  • iSee Authority Collector - Objects
    Contains 1 Component(s)

    Part 2 of the Authority Collector series….The authority collector is a feature that was introduced in the IBM i operating system back in 7.3!! So it’s certainly not new, BUT it’s incredibly powerful. In this iSee we will show you the Objects support for the authority collector. What does this mean ? When enabled you can ‘watch’ 1 or more objects, every time those objects are accessed, the flights recorded is updated. This can give you an amazing view on who is actually touching an object for ANY reason. Might be interesting to turn this on for say some database and actually see who is touching that object. A very powerful tool in helping to understand how your applications on your system are used.
