Audit Trail

LANSA Composer now maintains an audit trail of significant, usually modifying events to most definitions, including Activities, Transformation Maps, Processing Sequences and all types of configurations.  This enables you to trace when changes were made to definitions and by whom.

Events that are recorded include:

  • Create, change, delete
  • Opened for editing
  • Saved (Processing Sequences)
  • Prepared (Transformation Maps)
  • Archived version restored, deleted or purged (Processing sequences and Transformation Maps)
  • Exported, Imported

Information that is recorded for each event includes:

  • The identity of item affected
  • Timestamp
  • Related log, where applicable (export, import)
  • Job name, user and number
  • Computer name

Note that the audit records do NOT record what actually changed in the item definition, only that the event occurred.

The existing Audit command tab for each of the definition types has been substantially revised to display the audit trail events for the selected item (instead of just the last changed date, time and user information that was shown before):

In addition, there is also a new Audit trail option appearing in the Navigator, under Administration and Housekeeping, that permits interrogation and viewing of the audit records across all definitions and types by various criteria:
