View the audit history

Search for a particular audit record or view a record list of all audits stored in the database from the Audit History form. It is important to look at this file before purging audit records or unloading a development change to production.

If some of the records should not be added to the auditing delta unload, you can either change the search criteria of these records (such as changing the date to an earlier date) or delete the record altogether if it should never be part of the delta and does not need to be documented as changed.

Note: Be aware that the same record may be included in the devaudit file several times, since each change to a record is noted in devaudit.

1. Click Tailoring > Audit > View Audit History.
   A blank Audit History record opens.
2. Open an existing Audit record using one of the following procedures:
   • Enter any information you have from the record and click Search.
   • Click Search or press Enter. If more than one record matches the search criteria, the result screen is split with a record list at the top and the first record in the list open below.

   Note: There is an entry for each time you add or update a form or file.

3. Click the entry you want to view. Information for this record is entered into the Audit History form.
4. Click Delete to remove the current record from the audit list.

The records have the following structure:

• Audit ID: 1
• Filename: format
• Keys: IM.update.incident
• Event Type: update
• Date: 01/14/10 12:31:29
