Description
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.
Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).
The JOURNALING statement tells z/VM CP to include the journaling facility and to enable the system being initialized to set and query the journaling facility.
