Define User Actions

The $NMAUAPI API uses the $NMAUDITACTIONS CAS table to identify the specified action. Each action is identified by a hexadecimal value. If an action is not in the table, the API records the action as X'FFFF' in SMF. To make reporting easier, you can add your own actions to the table.

To define user actions to the $NMAUDITACTIONS CAS table

  1. Enter the /CASTAB panel shortcut.

    The list of CAS table definitions appears.

  2. Enter L $NMAUDITACTIONS.

    The list scrolls and locates the $NMAUDITACTIONS table definition.

  3. Enter LE beside $NMAUDITACTIONS.

    The entries for the table definition appear.

  4. Press F4 (Add).

    The Table Entry Definition panel appears.

  5. Specify the action name (alphabets with no spaces), and provide a unique hexadecimal value in the range X'1000' to X'1FFF' to identify it. Press F3 (File).

    The specified action is added to the table. If the action is recorded in SMF through an API call, it is recorded with the specified hexadecimal value.
