Tracking ReportCaster Configuration Events

You can now track when ReportCaster Configuration settings are changed. This feature enables you to keep continuous records of how and when ReportCaster Configuration settings are changed, and to comply with any regulatory auditing requirements of your organization.

To access the audit log file, launch the Administration Console, click the Diagnostics tab, and then click Log Files. The following image shows the link that you can click to view the audit log.

When you change ReportCaster Configuration settings, a record of the event is created in the audit.log file in the following format:

[YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss,sss] INFO caster_config monitor_ID user_ID old CasterConfig file: dserver_file_ID.xml

The following image shows a ReportCaster Configuration log that is generated after a change to the ReportCaster Configuration settings.

Before changes to the ReportCaster Configuration settings are saved, the previous settings of the ReportCaster Configuration tool are recorded in a timestamped dserver.xml file. This file is saved in the …ibi\WebFOCUSnn directory, where nn is the WebFOCUS release number.
