I wish we would have had this feature 40 years ago. At that time we shut the entire data center down on Sundays. Some time Sunday morning we had a consultant from a well known company came into the DS and IPL’d one of our system and turned off SMF recording and EREP and ran a bunch of jobs. Come Monday morning I was casually walking through the DS and went over to an out of sight 3215 (hard copy console) and while I was looking through the HC I saw the IPL and the operator (consultant) turning off SMF and EREP. I went over to the manager and asked what was going on Sunday and I explained to him what I saw on the HC and he said no-one was working and I took him over and showed him the log. He quickly looked at the security system and saw that a consultant had been there. I asked him if we shout tell the VP or not. He told me to go up there and explain what had happened. The VP managed to let me see him after I explained to his secretary what had happened. The VP told the consulting company that if the person had updated any DS they would be marched off the premises that morning. If I hadn’t chanced looked at the hidden console we would not have known.
