Environment

Fact:  NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries

Fact:  PSAudit

Fact:  Data Auditing and Reporting (DAR)

Situation

Symptom: Error: File *ALL in library ###### does not exist or you are not authorized to it.

Symptom: DAR File Access Report DDRPTA fails.

Resolution

This is a known issue that has been reported to Development for a resolution.

The report can be utilized for individual files but not with the *ALL variable.

A possible workaround is to use the System Auditing and Reporting (SAR) report; Objects Accessed (Read).  The menu path options to this report from command PSMENU are as follows:  1-1-5-3-8.  A prerequisite for this report is that the Object Auditing (OBJAUD) parameter of the object(s) must specify *ALL.  The OBJAUD parameter value can be changed using the Change Object Auditing (CHGOBJAUD) command.  System Value QAUDCTL needs to have *OBJAUD selected.

 

Cause

Program that verifies existance of files and authority to them needs revision.
