A shot in the dark question about Audit Trail

Gurus,
We (development team) typically provide deployment scripts which contain API calls or table inserts for OA configurations. This ensures consistency between environments and prevents Admin user error from fat-fingering. With that said, anyone have any idea if the Audit trail forms use backend API calls to write to standard tables? Or do those Audit trail forms write directly to standard tables/views?
I feel much more comfortable calling an API rather than trying to mimic standard table inserts.
Audit trail for base tables consist of several steps:
1. Enable audit at application level (Intall Form)
2. Define Audit name and define table (Groups Form)
3. Define audit columns from table (Tables Form)
4. Run Audit Trail concurrent job.
I am mostly concerned about writing a script for tasks 1-3, since we can easily execute a concurrent job through FND_REQUEST. I've been looking at the FND_AUDIT* packages and none reference a "create" procedure.
BTW, form diagnostic tool didn't supply much information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

  • Shot in the dark - Accessing page records outside the component buffer

    I know this is a shot in the dark, but I'm hoping there is some trick someone has found that allows an iScript to make use of or imitate the function 'GetRecord'. I understand the limitations of an iScript and the reasons why it has no access to things like 'GetRecord', but I'm trying to manipulate field display options from code executing in an iScript. Has anyone found a way to interact with fields on a page through peoplecode in an iScript?
    thanks,
    Paul

    Folks,
    This question has been solved by myself. Thanks.

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • A few questions about auditing

    Hi all,
    I am new to auditing, my manager asked me to make a report on how our database is audited including audit levels, tables and users audited etc. After some research I found about AUD$ table and views associated with it. I also found about table auditing(session/access) but I could not make any clear ideas out of these info. Also I made some tests and I could not get any assuring results. First I want to tell you what I did:
    I enabled auiditing on the fnd_user table(test instance, 9.2.0.8) on select and update using TOAD. However after making many selects and updates I can not find any audit info in either audit trail or AUD$ table and views using it. After this I turned on all other statements'(alter, delete, grant etc.) auditing and switched between ACCESS and SESSION but to no good. What am I missing, why is there no trail of these actions?
    Second, I have been inspecting the AUD$ table, there is recent data in it which consists of drop and truncate info mostly. I used a query to determine which objects have auditing enabled but there are none other than the fnd_user which I just enabled. What makes this data to be populated in the AUD$ table and how can I alter this?
    Lastly, what are the possibilities of efficient auditing on the tables, users and schemas I want?
    Any advices will be most appreciated.
    Thanks and regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for the fast replies.
    The output of show parameter audit is:
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    audit_file_dest string ?/rdbms/audit
    audit_sys_operations boolean FALSE
    audit_trail string NONE
    transaction_auditing boolean TRUE
    audit_trail is not boolean, what are the values it can get? transaction_auditing is enabled, how can I make use of this, and what are the differences between the three types of auditing?
    Also I will be very happy if someone could tell me what populates the data in AUD$ table although the auditing is disabled?
    Thanks and regards
    Burak

    I know you are not able to reset the Apple ID password by email because the rescue email address has changed. Have you tried resetting the password by answering the security questions? Please refer to the attached article for information on resetting Apple ID password.

  • Just a shot in the dark...

    Hi Guys
    Bear with me here...
    Am trying to chat with my daughter via iChat/AIM. She has latest version of AIM (5.9 ) running on XP, I have iChat 3.0.1 running on 10.4.2. She just got a new camera (Logitech Quickcam for notebooks pro) - I have iSight. Prior to her installation, I was able to invite her to a "One-Way video chat" in which we could audio but she could not see me (half way there). Since her install not only can we not "One-Way" audio, but we can not get video to work either. I have tested my iSight with all appleu3test sites and all works perfectly - have not chatted with another human...ok, I'm slow!
    When I invite her, she get the following: An upgrade is needed for AOL Instant Messenger Live Video. The upgrade will download the component, exit AIM, run the installer, and then restart AIM. When she hits "OK" the upgrade starts and then tells her she has all the necessary components. She upgraded in the beginning.
    She has done the "upgraded XP component" and the Service Pac 2 thing.
    Any recomendations... I know this sounds like a AIM problem, right?
    (and I won't add that she is also at a university with probable firewall issues AND technically challenged like dear ol' dad) - like I said, just a shot... any inSight (pun) appreciated.

    Thanks for the kind words, John
    Ralph, Defcom, and James Weston helped me start with iChat AV. As you point out, MANY users post good ideas and share their tips here. ALL are valuable, welcome, and what makes Apple Discussions the best forum I have ever encountered. Thanks for YOUR contribution, too.
    Back to your problem. Sorry 2-way video is not working for you and your daughter yet.
    My remaining thought concerns the maintenance "health" of her PC. Based on your initial statement that: "The upgrade will download the component, exit AIM, run the installer, and then restart AIM. When she hits "OK" the upgrade starts and then tells her she has all the necessary components. She upgraded in the beginning. "If this same thing happens more than once, I wonder if her PC is properly maintained or if the "upgrade" is being properly installed. Perhaps she has anti-virus or some other PC-protection software "protecting" her from doing the install.
    I no longer know enough about PCs to be of any help on this, but she might want to check this or seek help from a knowledgeable PC user who can help her.
    Based on your msg # 2.1 post to Austin, perhaps your daughter's school will fix it for her under their "support" policy?
    You have my best ideas. We shall see what Ralph offers. I see that he is now back at work here.
    Cheers,
    EZ Jim

  • Scripting: a shot in the dark

    Sorry folks, i know this is bad forum etiquette: storm in and post without lurking at all but I'm in a pinch.
    I don't even know if this is something FCP can do:
    I am making an animatic from still 2d storyboards. I want to put titles on them (the clips in my timeline) that match the filename of the clips.
    So when i cut to clip SC03_23.psd i see SC0323 in red letters in the corner pocket of my frame.
    Since the titles will = file name, is there a script I can write that can do that automatically, to everything I import or place on the timeline? or will i need to go through and add titles to my shots after I lock my picture?
    I know I could probably do it in shake. . .but i have hundreds of clips and adding an extra kink to my pipeline is about as labor intensive as adding the titles to my shots manually.
    anyway, thanks for your time.

    Welcome to the family, sorry this aitn' the answer you were hoping for, best I can think of, hope you get better advice.
    FCP is not a versatile compositor and the timecode reader will not access any metadata you may have on your clips. However, there are third party filters that can sort of do that. So, if you applied a metadata tag field in Lightroom or Aperture that described your shot, you might be able to get one of these third party filters to grab that data and blast it onto the screen.
    I have never used Shake but After Effects cannot do this to individual layers. You would have to create a comp for every item, place a text layer on top of it, and type in the text.

  • Questions about auditing

    We are getting questions from our users. Can the following be
    done?
    1. Can we audit the log-on for a user and see what has been done?
    2. Can we have an audit for the log-on that is printable?
    3. Can we audit any operations that the user did?
    4. Can we audit time logged on, out, etc?
    If so, how?
    Thanks,

    Dear Linda,
    I'm not sure whether you want to audit activities at the
    Database or at the OS level, but you will get almost all the
    info on Oracle and on UNIX!
    For auditing on Oracle, checkout the following :

  • ADC and The G3 Question about Monitors

    My G3 Blue and White PowerMac is running great running OS X but my clunky monitor is starting to take up alot of desk space. I would like to add a 15" ADC Monitor to it (just to keep my apple apple). I currently know that I need the DVI to ADC adapter with the power brick to support the monitors power needs, and that my VGA graphics card cannot support this at all. Leaving the question what is the best card for the job? Do I need a vintage sort of card or is there a newer card that will support it (computer and monitor). Thanks for your help. Oh and I'm going to upgrade to Tiger soon in the future if that helps. Thanks anything is appreciated.

  • SAP BI 4.0 SP2 : Questions about Audit

    Hello guys
    Can you give some informations on Audit functionalities in SAP BI 4 ? I installed the audit database and i configured the audit panel in the CMC to the default level and now i would like to request on the data stored in the auditing database, where can i found an "audit universe" and "Webi reports" to query on Auditing data like in BO XI 3.1 ?
    Thanks in advance
    Jean-Philippe

    Thanks for your link Kbobj1,
      I tried to follow the deploy Auditing reports and universe steps in the attached document, and sucessfully published a BOEXI40-Audit-MSSQL.UNX linking to my SQL express auditing DB.
      However, while trying to perform the last step which is to "Set Datasource Location" in the sample crystal report, I am unable to select "BOEXI40-Audit-MSSQL.UNX" from: Replace with > Universes path, only *.unv universes appeared to be there. Am I missing any steps ? Thanks~~
      I looked up some info from the web saying that UNX is not compatible with Crystal report 2011, that might be the reason.

  • New to the product - question about validating multiple fields as a group

    I have a static form that I'm building from a word document.  Part of that form requires a person to fill any 3 out 5 text fields.
    Since it looks like scripts are applied on a field by field basis, is it possible to have a script that encompasses multiple fields? 
    Would any script need to be applied to each field in turn?
    Assuming the answer to question 1 is a yes, how would you script it to require x number of fields out of a total of y to have some sort of content in order to validate?
    I'm pretty familiar with JavaScript and am looking at the Scripting reference guides but was hoping for a helping hand to get me there quicker as I'm in a bit of a time crunch - doing 18 forms with validation and database connectivity by January 15 certainly qualifies in my book.
    I would assume you'd do something like this but am unsure of the syntax...
    Get values of each field
    Set a valid counter variable for the number of fields with content
    If field 1 is not empty, increment the valid counter
    (rinse and repeat)
    if the valid counter is less than 3 throw an error message
    Many thanks in advance for any help offiered

    1). Yes, scripting within Livecycle can be for a single field or even static text, images and other artifacts within the PDF. Really anything, within Adobe's reason, when it comes to scripting.
    2). It depends on what you want to do. Things like field validations, calculations and other instances where fields are tied togther really dictate how the script runs.
    3). Fields that have calculations or validations with them work in the same, I believe. So for example I have a PDF that I made that is an Excel-type sheet that contains a few hundred cells and every single one has some type of validation or calculation associated with it. I generally run the calculations/validations from the user inputting the data and then after that the script runs, but again, it really dpeneds on what you are doing and with what, so answering some of your questions are a bit difficult.
    Javascrip/Formcalc are wonderful tools within PDF, but don't forget the Action Builder (Tools -Action Builder). It is a set of preloaded actions that are turn-key. Just select the cells that will have the action and select the result you want from the preloaded list of actions, using those actions can get you very far, and most of all; they are quick to implement without researching code. So for example, you could use the Action Builder to create an action that checks certain fields and if they are null to return a 1 value to a specific numericField (these could be hidden). Then have a "total" numericField (this would be your counter) that adds all of those fields with the 1 in it. Then create another Action Builder for that "total" numericField and if it is less than 3, display a message box that is a warning.

  • Please answer the simple question about publishing Web Services!

    I have implemented my first web service GetDate, using JDeveloper.
    Could anybody tell me please how can I place now this web service on the web, on my web page?

    Dear Shay, thank you a lot!
    But it seems to me that you didn't understand my question or may be I have explained it not in the best way.
    I have done every step from this tutorial, I have deployed me web service to OC4J Server, and it works.
    What I need now, is to make this service available on my home page, which doesn't have Oracle Application Server, so that every person on the internet (even if he also doesn't have this application server installed on his computer) can use it.
    Is it possible to do so or not?

  • Shot in the dark

    Hi,
    In our school we have over a hundred iMac G3/450 computers. They are the sage, ruby, and indigo iMacs from around the year 2000. A lot of them have died. They simply won't turn on. I guess this is just old age, but before throwing them out I thought I'd post this message to see if there is anything I can do to revive them.
    Sincerely,
    Jal

    Hey Jal,
    a hundred iMac G3/450 computers. They are the sage, ruby, and indigo iMacs from around the year 2000.
    I've seen the same situation around here and currently have around 23 iMacs in my basement of around the same or even earlier vintage.
    Here's blurb on what I do:
    "I gather, restore, upgrade and repair computers on the Northshore. These computers are then donated to schools in the inner city. These are typically high needs schools. Many have no computers at all! In a typical school 98% of the kids are on Federal Food Assistance.
    The iMac in particular is very desirable in these situations:
    a) It has a small footprint and is self contained.
    b) I have a large amount of educational software that I load them up with.
    c) The kids love them. I have seen iMacs get hugged. I never see that with any other computer.
    Most of the children who are at these schools have no computers at home. In cases I'm working with now this is true for all of the children. The ones I donate provide the first hands on experience they have ever had.
    Harry Porterfield did a piece on me last year.
    http://www.vimeo.com/clip:150591
    Here's the URL to the TV station site:
    http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=local&id=5097319
    So the ones that go into these schools are set up like this:
    If it's for Pre K to 2nd grade I set them up with OS 9.2.2 and SMIs of things like Living Books, Zoombini, TT2, Alphabet Express, Kid Pix 4 etc. About 30 things in all.
    If it's for older kids they get OS 10.4.11, Garage Band 2.0, Microsoft Office '04.
    These can actually be used for Video editing with early versions of iLife. Animation with Frame Thief.
    So they're not useless at all. I just gave two of them to the kids of two guys who salvage metal in the alleys around here (as well as a washer, refrigerator and water heater) If you would have seen the look on those kids' faces you'd know as I do that it was worth the few minutes of my time to set them up.
    A lot of them have died. They simply won't turn on.
    Right usually when that has happened the PAV board has died. (It could also be the battery so check that first - reset the PMU in this case)
    So I assemble all the ones that light up with the best hard drives and most
    RAM and then use those. The rest go to recycling or are used for parts (Just had to swap some speakers out of a donor machine into one who's speakers had been blown.)
    So if one of these won't light up I'll pull the HD, RAM and battery then send it for parts or recycling. My usual no good rate is around 15% - 25%. In your case that would still leave 75 to 85 perfectly usable machines.
    I used to repair the PAVs but as Scott points out this was hard and you need to know what you're doing. Often it was the flyback but you can no longer get that part.
