Hi Shelia,

First off, in output of the LISTUSER command, find the most recent LAST-CONNECT 
date/time in the group connect information for all ID's groups. Most likely it 
will be associated with the ID's default group. If it is the same as the 
LAST-ACCESS date/time, then the later was updated due to a logon. If the 
LAST-ACCESS date/time is later, then someone did an ALTUSER RESUME on the ID, 
in which case you'll want to examine SMF type 80 records for ALTUSER events.

If it appears to be a logon, you will want to examine SMF type 80 records for 
event JOBINIT (logon) and INITOEDP (Unix dub) as well as type 30 subtype 1 
records (TSO, Batch, and Started Task logons). Note that successful logons are 
often not logged. It all depends on how the resource manager processing the 
logon is designed and configured.

The SMF event names I'm referring to appear in the output of RACF's SMF unload 
utility. This utility converts raw SMF 80 and 30 records into text or XML 
output. If you have RACF administration add-on product such as zSecure, it will 
provide its own mechanisms for reporting from SMF data.

If the above doesn't yield any useful information, try adding the UAUDIT 
attribute to the ID to record all its access activity. This activity might 
provide some clues as to how and from where the ID is being used. If you have 
zSecure Access Monitor, it can also provide helpful access activity information.

Regards, Bob

Subject: Racf Userid

Hello,

I have a userid abc that was last access in racf on 1/7/24 at 5:06 a.m.  Is 
there a report or something that will tell me who (batch job, script, etc..) is 
using this userid?

Thanks
