IBM zSecure CARLa Auditing and Reporting Language

Course overview

Learn how to use CARLa to create reports for RACF, SMF, and other z/OS subsystems. Custom output includes: reports, commands, emails, XML output, or modified zSecure RACF functions.

Learn the basics of the IBM Security zSecure programming language CARLa. This course teaches you to use the CARLa programming language to create reports for RACF, SMF, UNIX Systems Services (USS), CICS, DB2, and RACF command generation. You spent approximately 40 percent of the course on hands-on lab exercises, where you produce CARLa code that you can use for effective management and reporting on RACF, SMF, USS, and other subsystems. You learn to use CARLa to create custom reports, commands, emails, XML output, or modify existing zSecure RACF functions to fit with your installation's requirements. In addition, you learn how to automate these functions by using them in scheduled batch jobs.
