Standard Oracle Auditing

I need to audit 1 table.
Are the following two sufficient:
1. Set sudit_trail parameter in init.ora to DB.
2. Execute the following statement:
AUDIT SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE ON <tablename>;
Or do I need to setup some other parameter?

Few more are here

Java DB like logging via oracle auditing?

Please help me, i'm new to oracle and don't know how to achive my goal.
In derby my log files presents me all the information i need for researching purposes.
The same can be achived via auditing in oracle i guess.
So my starting point is:
I activated an audit as follows:
AUDIT UPDATE,LOCK,SELECT on app.accouts by access;
Here is a log of my audit session:
I can't see the SQL_BIND information for example, can i activate it?
SQL> select action_name,extended_timestamp,returncode from dba_audit_trail order by extended_timestamp;

What i'm missing in my oracle audit is, what SQL statement is actually used and what parameters are binded to them.
Also i need to know if the SQL statement was successfull or failed and if the statement failed, why has it failed?
Please help me :-)
Kind regards

For Oracle database auditing, you need to set the audit_trail parameter to either db, extended to write the audit trail to aud$ table in the database or xml, extended to write your audit trail to an OS file in XML format.
the 'extended' tells Oracle to collect the sql_text and bind variables in the standard audit trail.
If you use FGA (fine grained auditing), the sql text is automatically included in the audit trail.

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

How to get standard oracle API or Interface package in oracle apps

Hi guys,
Need ur help........plz tell me how to find the standard oracle API or other package on server.

I want to find all API related to PO Requisition special Requisition Import conc. program API ...plz tell how can get it.
Actually I want to design custom interface on the basis of standard Requisition Import api so, plz give me sql script for find those api.From iREP website, navigate to the PO module and check the list of APIs.
Or, you could enable trace/debug for the concurrent program and generate the TKPROF and this will show you the API used by this program.
FAQ: Common Tracing Techniques within the Oracle Applications 11i/R12 [ID 296559.1]
How To Trace a Concurrent Request And Generate TKPROF File [ID 453527.1]
Another option is to open the report using reports builder and check the code.

Problem: Oracle auditing and Coldfusion pages.

Oracle 10g has robust auditing functionality. If you want to see who is inserting records into account.staff, you issue this command.
audit insert on account.staff by access;
It's done.   All inserts into the table are tracked by Oracle automatically.
The good news is this works perfectly with asp pages. With coldfusion-based webpages, the CF application server interposes itself between oracle and the user. The result? Key bits of auditing information (i.e., user id, pc IP address) are replaced with the Cold Fusion server values.
For example, instead of seeing the user’s ID, or name the audit trail has SYSTEM. Instead of the user’s pc hostname we see the CF server name and IP address.
·         Building table specific triggers using USERENV('sessionid')in Oracle does not help
·         Using cgi variables in the CF pages like REMOTE_ADDR (IP address of the remote host making the request) or REMOTE_USER or AUTH_USER also does not offer reliable information either.
What is the fix?
Our setup. We are using:
Oracle 10g with auditing enabled
Coldfusion server version 8.0.0.176276
Windows 2003 server
Internet Information Server version 6.0
Windows integrated authentication
All web auditing via IIS 6.0 works fine. It is just Oracle auditing that is a problem.
Thank you.

I'm not familiar with Oracle; but I'll take a guess as to why the behavior is different between ASP and CF. I suspect that the ASP pages access the database using Windows integrated authentication and impersonation of users. If user [email protected] logs into the ASP site the [email protected] credentials are used for database access, and this is reflected in Oracle's auditing. ColdFusion does not use integrated authentication so all data access is handled as the user credentials setup in the CF data source and using the IP of the CF server. I don't think that this can be changed. As far as I know CF does not support impersonation of Windows accounts. However, I'm not an Oracle expect so if any of this is wrong please correct me.

Oracle Auditing Capability

In one of our project we need to define audit trail for all transaction tables As per the requirements, we need to log in some audit trail table the following information
- Old and New value of the column
- userid who executed the SQL
- Transaction type – INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE
- Current Timestamp
In past, we used to create database trigger attached to each table that gets fired once a column is touched in case of SQL INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement. This solution as you understand is home grown one that come up with its own limitations like defining trigger in each table and maintaining trigger code each time a column is dropped or added .
The question is does Oracle Release 10.g come with any such out of the box audit trail capabilities that can be enabled by SYS ADMIN to record any row data change that we could achieve without writing any trigger code.
Could you please advice on 10G Oracle Audit capabilities ?
Thanks in advance

Assuming that the USERID you're interested in is the Oracle user that is logged in (rather than, say, an application ID that has been defined on the middle tier), there are a number of options.
One option that I tend to push particularly in 10g (but that was available in 9i as well) is Workspace Manager. You can use Workspace Manager to version-enable a table, and Oracle will automatically generate triggers that store off the old and new versions of each row in historical tables. Workspace Manager also provides some rather cool additional functionality, like the ability to run an arbitrary query as of an arbitrary point in time in the past (assuming all the tables involved are version-enabled and assuming you haven't purged the history for some reason), which can be invaluable for debugging purposes.
The Workspace Manager Application Developer's Guide has more information...
Of course, you can also use other tools like Oracle's built-in auditing or something like Audit Vault depending on your precise business needs.

Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall implementaion

Dear All,
we are planning to implement Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall on 2 node 11g RAC/solaris10, please advise me to ahead in details
Thanks

Recently purchased Audit Vault and Database Firewall
My question is with Audit Vault.
All of the documentation says that i need Oracle Linux 5.8 as part of the installation. We do not have any servers now that support 5.8 currently. When I check the HCL for Oracle Linux 5.8 i see only 4 Oracle servers that support this version
Sun Server X2-4
Sun Server X2-8
Sunfire X2270 M2
Sunfire X4470
The only two servers that are currently offer for purchase by Oracle are the X2-4 and X2-8 which are way overkill both in power and price for this application.
The X2270 M2 would fit nicely, but is no longer offered for sale. In it place is the X3-2 which would fit nicely, but it listed as supporting Oracle Linux 5.8. Oracle Linux 5.9 is supported on the X3-2.
My question is will Oracle Linux 5.9 or newer install to support Audit Vault? The documentation specifies Linux 5.8. Is this flexible or not?
Thanks,

Extend a Standard Oracle Page

Hi,
Has anyone managed to extend a Standard Oracle Page. I have a requirement to extend Customers Online Page
/oracle/apps/imc/ocong/party/organization/webui/ImcOrgOverview
.. All I need to do is to add a new region in the page .
I am able to achieve the result by modifying the exisitng page
ImcOrgOverview and importing it . But I dont want to do that , as the solution wont last an upgrade .
Any Suggestions?

If your customer is on 11.5.10.2CU of OAFramework then they can extend an existing region or a new region in to a Oracle seeded page. You can use the personalization framework to add a new item 'flexibleLayout' and this will allow you to add a 'flexibleContent' under the flexibleLayout using personalization.
When adding the 'flexibleContent' you need to set the extends property pointing the region which you want to extend.
However you need to keep in mind that the region which you want to extend should work standalone otherwise you will run in to errors.
You can find the relevant document on the framework personalization guide for CU2 and above in the create new item section.
