What can I do with this system value?

Use the associated checkbox to specify whether you want to audit objects in the QTEMP library (*NOQTEMP). The QTEMP library is a job's temporary library, which is cleared when a job ends.

Select this value to avoid clutter in the audit journal due to a large number of operations on objects in QTEMP. When auditing is active and this option is selected, the following actions on objects in the QTEMP library are not audited:

  • Creating objects
  • Deleting objects
  • Changing or reading objects
  • Changing the authority, owner, or primary group of objects

You must specify this option with either the Activate action auditing (*AUDLVL) system value or the Activate object auditing (*OBJAUD) system value.
