Audit management

The audit management version 6.2 incorporates these features in Enterprise Server audit management utility:

• Audit-data is stored in a set of files, instead of in a single file. Multiple files enable better management than a single large file.
• Each transaction is identified by a transaction header, which logs useful information about the transaction, such as the corresponding user and time. In addition, the data is organized for each transaction. Each transaction has a header followed by all audit-data, which enables you to track the changes that users have made.
• When the audit-data is being written, information of audited columns in tables is also stored in audit files. If the table data dictionary is later changed, you can still interpret old audit-data with the stored column information.
• Table level commands affecting table data such as create table, clear table, and drop table, are also logged by the audit server.
• Audit management such as printing audit files and display audit sequences is specified with the sessions that belong to the Audit Management business object.
• The transaction notification server sends a message to the audit file, which indicates when a transaction has successfully been completed.
