Set Up Auditing

Enable auditing for attributes you want to track. To do this, you must be a user with rights to Oracle Fusion Functional Setup Manager.

1. In the Navigator, select My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance. In the Search Tasks field, search for the Manage Audit Policies task. Then select that task in the Tasks list.

2. In the Manage Audit Policies page, locate the row for Oracle Fusion Applications. In its Audit Level field, ensure that Auditing is selected.

3. Click the Configure Business Object Attributes button in that row.

4. In a Configure Business Object Attributes page, select Risks and Controls in the Product field.

5. An Objects section presents a hierarchical list of business objects. Select the check boxes for those that contain attributes you want to track.

   Each object you can audit belongs to a hierarchy. (Often the immediate child of the root object is an object with the same name as the root.) Click the check box not only of the parent object, but also each child object that has attributes you want to track.

   You can select a child object without selecting its parent, but that can cause audit reports to exclude data relating to the parent. For example, you may select only the User Group Members child object in the User Assignment Groups hierarchy. A report meant to show user-group deletions would then show the members of groups that had been deleted, but wouldn't identify the groups themselves. It's recommended that whenever you select a child object, you also select its parents.

6. In an Audited Attributes section, click Create (a plus icon). In a Select and Add Audit Attributes dialog, click the check box for each attribute you want to track. Then click OK.

   You select attributes of child objects one object at a time. Having finished with one child object, you select another (step 5), select Audited Attributes > Create, and make new selections. All the attributes you select from all child objects are audited. You don't have to select objects from all objects.

7. When you complete your selections, click Save and Close.

For example, suppose you want to track changes to advanced controls. Once you've opened the Configure Business Objects Attributes page, you'll find that the Advanced Controls object has four hierarchical subordinates. Immediately below, a child object is also called Advanced Controls. Beneath it, there are three more nodes, titled Perspective, Result Perspective, and Related Records.

You'd typically select all attributes for child objects that apply to your implementation, and all their parents. For example, Related Records attributes come into play only if you relate advanced controls to processes, risks, or controls. If so, you'd select Related Records attributes. If not, you wouldn't.
