RSTDSEG applies to restricted segments only, that is, those defined with CLASS R, like GCS
You'd need to audit DIAG64 (refer to RACF's auditor's guide for more details)

  Create a profile in the VMXEVENT class (if you don't have one yet):
   RAC RDEFINE VMXEVENT MYEVENTS
  Then change the content to tell what needs to be monitored/audited
   RAC RALTER VMXEVENT MYEVENTS ADDMEM(DIAG64/AUDIT)
  Then tell RACF to use (refresh) this events profile:
   RAC SETEVENT REFRESH MYEVENTS

I don't know which information will be recorded in the SMF file, consule the Auditor's guide to find how to use the report writer to read the SMF file, or create a PIPE to filter yourself what you need.

This would be useful as we have RACF. Can you give me any guidance on how to set this up. I am guessing it has something to do with setting VMXEVENT monitoring of RSTDSEG - but I have not worked it out yet (I seem to need to raise my base level of knowledge on the workings of RACF!!).
