Auditing PSF printing
PSF uses the SMF type 6 record to audit certain events that can indicate a security exception. Only one record is written per data set, but the record can contain numerous conditions.
The following information is included in the SMF type 6 record
to support print labeling:
- Indicator that flags JCL keywords that are in effect during printing.
- Indicator that flags a successful print operation.
- Indicator that flags an error that occurred during overlay processing.
- Indicator that flags a hardware error that occurred.
- Indicator that flags printed job-trailer pages.
- Indicator that flags printed job-header pages.
- Indicator that flags that the user suppressed data-page labeling.
- Indicator that flags that the user suppressed UPA enforcement.
- Identifier for the job or group identifier for the data set.
- Identifier for the page definition name.
- Identifier for the form definition name.
- Identifier for the number of security overlays that are used.
- Identifier for the number of security fonts that are used.
- Identifier for the number of security page segments that are used.
