Manage Included Sections in Logs

Create and set profile options to include Rule Details, Audit Trail, Task Level Configuration and Transaction History sections in the diagnostic logs for any pending or failed transactions in the transaction details page in the Transaction Console work area.

If your users have access to these sections, they can download logs with audit trail history, rule details, and review the configuration and approval history for tasks that need attention.

Audit Trail section shows approval history.
Rule Details section shows rule details for a transaction. This section is dependent on the inclusion of the audit trail.
Task Level Configuration section shows details of current task configuration in BPM Worklist for the process type of the selected transaction.
The Transaction History section shows all the approval stages a transaction has passed through based on the approval rule configuration. This section is dependent on the inclusion of the audit trail.

The sections’ inclusion in the logs is controlled using two profile options. Let’s look at their use and impact on logging.

HRC_TXN_TAC_DISABLE_RULE_AUDIT_TRAIL, a predefined profile option, disables the audit trail segment and rule details. If the audit trail is disabled, the task level configuration isn’t available and that section isn’t included. It also disables the Rule Details section. You might disable the audit trail and other sections in cases where there’s a performance issue.

HRC_TXN_TAC_DISABLE_EXTN_LOG disables the Task Level Configuration section. You need to create this profile option to use it.

Depending on the existence and settings of the profile options, different sections are included in the log.

HRC_TXN_TAC_DISABLE_RULE_AUDIT_TRAIL	Yes	True	Audit Trail, Rule Details, and Task Level Configuration sections not included. If HRC_TXN_TAC_DISABLE_EXTN_LOG is set to false or doesn’t exist, the Transaction History section is included.
HRC_TXN_TAC_DISABLE_RULE_AUDIT_TRAIL	Yes	Not set	Audit Trail, Rule Details, and Task Level Configuration sections not included. Only the Transaction History section is included, if the HRC_TXN_TAC_DISABLE_EXTN_LOG exists and is set to false or doesn’t exist.

If the HRC_TXN_TAC_DISABLE_RULE_AUDIT_TRAIL profile option is set to True, the Audit Trail, Rule Details, and Task Level Configuration sections aren’t included because they’re part of the audit trail segment, but the Transaction History section is included.
