Dear Gurus, I am in a process of tracking the changes made to VSAM. Just went on with a basic research on performing a audit trail on VSAM and found the below information like
"Type 60 records updates to the VSAM volume Dataset (VVDS). Updates are recorded as INSERTED, DELETED or UPDATED. As SMS puts NVR entries into the VVDS for non-VSAM files, this can give you comprehensive audit activity for who has been creating, deleting and updating files. Some of the information this record provides is date, time, jobname, action, filename, volume(s), catalog, sms classes and newname if appropriate. Type 61/65/66 -- These all involve IDCAMS VSAM processing. Type 61 is a DEFINE, Type 65 is a DELETE and Type 66 is an ALTER. Type62/64 -- These records relate to VSAM component or cluster processing. Type 62 is for a cluster open, and type 64 for a cluster close or volume switch. The records include the catalog and volumes that relate to the cluster, the date and time the cluster was opened, and the job name. The type 64 record also contains information about SMB, NSR and LSR usage." Does anyone have a proven sample JCL to track the VSAM changes ? Meanwhile I am checking in Fine Manual for a similar Samples. This could really help me in accomplishing my Proof Of Concept.
