Question
How do I add FileNet Content Platform Engine user-defined Property Definitions to the P8 Audit Log
Cause
With versions of CPE 5.0 and higher, it is possible to extend user-defined properties to the P8 Audit log database table. When an auditable event occurs, the audit table will be populated according to the AuditAs settings.
Answer
The steps of associating a new property to a Document Class are as follows
- Create a new Property Template
- Associate the Property Template to a Document Class
- Modify the newly created Property Definition to use "AuditAs" to identify properties to monitor
- Enable Auditing on the Document Class
- Enable Object Change Event to hold user-defined properties
- Query the "EVENT" database table to examine the audit results of the new column
- Create a new Property Template named "Audit_Property_test"
- Using ACCE select the respective Object Store
- Open the Data Design folder
- Property Templates
- New Display name
- "Audit_Property_Test"
- Next
- Data Type = string
- Next
- Finish
- Associate the Property Template to a Document Class
- Using ACCE, select Data Design
- Classes
- Document
- Select the Property Definitions TabAdd button
- Scroll through to find and select "Audit_Property_Test"
- Modify the newly created Property Definition to use "AuditAs" to identify properties to monitor
- Enable Auditing on the Document Class
- Enable Object Change Event to hold user-defined properties
- Query the "EVENT" database table to examine the audit results of the new column
Using ACCE select the respective Object Store
Open the Data Design folder > Property Templates > New > Display name > "Audit_Property_Test" > Next > Data Type = string > Next > Finish
Assuming that the Property Template "Audit_Property" is associated with "Document Class" where auditing is enabled for the "Creation" event
- Via ACCE, open the respective Object Store where the audit log is to be customized
- Select Other Classes
- Event
- Object Change Event
- Creation Event
- Add
- "Audit_Property"
- Add "Audit_Property" into additional events as required
