Subtypes

Overview

Adabas Audit Data Retrieval can write SMF records at different stages of list processing, when definitions are changed, etc. The information contained in these records can be used for accounting and other monitoring purposes.

_beta smf

SMF records can be evaluated with the help of _beta smf. For more information, see _beta smf Manual.

LST parameters

The writing of SMF records is controlled via LST parameters:

  • B97_SMFREC specifies the SMF record number.
  • B97_SMFREC_SUBTYP_nn = WRITE | NOWRITE controls whether subtype nn is written or not.
  • B97_SMFREC_VERSION specifies the SMF record version.

Note on _beta view and Web Enabler: If you are using the BSA TCP/IP server as a standalone started task and want to write SMF records for logon/logoff requests, the LST parameters B97_SMFREC_ SUBTYP_50 = WRITE and B97_SMFREC_ SUBTYP_55 = WRITE must be coded in the LST member of the Beta 02 STC.

Subtypes

Adabas Audit Data Retrieval writes the following SMF record subtypes:

Subtype

Description

0

Records list/report input

Adabas Audit Data Retrieval writes a subtype 0 SMF record each time it reads in and/or indexes a list/report or reloads a list/report from the archive.

If the list/report is indexed, the record is written when the list/report has been completely indexed. If the subsystem is stopped before indexing is complete, there will be no subtype 0 SMF record for this list/report.

2

Records all activities of a user with a list/report

Subtype 2 SMF records include all activities with lists, including index-based search (line command IX and primary command IA) and browse (line command S and primary command BA). One subtype 2 SMF record is written for each list/report that the user works with.

4

Records the archiving of lists/reports

Adabas Audit Data Retrieval creates a subtype 4 SMF record each time it archives a list/report. The record is written after the list/report has been archived.

6

Records changes to the archive retention period

21

Records the selection of lists/reports

Adabas Audit Data Retrieval creates a subtype 21 record each time a selection of lists/reports is carried out online or in batch mode.

22

Records modifications of generation records (IGRs) via _beta view or the ISPF online application (TSO/VDF): line commands E, A, UA, D, UD, V, NV, R and UR in the "List/Report Selection Table".

25

Records Adabas Audit Data Retrieval spool access (online browsing or printing via TSO or VDF, open, download or print via _beta view)

49

Records the running of an Adabas Audit Data Retrieval batch job

50

Records logon requests from _beta view or Web Enabler

51

Records the modification of definitions

Adabas Audit Data Retrieval creates a subtype 51 record each time a definition is updated, inserted or deleted.

55

Records logoff requests from _beta view or Web Enabler

59

Records statistical information on the Adabas Audit Data Retrieval subsystem (for example input, output, CPU usage)
