Issue/Introduction
Introduction:
We have a new requirement from the Business asking Operations to report on the last time any user logged into any CA Automation Point (AP) session.
Question:
Does CA Automation Point have any built-in reporting mechanism for providing the last time a particular user logged into any AP session?
Environment:
Any Supported Release of CA Automation Point
Answer:
CA Automation Point does not provide a specific mechanism for reporting the last time a particular user logged into any session. However, we do keep log file records of each time any user logs into any session from CA Remote Viewer Client in the xc_msg.log and the out.deb files. So you could write an AP rule that detects these login message IDs and sends the &TIME and &MSG environment variables to a custom AP-REXX script that you can write which parses the &MSG for the session name and userID, and then writes the parsed userID and &TIME to a log file somewhere on the server's filesystem whose filename is prefixed by the parsed session name (e.g. session1_last_user_login.txt.
