Event recording

ICSF records certain ICSF events in the System Management Facilities (SMF) data set. ICSF also sends messages that are generated during processing to the ICSF job log and consoles. The SMF recording and messages help you detect problems and track events. This topic describes the events that ICSF records in the SMF record and describes where ICSF sends certain messages.

These records can be used with RACF SMF type 80 record to audit use of the callable services and the keys. The RACF type 80 records are extracted and formatted using the RACF SMF Unload Utility. See z/OS Security Server RACF Auditor's Guide for information on how to use this utility. For information about the formatted SMF records see z/OS Security Server RACF Macros and Interfaces.
