Auditing Serial Data

This chapter covers the following topics:

Understanding Auditing

Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager (OPSM) gives you the ability to audit the changes or activity that occur to serial data in the OPSM database. The audit trail provides information on all changes made through the OPSM pages themselves, direct integrations with Oracle E-Business Suite, and the web service processes (add, update, and delete). Audit information for each change includes:

The Audit Trail Setup page in OPSM gives administrators the flexibility to define which fields are audited within each business object based on their business requirements. All columns in each business object are available for audit. OPSM delivers the application without any attributes selected for auditing. The business objects equate to the OPSM tables. The descriptions related to all of the columns in the OPSM database can be viewed using SQL Developer.

After you set up the audit trail and activity has occurred in the system, you will use the Audit Trail History page in OPSM to review the results of the audit and export the results to Excel if you choose. Recording and auditing of this serial data can assist you in being 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.

Business Objects

OPSM provides several business objects that are available for auditing. This table lists the business objects in the order that they appear in the Audit Trail Setup page along with their descriptions. Some of the business objects are listed multiple times because the hierarchy is based on the relationship between the business object. You only have to set up one instance of the business objects and it will apply to all instances. You can select any of these business objects when setting up the audit trail:

Context Attributes

The system uses a user key as a unique identifier for a record that is being affected by an add, change, or delete activity. The user key may not provide enough information for you to quickly identify the record that was affected. OPSM provides context attributes which give you user-friendly information which is easier to recognize and enables you to easily isolate the record in question. For example, if a change is made on the product detail record, and the product_detail_id is the user key, then the identifier may be 111538. By adding context attributes, OPSM can display the product code and the product UOM (1234-5645-55 - EA) which you can use to search for within the Maintain Products page.

    To Remove All of the Business Objects from the Audit Trail Setup

    1. Clear the Audit check box next to the Audit Top Node business object name.

      Note: The attributes are still selected for all of the business objects that you were auditing and have not been removed. At a later date you could come back and select to audit all of the business objects again by selecting the Audit check box next to the Audit Top Node and saving.

    2. Click the Save button to save your work.

    To Remove a Business Object from the Audit Trail Setup

    1. Clear the Audit check box next to the business object name.

    2. Click the Save button to save your work.

    To Add Back a Business Object that was Previously Removed from the Audit Trail Setup

    1. Select the Audit check box next to a business object that still has attributes selected.

    2. Click the Save button to save your work.

    To Add Additional Business Objects and Attributes to the Audit Trail Setup

    1. Follow the same steps as if you were setting up the audit trail.

      For more information, see Setting Up the Audit Trail.

    To Add Additional Attributes to a Business Object or to Remove Attributes from a Business Object in the Audit Trail Setup

    1. Select a business object name that is being auditing in the tree (left side of page). Click the object Name. A check mark in the Audit column means that particular business object has been selected for auditing.

      The existing attributes that are being audited for that business object name display in the Audited Attributes region.

    2. Select Create from the Actions menu or click the Create icon located at the top of the Audited Attributes table.

      The Select and Add Audit Attributes dialog box appears displaying all of the available attributes that can be audited for that business object along with the attributes that have already been selected.

Use this procedure to export audit trail setup information to Excel:

To Export Audit Trail Setup Information to Excel

  1. Navigate to the Audit Trail Setup page.

  2. Select Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager in the Application field.

    The system creates a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file (.xls extension) that lists all of the business objects that have been selected for audit and those that have not, and a dialog box appears asking if you want to open the Excel spreadsheet or if you want to save the spreadsheet.

  4. Open or save the Excel spreadsheet.

Synchronizing Audit Trail Setup Information

Use the Audit Trail Setup page in Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager (OPSM) to synchronize any additions or updates to the audit business objects and their associated attributes. For example, let's say you accept and install a patch that is delivered from OPSM and in that patch changes or additions will occur to tables or fields within the audit business objects in OPSM. In that case, you would synchronize the audit business objects that display on the Audit Trail Setup page to those that appear in the actual database so that the new or updated information is available for auditing in OPSM. Using the Synchronize action on the Audit Trail Setup page enables you to perform that synchronization.

Use this procedure to synchronize audit trail setup information:

To Synchronize Audit Trail Setup Information

  1. Navigate to the Audit Trail Setup page.

  2. Select OPSM in the Application field.

    All of the business objects defined by OPSM display in the Objects region of the page in a tree format. A check mark in the Audit column means that particular business object has been selected for auditing.

  3. Select Synchronize from the Actions menu in the Objects region.

    The business objects and attributes are synchronized.

  4. Click the Save button to save your work.
