Question:  

We make rule changes all the time and then do the MODIFY ACF2 rebuild command, is there a way to verify that the MODIFY ACF2 command was issued and by whom? Is there an ACF2 report and sample JCL that can be run?

Answer: 

The ACFRPTNV report generator produces loggings of each START (S ACF2), STOP or PURGE (P ACF2), and MODIFY (F ACF2) operator command issued such as BACKUP, CACHE, CPF, DDB, NEWMOD, NEWXREF, NEWSHIFT, OMVS, RELOAD, SYSPLEX. This report generator also produces loggings of system IPLs and possible losses of SMF data.

CA ACF2 provides a sample report named REPORTS in ACF2.SAMPJCL - this JCL will run ACFRPTPP (preprocessor) and then many of the standard report programs. It does not provide simple JCL to only run one report program.

The ACFRPTNV report parameters can be specified using one of these methods:

The PARM parameter of the EXEC statement in the JCL or the SYSIN DD.

The ACFRPTNV report uses standard CA-ACF2 report JCL like the following two examples for batch submission.

Example 1 Using PARM statement for report parameters.

//REPORT  EXEC PGM=ACFRPTNV,PARM=('TITLE(SAMPLE ACFRPTNV)',    
//       'HEADER,CPUID(****)')                                 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//* THE FOLLOWING DDS SHOULD POINT TO THE SMF DATASETS         
//RECMAN1  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSX.MAN1                           
//RECMAN2  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSX.MAN2                           
//RECMAN3  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSX.MAN3  
//SYSIN      DD *                          
//*

Example 2 Using SYSIN file for report parameters.

//REPORT  EXEC PGM=ACFRPTNV                           
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                
//* THE FOLLOWING DDS SHOULD POINT TO THE SMF DATASETS
//RECMAN1  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSX.MAN1                  
//RECMAN2  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSX.MAN2                  
//RECMAN3  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYSX.MAN3                  
//SYSIN    DD   *                                     
TITLE(SAMPLE ACFRPTNV)                                
CPUID(****)                                           
HEADER                                                
//*

DD statements
RECxxxxx
These ddnames identify the files containing the input SMF records. ACFRPTNV accepts one SMF input file per ddname. Do not concatenate SMF input files.

SYSPRINT
ACFRPTNV uses the SYSPRINT file for message and summary report output.

SAMPLE OUTPUT

The following sample output examples shows the ACFRPTNV reporting for the following MODIFY ACF2 commands.

  1. logonid USER001 command entered: f acf2,refresh(opts)
  2. logonid USER002 command entered: f acf2,setnorul(all)
  3. logonid USER002 command entered: f acf2,rebuild(fac)
  4. logonid USER003 command entered: f acf2,omvs
  5. logonid USER004 command entered: f acf2,backup
