Re: SMF record for PDS(E) member updates or adds?
There is no IBM SMF record that tracks member-level access to PDS/PDSEs, other than the type 42 subtype 21. There is a MEMBER name field in the SMF 14/15, but that is only populated when the JCL specified the PDS member name (i.e, the access is BSAM, not BPAM). I'm aware of two products: PDSMAN that provides member-level access tracking, and TSO/MON, which tracks member-level access from within ISPF, and both do write their data to user SMF records.

-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of King, Jeffrey E John, PDSMAN cuts SMF audit records for all types of updates to PDS(E) members (except update-in-place). You control the data sets and members the records are written for as well as the type of update (add, delete or replace). You can also specify the SMF record number to be used. The format of the SMF records is documented so you can use your own program to process the results. Or you can report the record contents using a PDSMAN provided utility. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thanks. At this time a product is not an option. Was looking for a means to identify a past action, anyway. -jc- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Hi, All, Is there an SMF or other system-generated audit record for *updates* or *adds* of PDS(E) members? The Type 42 record (z/OS 1.5) subtype 21 is apparently cut only for *deletions* of members.
