allocated, or the z/OS UNIX file must exist, before the server starts.

The audit log records all actions that the server runs, and the originator of the request. The following example shows some of the records in a z/OS UNIX file audit log.An example of an audit log showing the command issued, the date and time, and the ID of the user who issued them.

The log records the date and time that the command is issued, the command type, and the ID of the user who originated the action.
