I am following the security reference manual at
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ssw_ibm_i_76/pdf/sc415302.pdf
section "Changing to security level 40"
We already have the audit journal set up. I added *AUTFAIL and *PGMFAIL
and will monitor this with:
SELECT * FROM TABLE(
SYSTOOLS.AUDIT_JOURNAL_AF(
STARTING_TIMESTAMP => timestamp('2025-11-05-15.00.00')
))
-- where VIOLATION_TYPE IN('B', 'C', 'D', 'J', 'R', 'S')
;
Another step talks about "If you have any programs that were created before
Version 1 Release 3...". I should be able to find those with this, right?
select RELEASE_CREATED_ON, PI.*
from qsys2.program_info PI
-- where PROGRAM_LIBRARY = 'ROUTINES'
ORDER BY RELEASE_CREATED_ON
;
So far the earliest is V3R6M0. Since that is after "Version 1 Release 3" I
should be ok, right?
What is interesting is finding vendor supplied programs with V4R1M0 and a
TEXT_DESCRIPTION of "(C) 2024...". Bet you can't guess it's a vendor we're
knocking upside the head to get tested for 7.6, eh? I suppose they could
be generating on ancient stuff and restoring on newer to test.
