    Hi all.

    Is there any possibility to configure and/or export to Excel the "Global Audit Trail"

    Thanks.

    What do you mean with configure?

    There is no export option for the standard audit trail as displayed in the GUI.
    If you create a query base portlet you can export the results.

    There is discussion in the thread
    Use of the Audit Trail in Clarity
    (but no solution)

    Below are two NSQL Queries that I have used to look at Audit Trail information in a Portlet view. Once the information is in a portlet - you can export to an excel spreadsheet.

    The NSQL do not yet join with the Attribute Table to display the name of the attribute value ( that is a work in progress ) - but they may assist your efforts.

    For an worthy and useful audit portlet need to do some work in Nsql.The same like OOB but with some more benefits.

    To be more comprehensive In filter you can show the object code (resource,investment,task,hiearrachy etc) and also should show the audited object attributes.
    so users can filter and choose whatever they want. (Choose project object and then choose attribute status) and check who had modified it.
    In the list view also it wil be some what challenging to show the results based on choosen parameters.Lot of case or decode conditions are needed in nsql.

    You should also have an agreement with business that the audit records should be kept only for an certain period etc (purge the records ) as this will have millions of records.
    And also auditing an attribute means an trigger will be enforced so we must be careful that unless until an strong justification we should not audit attributes,
    otherwise it might impact system performance.

    1 big drawback we faced in current audit trail is mentioned in the below post

    Hello,

    Question related to audit trial. Are there any best practices for audit trail? I am wondering if it is OK to audit a large String attribute.

    Thank you,
    Rajani.

    A large "string" or a "large string"?

    I don't believe we can audit "large strings" (implemented as binary objects in the database).

    I don't think either that you can, but you can easily verify it by just looking at the attributes available for auditing.

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to display the audit data in portlet but opertion_code is displayed as ''I' or 'U'' or "D" and I need to display as "INSERT" or "UPDATE" or "DELETE" .
    This information could be stored in any of the table, Please let me know If there is any such table.
    In case the table don't exist, please throw some light to achieve this requirement.

    You can use decode

    decode(operation_code, "I","INSERT","U","UPDATE","D","DELETE")

    or
    case
    when audits.operation_code='D' then 'DELETE'
    when audits.operation_code='I' then 'INSERT'
    when audits.operation_code='U' then 'UPDATE'
    else 'NO OPERATION'
    end o_code

    if you don't want Oracle PL/SQL

    Thank you guys for your valuable suggestions....

    This sql query is working fine

    select case a.[operation_code] WHEN 'I' THEN 'INSERT' WHEN 'U' THEN 'UPDATE' WHEN 'D' THEN 'DELETE' END AS 'Operation_Code' from CMN_AUDITS a ;
