Re: : Best Way to Check if a Library Has At Least 1 Changed Object

I may retreat on using the audit journal - it doesn't seem to capture object changes, only object creates (CO) and deletes (DO). There are also ZC and ZR but they do not seem to get written using any settings of QAUDLVL. Now I've not tried turning on object-level auditing yet - but that's a real pain!!!

But DSPOBJD doesn't show changes to members of files - the member change date might be later than the file change date.

This is not a simple thing to solve, as I learned recently in another context.

Looks like either the DSPOBJD method or Vern mentioned object auditing.
I'm going to check into that as well.
Thanks.

Probably you can do something like :
DSPOBJD OBJ(PVIDAL) OBJTYPE(*LIB) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(QGPL/LIBSTATUS)

After 24hrs you can do something like:
DSPOBJD OBJ(PVIDAL) OBJTYPE(*LIB) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/CURLIBSTS)

You can compare the 2 files via the object name and compare maybe these
2 fields:
ODLDAT - Change date (MMDDYY) ODLTIM - Change time (HHMMSS)
If you determine that these fields are different between the two, you
can back this library up.

Finally, make sure that QTEMP/CURLIBSTS gets copied over QGPL/LIBSTATUS.

Just a quick thought.... not tested obviously....
