Configuring control files for job audit information
RICOH ProcessDirector creates audit files that provide information about a specific job when it deletes
the job from the system. Control files that use RICOH ProcessDirector symbol notation determine the values that RICOH ProcessDirector writes to the audit files for a job.
- Log in to the primary computer as the RICOH ProcessDirector system user ( aiw1 is the default).
- Navigate to
/aiw/aiw1/samples/audit/
. - Copy the control file you want to modify to the
/aiw/aiw1/control_files/audit/
directory. - Use an editor, such as vi, to open the control file whose content you want to view or modify:
Audit control file for jobs Purpose job_info_properties.cfg
Defines the content of the jobnumber.yy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.job_info_properties.cfg.csv
audit file in the/aiw/aiw1/audit/Job
directory. If the AFP Support feature is installed, records JCL information about jobs that are sent through Download for z/OS or AFP Download Plus.job_properties.cfg
Defines the content of the jobnumber.yy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.job_properties.cfg.csv
audit file. Records basic job information for all jobs.line2afp_properties.cfg
Defines the content of the jobnumber.yy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.line2afp_properties.cfg.csv
audit file. Records information that is specific to jobs whose workflow includes a step that uses line2afp to convert the job to the AFP format. This file is provided by the AFP Support feature.print_properties.cfg
Defines the content of the jobnumber.yy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.print_properties.cfg.csv
audit file. Records information that is specific to jobs whose workflow includes a print step.transform_properties.cfg
Defines the content of the jobnumber.yy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.transform_properties.cfg
audit file. Records processing information that is specific to jobs whose workflow includes a step that calls a data transform program. - Review the properties that the control file specifies, and either add or delete properties
as required. Initially specify the properties by their RICOH ProcessDirector database names in a comma-separated string. The second string that repeats the job
properties and that includes quotation marks, delimits the comma-separated value string
in the resulting audit file. These are examples of the strings formats in the
job_properties.cfg
file, and how the audit information displays in the resultingjobnumber.yy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.job_properties.cfg.csv
audit file:Job.ID,Job.CustomerName,Job.Description "Job.ID","Job.CustomerName","Job.Description"
Job.ID,Job.CustomerName,Job.Description "10000021.8","IBM","Monthly workload statistics"
- Save the changed file to the
/aiw/aiw1/control_files/audit/
directory and close the file. - To prevent an audit file from being written, delete the corresponding control file
from the
/aiw/aiw1/control_files/audit/
directory.
