- DBDOMAIN
- Database domain definition
- DBJBSTRM
- Database Job Scheduler definition
- DBJOB
- Database job definition
- DBPARM
- Database parameter definition

- DBRES
- Database resource definition
- DBSEC
- Database security
- DBUSER
- Database user definition
- DBVARTAB
- Database variable table definition
- DBWKCLS
- Database workstation class definition
- DBWKSTN
- Database workstation definition
- PLAN
- Plan (for header only)
- PLDOMAIN
- Plan domain
- PLFILE
- Plan file
- PLJBSTRM
- Plan Job Scheduler
- PLJOB
- Plan job
- PLPROMPT
- Plan prompt
- PLRES
- Plan resource
- PLWKSTN
- Plan workstation
- action_type
- Displays what action
was performed on the object. The appropriate values for this field
are dependent on which action is being performed.
For the plan, the <action_type> can be ADD, DELETE, MODIFY, or INSTALL.
For the database, the ADD, DELETE and MODIFY actions are recorded for workstation, workstation classes, domains, users, jobs, job streams, calendars, prompts, resources and parameters in the database.
The <action_type> field also records the installation of a new Security file. When makesec is run, HCL Workload Automation records it as an INSTALL action for a Security definition object.
LIST and DISPLAY actions for objects are not logged.
For parameters, the command line with its arguments is logged.
- workstation
- Displays the HCL Workload Automation workstation from which the user is performing the action.
- user_ID
- Displays the logon user who performed the particular action. On Windows operating systems, if the user who installed WebSphere Application Server was a domain user, for Log Types stageman and conman this field contains the fully qualified user ID domain\user.
- object_name
- Displays the fully qualified name of the object. The format of
this field depends on the object type as shown here:
- DATABASE
- N/A

- <calendar>
- DBDOMAIN
- <domain>
- DBJBSTRM
- <workstation>#<job_stream>
- DBJOB

- PLPROMPT
- [<workstation>#]<prompt>
- PLRES

- action_data_fields
- Displays the action-specific data fields. The format of this data is dependent on the <action_type> field.
