Development auditing

The development auditing utility (devaudit) tracks changes made to Service Manager records during the development phase of Service Manager implementation. Whether you make a few changes or extensively customize your system, it is critical to have a record of your changes to ensure loading of the correct version when you move to production. With it, you can create an unload of your changes, and load them into another system.

Note: The Differential Upgrade utility is a more powerful and flexible tool for this purpose. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use it instead of the development auditing.

Though the auditing utility helps you find modified records, Micro Focus strongly recommends that you record each change more extensively either using tools outside of Service Manager or using the Revision control feature.

The development auditing utility tracks changes to the following files:

  • application
  • code
  • datadict
  • devaudit
  • displayevent
  • displayoption
  • displayscreen
  • enclapplication
  • eventfilter
  • eventmap
