Using the Full-Screen Feature

Before you can use the full‑screen feature to run this report, you must select SMF files. See Selecting SMF Input Files in “The Reports” chapter for information about gathering the SMF files as input for this report.

Use the screen below to run the Dataset Event Log. It displays when you select option 6.2.4 from the Primary Option Menu. See Running Reports Using the Full‑Screen Feature in “The Reports” chapter for basic information on using the full‑screen feature.

After you have defined all fields, press the Enter key to execute the report.

The following list explains the various fields of the screen.

Enter Report Parameters:

File mask

Specify a mask to request information for a particular file or group of files.

File not mask

Specify a mask to exclude a particular file or group of files. If you specify a value for this field, it overrides the File mask field.

Logonid mask

Specify a mask to specify a particular logonid or group of logonids. The default requests information for all logonids that had an access journaled.

Not mask

Specify a mask to exclude a particular logonid or group of logonids. If you specify a value for this field, it overrides the values you entered in the Logonid mask field.

Event Selection:

All

Specify Y (the default) to include information for all journaled accesses.

Loggings

Specify Y to include all records produced for accesses that CA ACF2 for z/VM allowed but had a journal record created due to an access rule request.

Tape

Specify Y to include requests to tape volumes that CA ACF2 for z/VM validated on the volume level (as opposed to tape access requests validated at the filename level).

Traces

Specify Y to include records for a user who had the TRACE attribute specified in their logonid record.

Violations

Specify Y to include records on attempted violations of access controls.

Pgmname

Specify Y to include records issued whenever a user executed a program defined as a maintenance program, protected program, or logged program.

Install

Specify Y to include records issued whenever any of the CA ACF2 for z/VM data set validation user exits (VIOEXIT, VLDEXIT, or DSNPOST) request CA ACF2 for z/VM to journal the access to SMF.

Unknown

Specify Y to include all unknown type records issued when the CA ACF2 for z/VM file access validation routine detects an error condition, such as an invalid parameter list.

Output format

Specify one of three output formats.

TERMINAL

Provides a five‑line detail section for each record

PRINTER

Provides a three‑line detail section for each record (133 characters per line)

SUMMARY

Provides a one‑line detail section for each record (133 characters per line).

Extended terminal output

Define the default terminal report format. Specify Y (EXTEND) to display the maximum information from a record. Specify N (NOEXTEND) to display a consistent four‑line format for the report.

Table size

Specify the number of elements allowed at the end of the report in the data set prefix/logonid cross‑reference table. The default table size occupies 50,000 bytes (49K) of memory.

Cross reference only

Print only the cross‑reference table for this run of ACFRPTDS. The cross‑reference table provides a listing of file prefixes and the logonids that accessed them with that prefix, and shows the access counts. The default prints all detailed information.

Common Parameters:

User title

Specify a character string that is added to the other title information at the top of the report. This character string can be up to 35 characters long. If you do not specify this parameter, the report generator uses the first 35 characters in the command parameters.

System ID

Specify the CA ACF2 for z/VM system ID or a mask for the systems that were active when the SMF records were generated. The default is all systems.

UID mask

Enter the UID mask that limits the output to those pertaining to the user or group of users indicated by the UID mask. The default is all users.

Output device

Specify the type of output device for this report, TERMINAL, PRINTER, or DISK. TERMINAL is the default.

Line count

Specify the number of lines per page. The default is 60.

Start date

Specify the start date of the report data, in Julian or Gregorian days. Values of 70 through 99 as the year portion of the Julian or Gregorian format represent 1970 through 1999, values 00 through 69 represent 2000 through 2069. The default is January 1, 1978.

End date

Specify the end date of the report data, in Julian or Gregorian days. Values of 70 through 99 as the year portion of the Julian or Gregorian format represent 1970 through 1999, values 00 through 69 represent 2000 through 2069. The default is December 31, 2069.

Start time

Specify the beginning of the time interval for selecting SMF records. This time is based on a 24‑hour clock. The default is 0000 (12:00 a.m.).

End time

Specify the end of the time interval for selecting SMF records. This time is based on a 24‑hour clock. The default is 2359 (11:59 p.m.).

Select

Define the SMF record number CA ACF2 for z/VM should use for this report.

Job masks

Specify the job name to limit records appearing on this report to those pertaining to the job or jobs indicated by the job name or job name mask. Use commas or blanks to separate multiple job names. The default is all jobs.

After you define all the values, press Enter and the report executes.
