This topic discusses how to audit program access to the relational database directories.
Accesses to the relational database directory are recorded in the security auditing journal when either one of the items listed here is true.
With the *SYSMGT value, the server audits all accesses made with the following commands:
The relational database directory is a database file (QSYS/QADBXRDBD) that can be read directly without the directory entry commands.
Prior to V5R2, relational database (RDB) directory file QADBXRDBD in library QSYS was built with operational authority granted to *PUBLIC. Beginning in V5R2, that's no longer the case. Therefore, existing programs that access the RDB directory using this file might no longer run correctly. Unless you have *ALLOBJ special authority, you will have to access the logical file named QADBXRMTNM, which is built over QADBXRDBD. To audit direct accesses to this file, set auditing on with the Change Object Auditing (CHGOBJAUD) command.
