What can I do with this system value?

Specifies the default object auditing value of newly created objects. The object auditing value of an object determines if an auditing entry is sent to the system auditing journal in the QSYS library when the object is used or changed. The auditing entry is sent to the auditing journal only if auditing is currently active on the system. To start auditing, select Activate action auditing on the System page.

The following are possible options:

None (*NONE)
No auditing entries are sent for the object when it is used or changed.
User settings (*USRPRF)
Auditing entries are sent for the object when it is used or changed by a user who is currently being audited. If the user who uses or changes this object is not being audited, no auditing entries are sent.
Changes to objects (*CHANGE)
Auditing entries are sent for the object when it is changed.
All access of objects (*ALL)
Auditing entries are sent for the object when it is used or changed.
Not available (*NOTAVL)
This value is displayed if the user does not have authority to view the auditing value. You cannot set the system value to not available (*NOTAVL). This value is only displayed when a user accessing the system value does not have either All object (*ALLOBJ) or Audit (*AUDIT) special authority.

Note: To view this auditing system value, you must have All object (*ALLOBJ) or Audit (*AUDIT) special authority. If you do not have the required authority, the Auditing category is not displayed in iSeries Navigator. In addition, if you access this system value in the character-based interface, the not available (*NOTAVL) value is displayed.
