Administering CA VM:Tape (CMS TMCs Only) › Building an Audit File

Building an Audit File

The CA VM:Tape Audit file is a CMS file that contains a copy of all the changes and updates made to the TMC. Normally, CA VM:Tape creates the Audit file once at installation time. The CMSAUDIT record in the VMTAPE CONFIG file specifies the name of the Audit file:

CMSAUDIT VMTAPE AUDIT C

When the Audit file is first created, it contains only one record, a control record. The Audit file expands dynamically as audit records are created; you never have to reformat the Audit file to enlarge it.

To create an Audit file, use the VMTBUILD utility.

Note: For essential preparatory information, see Before Running VMTBUILD.
