Unload an audit delta

To specify what the system unloads, you must first view the audit history. Remove records from the development audit list by selecting them and then deleting them.

Important: Before unloading a change you made during the development phase, it is critical that you check the audit files for the correct date of this delta. You need the date shown in the Audit History form to enter into the Unload form.

To unload the audit delta:

1. Click Tailoring > Audit > Unload an Audit Delta.
   The Audit Unload form opens, and the current date and time automatically fill in the Unload delta since what date? field.
2. Type the beginning date for the unload that is found in the View Audit History record list.
3. Type the path and file name that you want to send the unloaded data in the Send Data to Which File? field.
4. Type the path and file name of the log for the audit unload process in the Enter Log Name Here field.
5. Click Proceed. The Development Auditor menu opens with a message in the status bar indicating how many records were unloaded.

The unload you create can be loaded into the test system, and eventually into the production system.

Note: You can view the contents of an unload file in Database Manager before loading it onto the new system.

To view the contents of an unload file:

1. Open Database Manager.
2. Select Import/Load from the More Actions menu.
3. Select the file you want to load.
4. Click View Contents.
