Improved Auditing the Basic IBM i Job Scheduler Merged

Currently, auditing of the Basic IBM i does not give you details of what was actually added, changed or removed in the System Audit Journal.

Whilst you can enable auditing on the QDFTJOBSCD object and the commands that influence it, as described in the following two links https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6245364
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/tracking-changes-job-scheduler

This does not give you a consistent and canonical record that you can present to an external auditor or SIEM.


Use Case:

An Auditor or SEIM wants to track the changes made to the Job Scheduler, they would want to know not only that the change was made but also the before and after images of the Job Scheduled Entry so they could see changed not only to the command being run but also changes to the Job Scheduled Entry itself.
