Security journal receiver management

When monitoring your security, the operating system can log security events that occur on your system. These events are recorded in special system objects called journal receivers. You can set up journal receivers to record different types of security events, such as changing a system value or user profile, or an unsuccessful attempt to access an object. The level of auditing via the QAUDLVL system value has varying impacts on system performance and DASD utilization. The best practice recommendations include *AUTFAIL, *DELETE, *OBJMGT, *PGMFAIL, *SAVRST, and *SECURITY. See the accompanying documents for details regarding journal receiver management.
