Issue/Introduction

Does Dispatch cut an SMF record that would allow us to determine if a report is being viewed through the Web View product?

Environment

z/OS, 11.7, Dispatch, Web Viewer, when, report, viewed, smf, accessed, through, browsed

Cause

Need to identify when Dispatch reports are being viewed via Web Viewer

Resolution

The Dispatch 11.7 cut OLV AUDIT SMF records WILL indicate that a report was viewed through the Web Viewer product.

 

Field Name - Offset Length Type Description
----------- ------- ------ ---- -------------------------------
SMAACC       62-69  8      A/N  CA Dispatch logon access method
                                (DRAS,TSO,VATM,CICS,BATCH)

 

If the report was viewed via Web Viewer, the value found at offsets 62-69, in the SMAACC field of the OLV AUDIT record, will have a literal value of DRAS.
