AUDIT User Exit

Use the AUDIT user exit to accept or reject audit records being written to the VMDIRECT AUDIT file on the AUDT minidisk or to perform additional processing as necessary.

All CA VM:Director commands generate audit records. The AUDIT user exit is called for each record.

(CA VM:Secure only) An audit record is generated for each of the CP commands and Diagnose codes trapped by the Rules Facility. The AUDIT user exit is called for each of these records.

Because of the widespread use of this exit, you should make speed a high‑priority goal when you code this exit; slow execution can have a major impact on CA VM:Director performance. To help with performance, the AUDIT exit must be in the form of a TEXT file. An EXEC file is not permitted.
