Fixed-length options for journal entries
You can use the Fixed Length Data (FIXLENDTA) parameter of Create Journal (CRTJRN) and Change Journal (CHGJRN) commands to audit security related activity for journaled objects on your system.
With the FIXLENDTA parameter, you can elect to include security related information in the fixed-length portion of the journal entries. You cannot use the FIXLENDTA parameter and Minimize fixed-length portion of entries at the same time.
Fixed-length options
With the FIXLENDTA parameter, you can specify that the following data is included in the journal entries that are deposited into the attached journal receiver:
- Job name
- Use the *JOB value to specify the job name.
- User profile name
- Use the *USR value to specify the effective user profile name.
- Program name
- Use the *PGM value to specify the program name.
- Program library name
- Use the *PGMLIB value to specify the program library name and the auxiliary storage pool device name that contains the program library.
- System sequence number
- Use the *SYSSEQ value to specify the system sequence number. The system sequence number gives a relative sequence to all journal entries in all journal receivers on the system.
- Remote address
- Use the *RMTADR value to specify the remote address, the address family and the remote port.
- Thread identifier
- Use the *THD value to specify the thread identifier. The thread identifier helps distinguish between multiple threads running in the same job.
- Logical unit of work identifier
- Use the *LUW value to specify the logical unit of work identifier. The logical unit of work identifies work related to specific commit cycles.
- Transaction identifier
- Use the *XID value to specify the transaction identifier. The transaction identifier identifies transactions related to specific commit cycles.
