Wow! Didn't know about that command either. This has been very instructional. I can easily filter out the vendor code from that command by path, and just see our custom programs.
There seems to be some caching going on too, at least until the user logs off - the reference count stays for some period of time. It runs really fast too, so I could run a cron job once per minute and not have too much overhead. Every 10 minutes wouldn't be good enough, but we likely have few processes that login, do their thing and then logout within a minute. Most of those would be web-service clients, and those call a couple of generic handlers first. Great suggestion, thanks! -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Baakkonen, Rodney A (Rod) 46K Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 5:24 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Logging program execution in Unidata? What we did was have a cron run every 10 minutes that executed a Unidata program. The Unidata program did a PCPERFORM sbcsprogs to capture everything that was running out of the global catalog. It parses up the output of sbcsprogs and builds a Unidata file. This file has the program name as the key and the following attributes: DR DoctoR (Display Record) File: CBH.PROGRAM.TRACKING ATB ATB Name Conv Value Item: CLM101 1 Last Update D2/ 01/06/14 2 First Recorded D2/ 11/16/00 3 No of Times Captured 4254 End of Defined Attributes If something consistently runs and finshes within 10 minutes, it will never be recorded. You could have the threshold set to whatever you want. But we thought 10 minutes was good enough for our usage. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 7:07 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Logging program execution in Unidata? I believe there is something wrong with this suggestions. IIRC you don't get the time and date it was last RUN, only the date it was last "Accessed". I suspect this is the "touch" date, which could mean that just looking at it in a directory scan, "touches" it. Along with a host of other things that don't actually *run* the code. So it wouldn't answer the Q as to whether it's "actively" executed. You also get the number of times is has run since being catalogued, which always seemed to be an odd choice for me. It may have been run a thousand times, but not run at all in the past ten years. But if I ruled the world, things would be different. Not better just different. Anyway, let us know how it works for your purpose. -----Original Message----- From: McGowan, Ian <james.mcgo...@bankofthewest.com> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Mon, Jan 6, 2014 4:55 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Logging program execution in Unidata? Larry/Wol, thanks for this. Trying it now on a dev server. Not sure how I've missed this all these years, but glad to learn something new! -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of lar...@wcs-corp.com Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 4:44 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Logging program execution in Unidata?
