What did the TSM admins do?

Want to know what all TSM administrators did in the last 24 hours in TSM?

# dsmadmc -comma -id=readonly -password=readonly query actlog s=ANR2017I begind=-1 begint=09:00 endd=today endt=09:00 | grep -v -i readonly | grep -v -i ibm-oc-server1
This assumes you have an administrator account configured, known as readonly with password readonly, which has no privileges.

This command will show you all administrator actions from 9 AM yesterday until 9 AM today.

In case you wish to create a readonly user within TSM, run the following command:
register admin readonly readonly contact="Readonly account'
There is no need to grant any authority to the readonly account. By just creating the readonly account, this account can perform read actions, such as querying the activity log, and can not make any changes.
