TSSTRACK Utility › Allocating the Audit/Tracking Files › Invoking TSSTRACK under TSO or ISPF

Invoking TSSTRACK under TSO or ISPF

The following CLIST can be used as a model to invoke TSSTRACK under TSO:

TSSTRACK CLIST
    PROC 00 OPTION
    FREE DDN(AUDIT,AUDIT2)
    ALLOC DDNAME(AUDIT) DSNAME ('dsname of first ATF') SHR
    ALLOC DDNAME(AUDIT2) DSNAME('dsname of second ATF') SHR
    TSSTRACK '&OPTION.'
    FREE DDN(AUDIT,AUDIT2)
    EXIT

(For sites which do not employ AUDIT2, that allocation might be omitted.) You will need to make the CLIST available to the SYSPROC allocation for users who will need to invoke the utility. The CLIST has the capacity to take a single option as a parameter. If more than one option needs to be specified, the CLIST should be invoked without operands, and the program will prompt for options.

After entering your options, the security‑related information is continuously displayed. The INTERVAL selection criterion will specify how frequently the Audit/Tracking File is to be checked for new events. New selection criteria values can be entered at any time by pressing the PA1 key on 3270 terminals or the BREAK key on non‑3270 terminals. (Remote 3270 terminals in SNA environments might need to use the ATTN key.) This interrupts the tracking information display, and the input prompt is reissued. You can then enter the desired selection criteria. To return to the tracking information display, press the Enter key.

If DATE or TIME is specified after displaying the requested tracking information, TSSTRACK will display the “option” prompt when the current date and time is reached in the Audit/Tracking file after the Enter key is pressed.

TSSTRACK is terminated by interrupting the tracking information display as described above, then entering the STOP or END selection criteria.
