RE: Identifying who deleted records - trigger programs

Blake,

Are you doing some sort of journal processing that requires it to go to the same journal as the other files? If not, it would be pretty easy to create a new journal for the file.

The use of the journals for data retrieval is being investigated by another
developer. However, there are considerations about how long the data in
the journals is available due to the volume of data being processed. The
auditors are looking for control over one file and governmental regs
require stored data to be *immediately* available for a period of no less
than 7 years (and displeasing a government auditor who can yank your
operating license immediately is not conducive to business operations).
The journals that would encompass this file also contain record changes on
close to 90 other files. While it would be a preferred option, it may not
be a viable option.

So, to cover the bases, I'm assigned to check the option of triggers, which
leads back to the original question of user and program identification from
inside a trigger event.

Have a good day.

Why not just do journaling?

Subject: Identifying who deleted records - trigger programs

Hello all...

I'm wondering if anyone has ever run into this situation before. Any help
would be appreciated.

A request has been made to track record activity on a file. Specifically,
auditors are looking to see who is deleting or updating records and what
changes are being made.

The option to use a file trigger has come up and would provide the option
to evaluate changes for updated records. The issue that is being
encountered is identifying what program or procedure caused the trigger to
kick off, and more importantly, what user profile was associated to the
program or procedure.

Have a good day.
