CPSM Audit Log needed for all CPSM EYUDREP resource changes

CICS provides complete audit logging of all changes made either through CEDA or CEMT. For example, a CEDA change to a program results in this in the MSGUSR DD output:

TC20 CEDA CVMGT1 BEFORE 06/14/17 18:48:35 ALTER PROGRAM(GJTABCD) GROUP(TESTGJT) RELOAD(NO) RESIDENT(NO) USAGE(NORMAL)
USELPACOPY(NO) STATUS(ENABLED) RSL(0) CEDF(YES) DATALOCATION(ANY) EXECKEY(CICS)
CONCURRENCY(QUASIRENT) API(CICSAPI) DYNAMIC(NO) EXECUTIONSET(FULLAPI) JVM(NO)
HOTPOOL(NO) DEFINETIME(05/23/17 18:24:52) CHANGETIME(06/14/17 18:48:35)
CHANGEUSRID(CVMGT1) CHANGEAGENT(CSDAPI) CHANGEAGREL(0700)
TC20 CEDA CVMGT1 AFTER 06/16/17 21:34:10 ALTER PROGRAM(GJTABCD) GROUP(TESTGJT) RELOAD(NO) RESIDENT(NO) USAGE(NORMAL)
USELPACOPY(NO) STATUS(ENABLED) RSL(0) CEDF(YES) DATALOCATION(ANY) EXECKEY(USER)
CONCURRENCY(QUASIRENT) API(CICSAPI) DYNAMIC(NO) EXECUTIONSET(FULLAPI) JVM(NO)
HOTPOOL(NO) DEFINETIME(05/23/17 18:24:52) CHANGETIME(06/16/17 21:34:10)
CHANGEUSRID(CVMGT1) CHANGEAGENT(CSDAPI) CHANGEAGREL(0700)

And a change made with CEMT is logged as:

DFHAP1900 06/16/2017 21:35:35 CVMGT70K IYEGTC20 CVMGT1 CEMT SET PROGRAM(GJTABCD) STATUS(DISABLED) RESP(NORMAL) RESP2(0).

But changes made to the CPSM EYUDREP are not fully logged. For example, if a CSYSDEF is changed, we receive this

EYUXD0002I CVMGT0C9 Update CONTEXT(CVMGT0P9) MAJOR_ID(CSYSDEF) MAJOR_NAME(CICSRGN1) MAJOR_VER(NONE)
EYUXD0002I CVMGT0C9 MINOR_ID(NONE) MINOR_NAME(NONE) MINOR_VER(NONE) By User(CVMGT1) On System(CVMGT0C9)
EYUXD0002I CVMGT0C9 Date(16717) Time(21:36:56).
EYUTS0015I CVMGT0C9 Topology Update of CICS System CICSRGN1 Initiated.
EYUTS0017I CVMGT0C9 Topology Update of CICS System CICSRGN1 Complete.

so we know that SOME kind of change was made, but we have no idea what that change was. CPSM needs to be updated so that the full before/after values of any resource changed are listed, just as they are with CICS CEDA CSD changes.

    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12-24 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
