System values: Auditing overview
You can use IBM® i auditing system values to control various auditing and other record-keeping events.
To access the auditing category of system values from IBM Navigator for i, select Configuration and Services and then select System Values.
IBM Navigator for i uses descriptive words to describe system values. The following table provides an overview of the auditing system values available in IBM Navigator for i (and their counterparts in the character-based interface).
To view the auditing system values, you must have All object (*ALLOBJ) or Audit (*AUDIT) special authority. If you do not have the required authority, the Auditing category of system values is not available. In IBM Navigator for i, the Auditing category is not displayed. In the character-based interface, the auditing system values display the Not available (*NOTAVL) value with the exception that QAUDFRCLVL displays -1. You need Audit (*AUDIT) authority to change the auditing system values.
