Verifying Audit Trail Configuration

The following steps are part of the verification process to make sure that the business component and business component fields were specified correctly.

To verify audit trail records

  1. In your Siebel application, go to the view for the business component that you want to audit.
  2. Make a change to the data in that view.
  3. If you are using database auditing, verify audit creation as follows:
    1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Audit Trail > Audit Trail Items.
    2. In the Audit Trail Items list, make sure there is a new record showing the changes that you made to the business component by querying the business component and field values.
  4. If you are using file auditing mode, verify audit creation as follows:
    1. Exit and restart the application.
    2. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Audit Trail > Audit Trail.

      NOTE:  The Host Computer name in the Audit Trail record is the name of the machine on which the object manager is running. This field is not configurable.

    3. Verify that there is a new record in the Audit Trail list from your previous session and the corresponding Audit Trail Item list displays the changes you made to the business component.
