Configuring Auditing Framework

All operations performed by Enterprise Manager users such as creating users, granting privileges, starting a remote job, must be recorded and audited to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SAS 70). This act defines standards an auditor must use to assess the contracted internal controls of a service organization. Enable the auditing framework in Enterprise Manager so that all operations performed on credentials are recorded.

Step 1: Enable Auditing	Step 2: Update Audit Settings
Run the following command: emcli enable_audit For example, emcli enable_audit	Run the following command: emcli update_audit_settings -audit_switch="ENABLE" -operations_to_enable="ALL" -externalization_switch="ENABLE" -directory="<directory_to_archive_audit_data_files>" -file_size="<file_size_in_bytes>" -data_retention_period="data_retention_period_in_days" For example, emcli update_audit_settings -audit_switch="ENABLE" -operations_to_enable="ALL" -externalization_switch="ENABLE" -directory="u01/Oracle/auditdata" -file_size="10000" -data_retention_period="60"
