Viewing Audit Trail Records

After you have set up the fields, operations, responsibilities, positions, and employees to be audited, you can read the results of the audit trails in the Audit Trail view and the Audit Trail Items view.

Audit Trail View for File Auditing Mode

When you use file auditing mode, the Audit Trail list in the Audit Trail view provides a list of files that have been audited for each user, business component, and session. The Audit Trail Items list gives details of the selected file record. You have to import files into the database to have a comprehensive view; otherwise, you can view records on a file-by-file basis only.

CAUTION:  You should purge and archive your records from the Siebel audit table S_AUDIT_ITEM regularly to prevent the table from becoming too large. Carry out these operations directly at the database level using native SQL. There is no EIM interface table corresponding to the S_AUDIT_ITEM table.

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

To import audit trail items from a file into the Siebel database

1. Navigate to Audit Trail screen > Audit Trail List view.
2. Select a record in the Audit Trail Buscomp list.
3. In the Audit Trail Item list, click the menu button and select Import Audit Trail Item.

   The audit trail items are imported into the table.

4. From the Show drop-down list, select Audit Trail Items.

   NOTE:  If you go back to the Audit Trail view and try to import audit trail items that you have already imported, you will not be able to import them.

To view audit trail records and record details
