Re: catch streamfile creation in ifs -- MIDRANGE-L

And you don't need to use it, as the CCSID info for the file and path names is right there, for using iconv to get it out of Unicode. I saw a CCSID of 13488 on our V5R1 system.

I wonder about the wisdom of this approach - it will be likely that the journal receivers will be huge, as after images are recorded, as well as commitment control stuff - all kinds of stuff. I think using the audit journal might be better - setting it up for existing objects is a bit daunting but for detecting new objects, it might just be the ticket. You can set up auditing on a directory, then any objects created in it will generate an entry code 'T', entry type 'CO' for 'Create object'. It has the object name in both Unicode and EBCDIC. Layout is in Appendix F of the Security Reference Manual. It will not set up auditing on objects in subdirectories.

Looking in the Information Center it looks like the B1 record returns the

And I personally don't think an API name of Qp0lGetPathFromFileID is all
that 'terrible'...

Stefan,

You will not find a reference to the stream file directly, IIRC.

In the portion of the datastructure for OBJECT and LIBRARY you will get the
path ID (16 bytes). To retrieve that you need a terribly named API (do not
know the name right now), which will return '/subdir', the path you are
journalling.

I wrote a not well tested monitor PGM for that. If interested I will post
the code.

Then use a utility, like DIR, that can be found on this list (search for
opendir API) and one of the list members offer a download from his office's
website. With this utility you can list the streamfiles in that DIR.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
