AUDITOGDG

Description

Specifies whether the audit log is written to a Generation Data Group data set (GDG).

This parameter is applicable to the SYSTEM control statement (see SYSTEM statement).

Format

AUDITOGDG [Yes|No|ON|OFF]
   ATGBASE gdgbasename
   ATGUNIT unitdevicetype
   ATGSMSCLASS smsdataclas
   ATGPSPACE numberofcylinders

Default: AUDITOGDG No

Usage

If set to Yes, the parameter specifies that audit log records should be written to the audit GDG data set.

During start up the (+1) generation level data set within the GDG cycle will be allocated, catalogued and opened. If a failure is encountered during this then an error message will be issued and no Audit log records will be written to the GDG. In order to close the current GDG data set and allocate, catalogue and open the next (+1) generation without re-starting, the SPIN command should be issued. This will take the following format:

SPIN AUDITGDG

The Audit GDG will be allocated as a variable blocked (VB) data set which has a record length of 260 and a block size of 3384. If a failure is encountered whilst writing out a block then an error message will be issued and no further writes will be attempted until the next SPIN AUDITGDG command is issued.

Subparameters

Subparameters under the AUDITOGDG parameter are:

ATGBASE gdgbasename

Default: None.

This is a mandatory subparameter if AUDITGDG is set to Yes. This specifies the audit GDG base name which forms the prefix of the audit GDG data set name to be allocated during IBM Session Manager start up, or on issuing the SPIN AUDITGDG command (that is, basname(+1). Must be one to thirty five characters in length.

ATGUNIT unitdevicetype

Default: SYSDA.

This specifies the type of device upon which the audit GDG data set will reside. Must be between one and eight characters in length.

ATGSMSCLAS smsdataclas

Default: None.

This specifies the SMS data class if the audit GDG is SMS-managed. This must be between one and eight characters in length.

ATGPSPACE numberofcylinders

Default: 5.

This specifies the primary space allocation, in cylinders, to assign to the audit GDG data set. This must be a numeric value between 1 and 999.
