Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

After executing a TSSUTIL report with the following report criteria:

    EVENT(ALL) DATASET(xxxxxx)

there are not any successful DATASET accesses shown.

Resolution

Logging of successful dataset accesses must be set. There are several methods to audit in Top Secret, including:

1) ADD LOG(ACCESS) to the Global Control Options

2) The AUDIT attribute on an acid. Example: TSS ADD(acid) AUDIT

3) Add the resource in the AUDIT record. Example: TSS ADD(AUDIT) DSN(ABCD)

4) Put ACTION(AUDIT) on a TSS PERMIT command. Example: TSS PERMIT(acid) DSN(ABCD) ACTION(AUDIT)

NOTE: If Resource is already PERMITTED to ACID without ACTION(AUDIT) you will need to:

- Remove the entry you have
- Re-issue the permit to the ACID with ACTION(AUDIT) 
- Run TSSUTIL with REPORT EVENT(AUDIT) dsn(sys1) and it will report on all accesses to it.

5) Put the AUDIT attribute on a facility. Example: TSS MODIFY FAC(CICSPROD=AUDIT).

6) Put ACTION(AUDIT) for an ADD(acid) FAC(fac) Example: TSS ADD(ALL) FAC(fac) ACTION(AUDIT)
