AS/400 HELP

"CMDLOG"

CMDLOG saves and displays / prints selected commands entered on the command line and via AS/400 menus. You can use CMDLOG to track the usage of certain commands by your users . It uses the EXIT POINT QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND.

CMDLOG saves info (up to 512 bytes) for the commands you select via the WRKREGINF command. You can then display the history log with CMDHIST.

CMDLOG was developed at V4r5 . It was also tested at V5R1

DOWNLOAD cmdloglib.SAVF

PC INSTRUCTIONS:

Download "CMDLOGLOG to your PC.

Go to a DOS session and enter the following;

FTP SYSTEM (system = your AS/400’s name or IP address)

Enter a valid user id and password

CD QGPL

LCD C:\DIRECTORY (directory= the directory on your pc where you downloaded “ cmdloglib.savf”

QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1

BIN

PUT CMDLOGLIB.SAVF

QUOTE RCMD RSTLIB SAVLIB(CMDLOG) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/CMDLOGLIB)

 Note: If there is a security problem restoring all objects with the command above, sign on to your as/400 as Qsecofr and run RSTLIB from the command line.

AS/400 INSTRUCTIONS:

INSTALL SECTION; (1 time only after CMDLOG is restored to the As/400)

MOVOBJ OBJ(CMDLOG/CMDLOG) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(QGPL)

MOVOBJ OBJ(CMDLOG/CMDLOGL1) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(QGPL)

NOTE: Make sure library QGPL is in the qsyslibl or Qusrlibl library list. Otherwise CMDLOG will not find the log file CMDLOG and its logical. USE DSPSYSVAL QSYSLIBL and / or DSPSYSVAL QUSRLIBL to insure QGPL is on either list. If not Use WRKSYSVAL QSYSLIBL and add QGPL to the list. If you can’t add QGPL to either list you must place files CMDLOG and CMDLOGL1 in a library that is available when the EXIT POINT runs.

ADD COMMANDS SECTION;

Enter WRKREGINF and press enter

Find QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND and enter 8 next to it

Use OPT 1 to add Exit Program CMDLOG in Library CMDLOG and press enter

In the next screen enter a program number. Start with 1 and add 1 for each subsequent command you want to log

Press F10

Roll Up

For Length of data enter 20

For Program data enter CCCCCCCCLLLLLLLLLL

Where CCCCCCCCCC = command LLLLLLLLLL = library

Example SAVLIB QSYS __

Note: You must enter the command as 10 characters followed by the library where this command is held (QSYS) Do a WRKOBJ on the command to verify the library. In the example above it’s SAVLIB followed by 4 spaces (10 total) and then QSYS (DLTF would be followed by 6 spaces and then QSYS (you get the idea))

NOTE: Use Uppercase only.

NOTE: Not all commands are allowed. You can’t use the CALL command (and some others) The display will highlight for non-eligible commands.

NOTE: EXIT POINTS take resources. I don’t recommend adding too many commands to QIBM_QCA_RCV_COMMAND

TO view / print the history log

ADDLIBLE CMDLOG

CALL CMDHIST
