How can we detect all list of RACROUTE calls with LOG=NONE for all codes of IBM on OMVS? Is there any way to find out list of RACROUTE calls with LOG=NONE and fix them?

We have focused on why violations on IBM USS side sometimes are not logged . Our Security team have asked this question to support of our ESM (External Security Manager) product.

They advised us to contact with you to fix those issues for the USS RACROUTE calls, because BroadcomTop Secret responds to security calls and doesn't issue them. It is the application that is issuing theRACROUTE security call withLOG=NONE.

The external security manager (TSS,ACF2,RACF) will respect the LOG=NONE which means don't log/audit the violations, don't write security violations messages.

LOG=NONE setting on the RACROUTE security call will not and cannot be overridden by external ESM (External Security Manager) such as Top Secret, ACF2 and RACF.
