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.
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.
