Use the FREEZE (F) command to take a snapshot of a program or file.
You can also use the program freezer and file freezer options. This process is part of the CA Auditor Freezer function. When you freeze a program, CA Auditor marks the program or file with a unique digital signature. This digital signature lets CA Auditor compare the current version of the program or file with previous versions. CA Auditor stores these digital signatures with other information about the program or file in the freezer database. Using the results of freezer processing, you can track changes to a program or file.
When you freeze a program or file, CA Auditor initiates freezer processing. It displays the results of this processing in several different formats. One of these formats is the change summary. The change summary is an outline of important information about the program or file. For example, the change summary can tell you when the program or file was last changed and how many times it was frozen since that date.
Based on the information in the change summary, you can then request more detailed information about changes to the program or file. A detailed list of up to 10 changes to a program or file is contained in the change log. The change log contains such valuable information as:
The kind of information that CA Auditor includes in the change log depends on the type of program or file that you freeze. For example, if you are tracking changes to a library, the change log shows you the number of members in the library. If you are tracking changes to a program, the change log shows you the size of the module. CA Auditor tailors the display to show you the kind of information that you should be concerned about.
You can use the F (Freeze) line command on most CA Auditor table displays. Enter F next to an entry to begin freezer processing.
