Specifying Business Components and Business Component Fields for Audit

You administer the business component and the business component fields to be audited from the Administration - Audit Trail screen. You cannot audit business components that are based on external data sources.

NOTE:  If a field in the business component has a TYPE value of DTYPE_CURRENCY, the Exchange Date Field property for the field, which has a default value of Exchange Date, and the Currency Code Field property for the field, which has a default value of Currency Code, must have a value. You can set these values in Siebel Tools.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring and Using Siebel 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	Comments
   Update	Select the check box if you want to audit the Update operation.
   New	Select the check box if you want to audit the New operation.
   Export	Select the check box if you want to audit the Export operation.
   Assoc	Select the check box to audit associations with the child business components in the Child Buscomp list. For more information, see Specifying Parent-Child Associations for Audit.
   Restriction Type	Select a value that determines who is audited.
   Start Date	Select the date on which the auditing starts.
   End Date	Select the date on which the auditing stops. Disable Siebel Audit Trail for an individual business component by setting the End Date to a date that has already passed.

3. In the Field list, create a new record for the field you want to audit.

   NOTE:  If you do not create at least one new record for a field on the business component, nothing is audited.

   Some of the fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Field	Select the field name you want to audit. The details of the selected field appear in the Table Name, Column Name, and Join columns.
   Read Field Value	Select the check box if you want to store the field value during the audits of read operations.
   Table Name	Displays the table to which the column belongs.
   Column Name	Displays the column name of the selected field.
   Join	Displays the join name associated with the column. You can audit only fields that are standard joins. Standard joins apply to existing fields in existing business components. You cannot audit customized implicit joins. Customized implicit joins are not visible in Siebel Tools in the Joins list for the business component. For more information about implicit joins, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

4. Repeat Step 3 until the Field list shows all the fields in that business component that you want to audit.
