• A DYNCAT utility command is entered, causing the Catalog to be modified
(including the SCRATCH function).
• CA Dynam/FI is used to modify the characteristics of a DTF for processing
or the FI 'AUDIT' option is used on a file which is not modified.
The Audit Trail facility can report all of these conditions through the AUDTUTIL
report generator. It also logs special Catalog recovery entries whenever the
Catalog is modified. However, these are processed only during Catalog
recovery.
Whenever an Audit Trail record is created, the following information is noted:
• Catalog record entry (new entries)
• System date and time of processing
• Job name, phase name
• Partition ID
• Tape or disk drive address
• File name (DTFname)
• Tape recording mode
Before logged file activity can be directed to the Audit Trail file, you must
initialize the file with the AUDTUTIL program's DATASET command.
