A "kind" of STATEOD parameter similar to what exists in CICS

SMF 123 records are written at the stop of the zOSconnect server or every 20 requests or at each request if it is set in the server.xml (bad idea for production environment)

We would like to have a parameter similar to SATEOD in CICS to write the SMF123 at the end of the day, so that a request that was executed, is not written in the SMF file of the next day

    We have further investigated this IDEA and would love to know from our users if the following proposal would meet the requirement as layed out in the IDEA?

    A possible solution to this idea would be to enhance the audit interceptor to write buffered request data to SMF at a specific time (specified by HHmmss) for API Provider and API Requester

    The following configuration attributes are proposed to be added to the auditInterceptor:

    apiProviderEndOfDay = [true/false] Indicates whether or not API provider SMF records should be written at the end of each day. Default is false.
    apiProviderEndOfDayTime = The time of day (HHmmss format) when API provider SMF records should be written. Default is 23:59:59.

    apiRequesterEndOfDay = [true/false] Indicates whether or not API requester SMF records should be written at the end of each day. Default is false.
    apiRequesterEndOfDayTime = The time of day (HHmmss format) when API requester SMF records should be written. Default is 23:59:59.

    The following messages are proposed to be added:

    BAQR08nnI = The audit interceptor {name} is set to write any buffered API provider request data to SMF at {time} each day.
    BAQR08nnI = The audit interceptor {name} is set to write any buffered API requester request data to SMF at {time} each day.
    BAQR08nnE = Invalid end-of-day time format: {time}. Expected HHmmss format.

    Please let us know whether an implementation using these configuration attributes and messages meet the requirement detailed in this idea?
