Process Audit

Process Audit is a facility that can be enabled to monitor Optim™ processes and obtain information about their execution. When a process is started, Optim collects information such as the type of request and the user who initiated it. Optim then writes audit records to an XML document in the Optim Directory audit table or sends the audit information to a Guardium® system.

Audit records are produced when a process is run from a menu or editor, from the Command Line Interface, or as a scheduled job. When you enable Process Audit for an Optim Directory, you can enable auditing for users of the following processes:
  • Actions
    • Archive Request
    • Compare Request
    • Convert Request
    • Delete Request
    • Edit (with the table editor)
    • Extract Request
    • Insert Request
    • Load Request
    • Report Request
    • Restore Request
  • Utilities
    • Browse
    • Create
    • Export
    • Import
    • Optim Data Manager (ODM)

Auditing can be enabled or disabled at any time. Enable Process Audit by using the Product Options. For more information about how to enable process audit, see General Tab.

The XML documents produced by Process Audit are written to the Optim Directory audit table, PSTAUDIT2 or PSTAUDIT3 for SQL Server. An audit record is written at the completion of the process that is being audited.
