Network Accounting Facility
The Network Accounting Facility (NAF) keeps accounting and audit records at these levels:
- user
- terminal
- application
- session
The records may be directed either to a BSAM journal dataset or to the active System Management Facility (SMF) dataset. CL/SuperSession must be APF-authorized for SMF recording.
You can use the NAF data to:
- monitor application and network resource usage
- evaluate system security measures
- perform network planning and capacity management
- provide input for network billing
CL/SuperSession generates NAF records.
