If you are using ACF2 you can set LOG to the program on the PROGRAM class, I think RACF doesn’t log FASTAUTH requests but ACF2 does.
T R(PGM) RECKEY myprog ADD(UID(*) LOG) We actually use a homegrown ICHRTX00 exit to log program usage which works very well and it's "free" but like Charles said, it's not for the faint-hearted.

You are basically correct -- SMF will not do the job you want it to do. SMF 30 reports the "high CPU usage" program of the jobstep. That might be a different program than the jobstep program. It's an additional clue, but it is not the solution to your query. I think the conclusion here was that there were some third-party products that do this. IIRC there is a CSV exit point that audits LOADs, but writing exits is not for the faint-hearted, and performance impact is a concern. There is always the "you bet your job" approach. Move any questionable programs into a shadow copy of the load library and wait for the screams.

Is there any way to use SMF data to track real-time usage of programs which are not main programs but are called by other programs? We were under the impression that only executions of main programs (PGM=) were recorded with SMF. Scanning program sources for called programs is unsatisfactory for us since the call could be dynamic (name of program contained in a variable) or conditional on a particular set of circumstances that never occurs in practice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
