Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Business Administrator's Guide

The extendedActions Attribute

Audit actions typically map to com.waveset.security.Right objects. When adding new Right objects, you must specify a unique two-character logDbKey, which will be stored in the database. You may encounter situations where there is no right to correspond to a particular action that must be audited. You can extend actions by adding them to the list of objects in the extendedActions attribute.

Each extendedActions object must include the attributes listed in Table 10–17.

Table 10–17 extendedAction Attributes

Attribute 

Type 

Description 

name

String 

The name of the action, which is used when constructing AuditEvents and during event filtering. 

displayName

String 

A message catalog key that represents the name of the action. 

logDbKey

String 

Two-character database key to use when storing this action in the Log table. 

See Audit Log Database Mappings for reserved values.

All customer-specific keys should start with the # symbol to prevent duplicate keys when new internal keys are added.
