Auditing of actions made via Tivoli Dynamic workload console

Question

In tivoli dynamic workload console how to check which user has run or hold the job

Answer 1

There are audit functionalities on both IWSz and IWSd that can be used to track and discover the author of any change to definitions or plan.

Configuration differs on IWSz and IWSd.

On IWSd

The main settings to enable and configure auditing are enDbAudit, enPlanAuditin and auditStore in optman. By default it's enabled writing both on DB and on files.

On the console, under Administration -> Auditing Preferences, you can customize if users have to provide additional justification or ticket number for any change they make. Similar information can be optionally provided also on command lines.

The auditing information can be accessed via Reporting, DB queries (using AUDIT_STORE_RECORDS_V view), or auditing files. The same information are also available on the console:

• In Manage Workload Definitions as Recent Activity or in the Versions tab of each object
• In Monitor Workload as Recent Activity for each object in the plan
