Enter the selection criteria that you want to use to limit the history records report. You can select on the following criteria:
  • Complex: complex name or filter for which the log record was defined.
  • System: system name of filter for which the log recod was defined.
  • Recorded by: the user ID that made the assertion, override, or configuration update.
  • Asserted by: the name of the person on whose behalf the assertion, override, or configuration update was made.
  • Class or object type: the internal class or object type that the compliance rule uses. This is often not the same as the SAF class.
  • Resource or object: the resource or object that the compliance rule uses.
  • Control: the name of the control (or rule set).
  • Sensitivity type: this field is convenient for searching through sensitive resource configurations.
  • Assertion date: the date that the assertion, override, or configuration update was made.
  • Assertion enddate: the assertion, override, or configuration update end date (optional).
The Specify history log record types section enables you to select on the following criteria:
  • Current only: shows only the active records, all older or retracted records are excluded.
  • Assertion: includes all assertion type records.
  • Override: includes all override type records.
  • Configuration: includes all sensitive resource configuration records.
If you do not select a specific record type, all record types are used.

The Output/run options section enable you to (optionally) change the top level summary to Complex, Control, Recorder, or Asserter. You can also select here if you want to see the report in list form, receive it as email, or let the report be run as a batch job.

When you press Enter, one or two reports are generated. For example:

******************************* Bottom of Data ********************************
ASSERTLG Assertion/override history by control generates the ASSERTLG report; it shows the selected assertion and override records. By default, this report shows first the assertions and then the overrides, both sorted by control name and timestamp. You can change the sort order to complex, control, recorder, or asserter. See ASSERTLG: Assertion/override history by control.
ASSERTCF History of configuration assertions generates the ASSERTCF report; it shows the selected configuration records. By default, this report shows the configuration records by sensitivity. See ASSERTCF: History of configuration assertions.
