How You Audit Oracle HCM Cloud Business Objects
You can record and later retrieve audit information about the creation, update, and deletion of Oracle HCM Cloud business objects. Audit information can be recorded, regardless of whether business objects are created individually or by bulk upload.
This audit information is stored without user intervention. This topic summarizes how to manage audit policies and access the audit reports.
Audit Policies
You create audit policies to identify:
-
Business objects to audit
-
The attributes of the selected business objects to audit
Therefore, you can audit changes to a subset of a selected business object's attributes, if appropriate.
Enabling and Disabling Audit
By default, auditing is disabled for all applications. To enable auditing for Oracle HCM Cloud, you:
-
Configure business objects for audit on the Configure Business Object Attributes page.
-
Enable auditing for Oracle Fusion Applications on the Manage Audit Policies page.
Auditing begins for the specified objects immediately.
To stop auditing an entire object, you can deselect the object on the Configure Business Object Attributes page. You can also select different attributes for audit at any time. If necessary, you can disable all auditing for Oracle Fusion Applications on the Manage Audit Policies page.
To manage audit, you must have the Manage Audit Policies (FND_MANAGE_AUDIT_POLICIES_PRIV) function security privilege. The predefined Application Implementation Consultant job role has this privilege.
Audit Reports
To access the data recorded by the audit process, you view audit reports in the Audit Reports work area. To open the Audit Reports work area, select .
To view audit reports, you must have the View Audit History (FND_VIEW_AUDIT_HISTORY_PRIV) function security privilege. The predefined Internal Auditor job role has this privilege.
