There are audit functionalities on both IWSz and IWSd that can be used to track and discover the author of any change to definitions or plan.

Configuration differs on IWSz and IWSd.

On IWSd

The main settings to enable and configure auditing are enDbAudit, enPlanAuditin and auditStore in optman. By default it's enabled writing both on DB and on files.

On the console, under Administration -> Auditing Preferences, you can customize if users have to provide additional justification or ticket number for any change they make. Similar information can be optionally provided also on command lines.

The auditing information can be accessed via Reporting, DB queries (using AUDIT_STORE_RECORDS_V view), or auditing files. The same information are also available on the console:

  • In Manage Workload Definitions as Recent Activity or in the Versions tab of each object
  • In Monitor Workload as Recent Activity for each object in the plan

More details on Auditing facilities section in official doc

On IWSz

Audit information can be extracted in a report running a batch on z/OS, the information about the JCL sample and interactive menus to generate the report are available here

There are some parameters that affects the information available in the audit reports, the full list is available in the doc

  • Basic auditing was already present in 9.3, but Audit Preferences in DWC, justification, consolidation of FTA audits on the master, have been introduced with 9.4 – Franco Mossotto Oct 11 '20 at 07:59

  • On 9.3 you have to look at the audit files on the master or generate an audit report – Franco Mossotto Oct 15 '20 at 14:00
