Logging

You can activate and deactivate logging for the desired data elements, tables, and long texts on a targeted basis and without technical modifications.

Evaluation of logged data

You can use the evaluation transaction S_AUT10 to find and display the changed objects according to certain criteria, thereby carrying out a GMP-conforming evaluation of the changed data. In the process, you can evaluate change documents, table logs, and long text logs.

Archiving of long text logs

You can now archive long text logs with Audit Trail. For this purpose, the Archiving Object S_AUT_LTXT has been newly created in this enhancement package.

Evaluation of archived long text logs, table logs, and change documents

If you use the Audit Trail component, you can only evaluate archived long text logs and archived table logs in transaction S_AUT10.

If you use the Audit Trail component together with the Information Lifecycle Management component, you can evaluate the archived change documents in addition to the long text logs and table logs. In the process, it makes no difference whether the change documents were archived with the archiving object CHANGEDOCU or together with the superordinate application document. You can call up the evaluation of archived data in ILM with transaction IWP01Handling of Audit Packages by carrying out the transaction and choosing the Audit Trail function key on the Handling of Audit Packages screen. This function key invokes the transaction S_AUT10.
