Analyze IMAGE log files, modify databases, create audit trails and monitor database security
Each action that modifies the IMAGE/SQL database is recorded (logged) to the logfile. These actions are separately identifiable, relating to specific DBOPENs, and can be analyzed and reported by DBAudit.
The DBAudit utility allows database administrators to read IMAGE logfiles to analyze database modifications. Various detail or summary reports provide a wealth of data relating to the database accessors and modifications. Some columns of most reports include: database, dataset, device (where the database is accessed), logon MPE user and account, program name, group and account, IMAGE intrinsic type, item name and contents, etc. DBAudit provides an easy method for generating database transaction analysis reports.
