An Example of Enabling Items for Audit

As an example of the process for identifying and enabling Oracle Cloud audit framework objects and attributes for audit data collection, consider the delivered-content model 60002: Frequent Changes to Supplier Bank Accounts.

  • The model analyzes bank-account update events to find suppliers whose bank-account records have been updated more than twice over the course of a year from the date you run the model.

  • For each update by each of these suppliers, the model returns old and new values for account name, account type, account number, bank name, description, and whether international payments are allowed. All these are attributes of a business object called Audit - Supplier Bank Accounts.

The model logic uses audit-event attributes, but these are included automatically in audit business objects. You don't need to enable them. However, Account Name, Account Type, Account Number, Bank Name, Description, and Allow International Payments are result attributes you must enable for auditing. They belong to a business object in the Oracle Cloud audit framework called Supplier Bank Accounts. It's a child of a Supplier object.

To enable these items:

  1. In the Navigator, select My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance. Open the Manage Audit Policies task.

  2. Ensure that Auditing is selected in the Audit Level field in the Oracle Fusion Applications row. Then click its Configure Business Object Attributes button.

  3. In the Product field, select Supplier Model, which is the correct value for the Supplier Bank Accounts object. (Note that it matches the Type value displayed for that object in the Select Business Objects page.)

  4. In an Audit column of the Objects region, select check boxes that define a hierarchical path to this object: Audit Top Node > Supplier Audit Setup > Supplier > Supplier Bank Accounts. Then click in the Supplier Bank Accounts row.

  5. In the Audited Attributes region, click Create.

  6. A Select and Add Audit Attributes window opens. In it, select the check boxes for the six attributes your model uses: Account Name, Account Type, Account Number, Bank Name, Description, and Allow International Payments. Click OK to close the window.

  7. Select Save and Close in the Configure Business Object Attributes page.
