Hi Luis,

I am not sure about your installation or the role that particular user ID has there, but this is the general documentation for LAST_CONNECT_DATE:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/szs/3.2.0?topic=profiles-racf-field-descriptions#select_list_fields_racf_field_descs__LAST_CONNECT_DATE

Does that help? If not, can you tell me why the result is unexpected?

Regards,

Hi Luis

The system logger is a system task that gets started at IPL before RACF is around.  So it does not get a user ID assigned, unless somehow (ouch) you have to issue a manual restart later on in the game.  This is further illustrated when you go to SDSF DA display, the OWNER column (with the RACF user ID) is not filled in for those system tasks.

So, no RACINIT, no update of last use date on the USER profile or its connect group.

Hi Rob,

In addition to reviewing the STARTED class profiles (which did not help me identify the IXGLOGR account), how can I obtain information about users that are assigned to z/OS operating system address spaces (similar to IXGLOGR)?

Thank you in advance

Hi Luis,

I was thinking along the lines of what Rob wrote. Until I looked at the IXGLOGR userid across our 7 LPARs.

The userid does have a last connect and a last use populated with the date and time within the IPL window for the LPAR, see below. I did find an SMF Type 30 record for IXGLOGR in the IPL window with a time of approximately 0.1 of a second after the last connect/use time. I noted the owner for IXGLOGR STC on the SDSF DA panel is blank.

 I suspect how / when IXGLOGR is started during the IPL window may have a bearing on the fields being populated or not. For the STARTED profile IXGLOGR.* the only fields are, the userid (IXGLOGR) and TRUSTED is YES.

Hi Rob,

Can I use zSecure Admin or zSecure Audit to identify which users are associated with these types of address spaces that are started before RACF?

Hi Luis,

Something like this?

/* List address spaces with a last connect date before the last IPL date */newlist type=report_stc select userid:last_connect_date<<:system.ipldate sortlist procname(nd) complex :system.sysname,          procname userid userid:last_connect_date :system.ipldate
