It is used to produce an audit trail report or to generate the JCL for a job that produces an audit trail report.
Panel and field definitions
- Audit Trail
- Data set name
- This is the name of the data set that contains the audit trail that you want reported. This data set may have been created by a File Manager/IMS function or you may have to create it yourself by running a job that extracts FM/IMS audit log records from the SMF log data set. A sample job FMNSMFX is provided to help you do this. See the Customization Guide for more details.
- Description
- The audit trail description that is displayed at the beginning of the audit trail report. If the description contains embedded spaces it must be enclosed in quotation marks.
- Processing Options
- Enter "/" to select option
- Formatted print
- If you select this option, and the audit trail data set includes a template record,
then the IMS segment data printed in the report is formatted according to the template.
If you do not select this option, or the audit log data set does not include a template record, then the IMS segment data printed in the report is not formatted.
- Print only Changed Fields
- If you select this option and the Formatted print option then, for IMS
segments that are updated, only the fields that have changed are printed.
If you do not select this option, then before and after images of all
the fields are printed, irrespective of whether they have changed or not.
Note: FM/IMS always prints all the fields of inserted and deleted segments.
- Delete data set after Printing
- To delete the Audit Trail data set after the report has been produced.
- Browse report
- For foreground execution only, to automatically display the audit report after it has been produced.
- Batch execution
- To generate JCL for a job that produces the audit trail report.
- Hex Format
- To produce an UPDOWN hexadecimal display below the standard field display.
- Non-display Hex
- To produce an UPDOWN hexadecimal display below the standard field display only for fields that contain non-displayable \ characters.
- Highlight changes
- Highlight the changed fields. An asterisk is placed to left of the before data to indicate the field has been changed.
- Show key fields
- To display key fields even when Print only changed fields is selected. A "K" is printed to the left of key field names.
- Show committed updates only
- Select this option if you only want the committed updates to be reported. If this option is not selected, all the audit events in the audit log are reported. For an update function, checkpoints, rollbacks, and both committed and uncommitted database updates (inserts, deletes, and replaces) alike are reported. If this option is selected, FM/IMS only reports the database updates (inserts, deletes, and replaces) that were committed.
