Journaling for Audit Trail Purposes

The journal will contain a record of every update made to every file being journaled. This record is an ideal source for any sort of audit trail report, for instance file maintenance reports. Such reports can be run retrospectively for any span of time, provided that the journal receivers are on-line. Any of the selection criteria of the OS/400 Display Journal (DSPJRN) command, such as user or job name, starting dates or ending dates, can be used to specify which entries or range of entries are to be listed.
