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.
