PM03606: AUDIT LOGGING LOGS INCORRECT EVENTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After enabling Audit Service logging, you see messages created
  for activities that should not be logged, ie page creation and
  adding a portlet to a page.
  
  In addition, those messages do not correctly indicate the
  activity performed.
  
  For example - creating a new portal page (called 'Test Page')
  results in the following lines being written to the file:
  
  [10/14/09 14:16:41:746 BST] I Audit
  0000012453317875000000030000026bdf2af63236346598762bee4bf5cbf926
  179059760000012453317875000000030000026bdf2af63236346598762bee4b
  f5cbf9261790597600000001 EJPSN0014I: User
  [uid=wpsadmin,o=defaultWIMFileBasedRealm] has created a Resource
  for ObjectID 6_Ao0G0OUR0G2GDS50I4A692OB2083 and
  Name = (Name not set)
  
  Then, adding a portlet (About WebSphere Portal) to this page
  results in the following:
  
  [10/14/09 14:18:50:932 BST] I Audit
  00000124533371db0000000300000293df2af63236346598762bee4bf5cbf926
  1790597600000124533371db0000000300000293df2af63236346598762bee4b
  f5cbf9261790597600000001 EJPSN0007I: User
  [uid=wpsadmin,o=defaultWIMFileBasedRealm] has installed a
  Portlet Application with Name = (name not available) and
  ObjectID = 5_Ao0G0OUR0G2GDS50I4A692OB20O6
