Hi,  
What are the possible/best ways of logging DBA activities in an environment where Adabas and Adabas Review runs in z/OS ? DBA activities mean console commands or changes made by AOS.  
thanks  
Engin

There is no specific Review function available to log database changes which are made via AOS/ADADBS or console operator commands. These commands are suppressed at the moment. I´ve heard already similar request for another customer.

Would be a good idea, maybe you open a brainstorm request ?

Available is an ADARUN parameter AOSLOG which does log to DDPRINT the commands issued by ADADBS OPERCOM or equivalent AOS functions that modify the active nucleus.

Have your systems programmer check the SMF records. Almost everything can be tracked in these records.
