Using the DFSMSrmm audit facility, you can record in SMF records all the updates your users make to the control data set. To specify that you want auditing, use the SMFAUD installation parameter in the EDGRMMxx parmlib member. You can collect records through your installation's normal SMF processing and use them as input to the DFSMSrmm program EDGAUD. An SMF audit record can capture any change to the DFSMSrmm inventory.

DFSMSrmm provides several mapping macros for DFSMSrmm SMF audit and security records. See z/OS DFSMSrmm Reporting for the layout of these macros. See Updating SMFPRMxx (optional) for information on how identify records to be collected. See Defining security classes: SECCLS for information on defining which SMF record numbers to use.
