SFS has an option to log who accessed a file (not which program): you'd need to turn auditing ON (what requires an SFS restart). We ran a while with this auditing active (maybe at the initial SFS days when a DLOR was not yet maintained by SFS). The only way I know to read a file without

XC mode is for those users that need to access SFS files from dataspaces. XC mode lets DAT off users reach out to a dataspace, which is actually a virtual storage system. SFSes that exploit dataspaces are for dircontrol directories. David -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating

What (exactly) is it that you would want logged? All commands executed by the user and/or all sub-commands that they may call? If so, SOME of that is captured in the console spooling, but not all (and console spooling can be easily changed by the user - for example #CP SPOOL CONSOLE STOP PURGE

There's also the CMAP/XA product from Macro4. If you have enough DASD space for everything it can log (you choose what you want logged), and enough CPU horsepower to support monitoring everything it can monitor, then you can monitor and awful lot of what any CMS user does. See:
