Audit control

The QAUDCTL system value allows you to control whether auditing is performed.

Name in the character-based interface: QAUDCTL
Name in the iSeries™ Navigator interface: activate action auditing, activate object auditing, and do not audit objects in QTEMP.
Description: The QAUDCTL system value allows you to control whether auditing is performed. It functions like an on and off switch for the following:
- The QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2 system values.
- The auditing defined for objects using the Change Object Auditing (CHGOBJAUD) and Change DLO Auditing (CHGDLOAUD) commands.
- The auditing defined for users using the Change User Audit (CHGUSRAUD) command.
You can specify more than one value for the QAUDCTL system value, unless you specify *NONE.
Recommended Values: Allow the system to log events that are specified in the QAUDLVL system value (*AUDLVL); to log activity for objects that have object auditing defined (*OBJAUD); and to not audit objects in QTEMP (*NOQTEMP).

Table 1. Possible Values
Using the QAUDCTL system value
*NONE	No auditing of user actions and no auditing of objects is performed.
*OBJAUD	Auditing is performed for objects that have been selected using the CHGOBJAUD, CHGDLOAUD, or CHGAUD commands.
*AUDLVL	Auditing is performed for any functions selected on the QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2 system values and on the AUDLVL parameter of individual user profiles. The audit level for a user is specified using the Change User Audit (CHGUSRAUD) command.
*NOQTEMP	Auditing is not performed for most actions if the object is in QTEMP library. You must specify this value with either OBJAUD or AUDLVL.

Note: This system value is a restricted value. For information on how to restrict changes to security system values and a list of the restricted system values, see "Chapter 3. Security System Values" in the iSeries Security Reference.
