Audit Trail Modes

The Siebel Web Client supports the following choice of audit trail modes:

• File auditing. An audit trail can be written to files and later imported into the database, providing better performance.
• Database auditing. An audit trail can be written directly into the database, supporting both remote users and replicated databases. Changes to an audit trail field are cached in the application. Exiting from the Siebel application and restarting it writes all cached changes to the database. Alternatively, when the cache size is reached, all cached entries are automatically written to the database even without exiting from the application.
