We added "missing" vendor products to it all the time. Every time the knowledgebase was updated, I'd review the custom list and take out anything they had started supporting. Back when I dealt with it, the doc for this was a little light, but it wasn't hard.
I even used it at one point to report on usage of internal application modules. Since MONITOR traps ALL program fetch operations, I could do everything I needed after-the-fact. I just added an entry that said anything that didn't belong to a known product was to fall into a custom bucket, then reported on it. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of John Donnelly > Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 12:06 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] Softaudit for Z/OS > > > We used Softaudit in the mid to late 90s as a tool for > locating all the stuff we had out there and frequency of > use...(Y2K)...low frequency resulted in a request for > justification for retaing the software...in some cases we > charged user departments with the software and maintenance cost... > > May be helpful in an outsourcing situation... > > Remember most that Softaudit was only as good as its > table of vendors...the biggest report was about unidentified stuff... > > We ran it until first maintenance charge can in... > > Recommend using SMF or security...like, who has read, > opened et all > > Just my opinion... > > -------------------------------------------------------- If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
