Re: [U2] Logging program execution in Unidata?

Phil, thanks for the suggestion.  This isn't going to work for us as we catalog our programs and don't generally "catalog direct".  I.e. we don't have VOC pointers (except when someone forgets and does FIBR from within AE).

Thanks for the idea though; I learned two new things today - off to check out R pointers now!

Maybe convert the VOC entries for the programs to R pointers. The r pointer would point to a file with the original VOC entry for the program. Then in attribute 4 of the R pointer put a security subroutine which logs the calling details for each call etc. That way you can gain a picture of when a program is called and how often and by who and from where.....

Subject: [U2] Logging program execution in Unidata?

We're looking into a major conversion late this year, which will involve checking out several thousand programs (mostly opens, reads or writes).  Some programs are run many times a day, whereas some were throwaway and haven't been touched in years.  It would be great to get some sense of which ones are active.

We unfortunately don't have a wrapper program, wondering if anyone has run into this before - is it possible to somehow log when a program is executed in Unidata?  Any magic triggers, directory flags or other audit flags that can get turned on?

Any ideas gratefully received,
Ian
