Optical auditing

Many optical operations can be audited.

To enable optical auditing, the system value QAUDCTL must be set to *AUDLVL, and *OPTICAL must be specified in the QAUDLVL system value.

Use the *SEC value on the SYSVAL parameter of the Work with System Values (WRKSYSVAL) command to change these system values. *AUDIT special authority is required to change these values.

The following optical operations can be audited:

• Create, copy, or delete a directory
• Open file, including access mode (read-only, write only, read and write)
• Copy, move, rename, or delete file
• Change or retrieve directory attributes
• Control file system (save or release held file, sector read) options
• Open a directory
• Back up optical volumes
• Initialize or rename an optical volume
• Convert a backup optical volume to a primary volume
• Add or remove an optical cartridge
• Change the authorization list, securing an optical volume
• Save an optical volume
• Restore an optical volume
• Check optical volume for damaged files
