Activity logging configuration

Use this page to manage activity logging in the registry.

As a WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository (WSRR) administrator, you can view all the activities performed on an object. The following activities are logged:

Creation of an object
The owning document of a logical object that is added
Custom Relationship is added or removed
Custom Relationship target is added or removed
User defined property is added, removed, or the value is changed
Classification is added or removed
Governance is added or removed
Object transitions from one state to another
Content of a document is modified
Objects created during Upgrade
Objects modified by the Model Mapper

Note: To use activity logging with DB2 V9.7, you must have Fix Pack 1 or later installed.

To manage activity logging, perform the following actions:

Switch to the Configuration perspective if necessary, by selecting Configuration in the Perspective list.
Click Active Profile > Activity Logging.

You can change the maximum number of rows to be displayed when the collection is large. Click Preferences if the Maximum rows entry field is not visible, then type the required value in the entry field and click Apply to use the new value. The default is 20 rows.

You can click the following icons to work with the items in your collection:

: Select all items in the collection.
: Deselect all items in the collection.

To sort the collection in alphabetical order by a specific column, click the title of the column. Repeatedly clicking the same column title toggles between ascending and descending sort order. You can also click the icon alongside the column title to sort by that column. This icon indicates the sort status as follows:

: The collection is not sorted by this column.
: The collection is sorted in ascending order by this column.
: The collection is sorted in descending order by this column.

Note that if you change the sort order of a collection, and the collection is displayed over two or more pages, then the currently displayed page will be reset to the first page of the collection.

To view the details of a role, click the role name in the list.

This page provides the following buttons:

Button	Resulting action
Replace	Replace the selected activity logging configuration.
Export	Export the selected activity logging configuration.

This page displays the following columns:

Name: Specifies the name of the activity logging configuration.

Configuring WSRR for activity logging

You can configure WSRR for activity logging from the Configuration perspective by adding a configuration item that controls whether activity logging is enabled or not enabled.

Details of the ActivityLoggingProperties configuration item.

An example of activity logging enabled:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<activity-logging-configuration xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/serviceregistry/6/3/ActivityLoggingProperties" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/serviceregistry/6/3/ActivityLoggingProperties ActivityLoggingProperties.xsd ">
  <enabled>true</enabled>
</activity-logging-configuration>

An example of activity logging not enabled:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<activity-logging-configuration xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/serviceregistry/6/3/ActivityLoggingProperties" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/serviceregistry/6/3/ActivityLoggingProperties ActivityLoggingProperties.xsd ">
  <enabled>false</enabled>
</activity-logging-configuration>

Note: If an object A has a relationship that has an object B as a target, the deletion of object B from the registry is not recorded as an event in the activity log for object A.
