Event logging
Event logging is a mechanism to log events for IBM® Product Master objects. You need to use the history manager to log object events such as create and update to a database, and to retrieve event information.
Using the history manager, you can select which objects you
want to log events for, which events you want to log, and define how
much detail you want to log for each event. You can use filters to
select specific objects from within a certain type of objects. For
example, you can select specific items from within the item objects.
You must determine what event information your users will need to retrieve. You can design your event logging by using an appropriate combination of objects, events, event logging levels, and filters.
You can log events only for Product Master objects
that are supported by the history manager. Before you can set up an
object for event logging, you must verify if the object is supported
by the history manager by checking if an object node for the object
exists in the
history_objects.xml file. This file
is available in the $TOP/etc/default directory.You can log specific events for Product Master objects.
However, the history manager may not support logging of all events
for all objects. To check if the history manager supports a specific
event for an object, you need to check the object node for the object
in the
history_objects.xml file. This file is available
in the $TOP/etc/default directory.
