Using Siebel Audit Trail with Siebel Remote

If your Siebel implementation includes Siebel Audit Trail, then you can view audit trail records for successfully synchronized remote client transactions and other audit trail records, provided that your computer is connected to the headquarters database or to a regional node that includes Siebel Audit Trail.

The headquarters database must audit all of the fields that regional nodes audit. A regional node is not required to audit all of the fields that the headquarters database audits.

If the following requirements are met, then the user who is using the remote client can view audit trail records while using the local database:

• Siebel Audit Trail must be functioning correctly on the Siebel Server that Siebel Remote uses to synchronize the remote client.
• The remote client must use a local Siebel runtime repository that was published while Siebel Audit Trail is enabled for the correct business components.
• To view the audit trail for an audited record, the user must possess visibility to this record.

For more information, see Overview of Replication Manager and Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

To use Siebel Audit Trail with Siebel Remote

1. Start a remote client that connects to the headquarters database or a regional node where Siebel Audit Trail is implemented.

   Do not use a remote client that connects to the local database of a remote client.

2. Navigate to the Audit Trail screen, and then the Audit Trail Items view.

   Alternatively, you can choose a screen for a business component that uses auditing. For example, you can navigate to the Assets screen, click an asset, and then choose the Audit Trail link.

3. Use a typical query to locate the record you must modify.

   The fields of the Audit Trail Items list display information about the transaction, as described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Source	A value of Sync indicates an audit trail record that Siebel Remote created as the result of a transaction that it successfully synchronized.
   Date	Displays the date and time that the original transaction occurred on the remote client.
   Synchronization Date	Displays the date and time that Siebel Remote synchronized the transaction to the current server.
