Re: Active users

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are SQL services which will do any number of things.  Including but
not limited to:
- Your trick of WRKOBJLCK of the user profile
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=services-object-lock-info-view
- Find all of a users currently active jobs
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=services-active-job-info-table-function
(see CURRENT_USER_LIST_FILTER)
- Look at the joblog
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=services-joblog-info-table-function
- If you're into stone knives and bearskins and still spool up joblogs then
completed joblogs can be read with
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=services-spooled-file-data-table-function
- If you want to see who has an ifs file locked
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=services-ifs-object-lock-info-table-function
- Find out changed, accessed timestamps or if that IFS file is currently
checked out
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=services-ifs-object-statistics-table-function
But you may have to audit to get more details.
