I'm hoping that there is something I haven't yet thought of, because
everything else has been a dead end. How can I identify who last
changed a physical file if that file is not journaled? I'm not
concerned with a particular record, but who last touched the file for
something other than input.
On our development box, we had a file containing a good amount of test
data in it that had been setup in advance of user testing. Over the
weekend, that data disappeared. We are attempting to restore that
file from a backup, assuming the damage wasn't already done.
The concern is that no one will admit to touching, either though a
cmd, DB utility or program, this file. (CPYF is used quite frequently
when trying to duplicate production errors on the development box.)
This is a file that is maintained very infrequently, so there is
little chance that the last person who touched it wasn't the person
who is 'guilty.' And the guilty must be punished - or at least
reminded that they don't work in a vacuum. <g>
