Batch Scripts

You can use CA Auditor batch scripts with SNMP traps or CA Audit events to act as silent auditors, automatically running periodically and informing Unicenter or CA Audit when audit-worthy-findings are encountered.

To set up a batch script that runs periodically:

• Use the Batch Script option (0.4.2) to set up the audits you want to perform. Begin with a TRAP ON / EVENTS ON command
• Use the JCL Edit option (0.4.1) to set up the JCL to run the batch script
• If you have a scheduling package, such as CA Scheduler or CA 7, schedule the job to run however often you need
• If you do not have a scheduling package, make the JCL a started task and use JES2 automatic commands to run it periodically:
  • Remove the JOB statement from the batch JCL and copy it to a member of a procedure library, such as SYS1.PROCLIB.
  • Issue a JES2 automatic command to start the task:

    $TA,T= hh. mm,'S BATCHAUD'
