Maybe the vendor has something they can give you.

Subject: Read IFS journal data 


Hi list:

I am using iTerra (Echo2) and we have a journal that is tracking all the 
activity in it.  I am specifically worried about one folder's activity and 
I want to be able to read the journal, write the data into a work file and 
do my own analysis, reports, etc.  However most of the data in the journal 
is meaningless to me (lot of "garbage" data, you know). I also have MONIFS 
but I do not know how to set it up or even if I can because currently the 
iTerra journal is attached to the folder and tracking the activity.  As a 
result, I decided to not to go with the MONIFS but use the journal data, 
read and write the information in a separate workfile and then manipulate 
as I wish.

At least I need to have the following information (like the MONIFS 
command):

1. Time stamp 
2. Object type 
3. Object name 
4. Operation performed: 
* CREATED 
* REPLACED 
* UNLINKED 
* DELETED 
* MOVED 
* RENAMED 
* AUTHORITY-GRANTED 
* AUTHORITY-GRANTED WITH REPLACE 
* AUTHORITY-REVOKED 
* AUTHORITY-GRTUSRAUT 
* RESTORED EXISTING OBJECT 
* RESTORED NEW OBJECT 
* OWNER CHANGED 

5. Result of operation 
* If move / rename: new object name. 
* If authority change: affected user profile. 
* If change of ownership: previous owner -> new owner. 
* Job performing the event

How I can pull this data from the journal and get most of the data I am 
needing?

Thanks in advance!
