Subject: How to see who has signed onto an IBM i and what they are.

I have this SQL that me and our developers use on a daily basis to see who has answered messages on our systems. What date/time, the actual message and the response. It runs on 5250 or ACS SQL (my preferred method and is pretty quick. It can be run for a single day or a range of days.

Perhaps it can be modified for the purpose you want. Not sure but thought I'd throw it out there.
It may be a starting point and if not, you have something to use as it is.

This is it ... sorry if the email before this one got cut off on the SQL.

Is there a way to see who has signed onto an IBM i and what they are doing afterwards?

Maybe some history files out there somewhere?

Maybe do a DSPLOG? That will at least tell you when jobs started and ended, and under what user.

Does not DSPLOG only show for the user that you are signed on as??

Thank you for the quick response.
