Full logging support is available in the CA IDMS environment. Logging can be specified on a global basis via the LOG control option, or on a facility basis via the suboption of the FACILITY control option. Details regarding the operation and assignment of logging can be found in the Control Options Guide. A summary of logging options appears in the following table for quick reference.
|
Logging Option |
Function |
|
ACTIVITY |
Logs all activity |
|
INIT |
Logs all signon and signoff activity |
|
ACCESS |
Logs all resource accesses |
|
ALL |
Selects all log options |
|
NONE |
Deactivates logging |
|
MSG |
Requests writing of all violation messages to a user's terminal |
|
SMF |
Requests writing of data to SMF data sets |
|
Sec9 |
Requests violation messages be routed to security console (route code 9) |
It should be noted that certain options will generate large amounts of data, specifically ALL and ACTIVITY. If these options are selected, verify that enough space has been allocated in the Audit tracking file to prevent loss of data. SMF reporting is especially vulnerable, due to global implications of a "data lost" situation affecting system performance and monitoring. For this reason, and for ease of reporting, the CA Top Secret Audit/Tracking File should be used for all violation and auditing purposes.
