Good News Everybody!

Please report any problems to david (at) midrange.com.




One thing we noticed was the amount of 'Click X' (closed the window using
the X in the upper right corner) in the REASON column. We started asking
the users why. Got anything from 'I didn't know I was supposed to sign
off' to 'session frozen/stuck'. It pointed out that we had a set of
programs that had some issues, and needed some fixing.

The manager spot checks her employees to make sure the clock in/out times
and sign on times are reasonably close.

One thing I did omit in my example was I replaced the number of days with
docsys.@vTmpSql03 and issued this command before the run of the SQL Script.
-- Set the number of Days
CREATE OR REPLACE VARIABLE docsys.@vTmpSql03 numeric(6) DEFAULT '3'
That way I can change the days with minimal work.

I also put this in an RPGLE program so the manager can run it and create a
report and csv.

Subject: Re: Disabled User ID without a corresponding invalid sign-in

I had a request some time ago to track sign on/off and disables etc. I use
this sql if you need to go back more than 3 days then change the 3 to what
you need. I run this in ACS Run SQL Script. I also put it in a program so
the manager can run it and see what happened.

Thank you Rob,



I got nothing from the journal history, I even added PW and SO to the
list. We had a user that I know used the incorrect password on Friday
enough times to get disabled, and that doesn't even show up.



I used *curchain. *first (date) and *last.



I did apply the latest Cume over the weekend, prior to that we were 1
back
on v7.4.



I have rarely found a need for the journaling, and haven't really looked
at it. So it may not be configured to capture this information, or I
could
be missing something in what I am doing .

If you're very current on OS and PTF's you can try the AF and CP entries
at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=services-audit-journal-entry



If you're not too far behind you can try those same entries here:



https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=services-display-journal-table-function

and get remote port, remote IP address, etc.
