RE: Security Audit Journal Receiver Maintenance

Larry,

The suggestions to write your own program are good. However, depending upon
your compliance/audit/security reporting requirements and, of course, DASD
availability for receiver retention, you'll have to work out just how much
you can/should keep on-line. If you can get away with it, I always
recommend a "trailing month" on-line availability methodology, where the
prior calendar month is available until the current month ends (maximum of
62 days worth of receivers).

I wrote a couple articles for IT Jungle on the subject a few years ago.
Here are the links:

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if most people manually administer (cleanup)
their security audit journal receivers, or if any little automation ideas
are out there. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Thanks, Larry
