Specifying Business Components and Business Component Fields for Audit

You administer the business component and the business component fields to be audited.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring and Using Audit Trail.

To configure the business component and business component fields to be audited

1. Navigate to the Administration - Audit Trail screen.
2. In the Audit Trail Buscomp list, create a new record and complete the necessary fields.

   Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Assoc	Specifies whether to audit associations with the child business components in the Child Buscomp list. See Specifying Parent-Child Associations for Audit.
   Copy	Select if you want to audit the Copy operation.
   End Date	Date on which the auditing stops. To turn Audit Trail off for an individual business component, set the End Date to a date that has already passed.
   New	Select if you want to audit the New operation.
   Restriction Type	Specifies whether there is a rule determining who gets audited.
   Start Date	Date on which the auditing starts.
   Update	Select if you want to audit the Update operation.

3. In the Field list, create a new record for the field you want to audit.
4. Repeat Step 3 until the Field list shows all the fields in that business component that you want to audit.

NOTE:  For any audit trail deployment, the combination of the number of fields audited and the number of audit records created by a given business process has performance implications. Auditing a large number of fields on a business component or auditing fields in a large number of business components may produce unacceptable performance that is counter to the overall business requirement.

To disable individual business components

1. Navigate to Administration - Audit Trail screen.
2. Use one of the following methods to disable Audit Trail:
   • In the Audit Trail Buscomp list, enter an end date prior to today's date in the End Date field.
   • In the Audit Trail Buscomp list, delete the record for the business component.
