Setting up auditing

Auditing is the recording of outgoing mails, user and entity database actions. A system administrator can enable or disable audit on the System Configuration page.

Be careful to enter correct values for the system configuration properties because IBM PEM does not validate the information that you enter on the System Configuration page. The field values might be truncated if the value entered is longer than the maximum length defined in the database.
Important: You must use the default values as recommended settings.

The auditing of task approvals and rejections is enabled by default, so you do not need to do anything to set it up.

  1. Sign in to IBM PEM as a System Administrator.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Edit values for the following properties:
    Property Name Property Value
    TRACK_ENTITY_CHANGES Enter true to start gathering information about specific database-related entity changes in the VCH_CHANGE_HISTORY audit table. The default value is false.
    TRACK_EMAILS Enter true to start gathering information about outgoing mail in the VCH_MAIL_AUDIT table. The default value is false.
  4. Click Save.
