Audit Management in BAAN ERP

Audit Management, which is used in relation with Databases to record the changes that were made in the data. 



Using Audit Management
Audit management is used to track the changes to an existing application or company table.  The audit data is stored in the files of a database independent format and can be printed per date and time, per session, or per user.  The audit files are created and maintained by a UNIX process that communicates with the bshell.  This process is called the audit server.
For parameter tables within BAAN Software, Audit Management is mandatory to use. For other tables it is optional. It is supposed to be for critical data. 

• Keep track of all commands which affects the table data (Insert / Update / Delete)
• Mandatory for Parameter Tables
• Optional for other Tables

The Implementation of Audit Management

The procedure begins with defining, for each table field, whether or not an audit trail is allowed.  Next, the audit trail field of the database definition is set to yes and the location of the audit files is defined.  Then, the default audit file parameters are specified in the ${BSE}/lib/audit_spec file and various security levels are assigned to all users.  If desired, the parameters of the audit files of particular tables can be changed afterwards.

As a result of this procedure, the changes made to several BAAN IV tables can be tracked.  It is also possible to print the audit data.
