Good afternoon,
I'm looking for kind assistance from the AS400 admin gods out there.
I would like to pull all device descriptions (Workstation IDs mainly) in the system and hone in on just the "print device" & "output queue" fields to see what they're all mapped to for auditing purposes.
Reason being is because there's a rogue job log that keeps printing out hundreds of pages in system. We don't have spool file auditing either. I figure it would be nice to see what printer devices are mapped to each Workstation ID in our system. Then do a ctl+F, or use find function on the generated spool file report for example.
For now I've created a new writer in AS400 and I've Held the old writer. That way I can catch anything before it prints. I would appreciate a push in the right direction, or maybe help me rethink the issue. Even IBM support from our side was lost sadly. They simply advised us to do a SQL report. One can only do a "dspdevd ##" command, and choose 6=Print, but that's only for one device desc at a time.
I'm learning the ropes still, so I'm starting to read the CL Redbooks from IBM from scratch! Thanks.
