Nope, I am not using any of these nor setting anything at the Security module. I am programmatically deciding what I want to audit and then adding an event to the Audit tables through the InserAuditEvent method.

Thanks for the overall info but it would be helpful if you could answer the following questions:

 

I am assuming I need to turn on Auditing by user (although I really want this turned on for ALL users). In the security I can't find where I set this property. Where is it? Can it be set programatically? Whenever I see it in the Security Editor it is disabled.

Next I am assuming I need to set properties on each BO such as "AuditDataChanges". What properties need to be set on the BO?

Do any properties need to be set at the column level?

If these properties are all set, will the SF Framework automatically track new rows added, column changed and rows deleted in the 3 audit tables above? Or is there something that is needed to be done in addition to the above? If not, then what else do I need to do?

Is it possible to set a property the track changes and deletings but not additions?

Above my questions relate to tracking columns in tables and not events. IE.... tblCustomer.CustName.  Just an example with tblCustomer.CustName would be helpful.

Is there any writeup step by step to implement this feature?

Hi Ross.

Yep, I have been using the Auditing feature extensively and am able to get the results I need.

I rolled my own viewer and basically I am using the InsertAuditEvent to log an Audit event whenever and wherever I need it.



So, places like AfterAddNew, AfterDelete, AppMain.UnhandledExceptionFound and so on will usually be the places I use for Auditing.

Also as an FYI, I do see where Auditing can be set in the Security Editor but these never seem to be enabled in the interface.

I have to report back to our development team on Thursday on the auditing within SF. I have seen many threads but need to know if the auditing (as far as saving data to the audit tables) is working within the SF Framework. If so what we need to do to make it work. We can build our own viewer if one is not available yet.

The SFSAuditDataChanges, SFSAuditDataFields, and SFSAuditEvents are deployed to the same database as my other RBS tables.

Finally, if I wanted to send a record to the 3 tables above such as "Attendee attemtped to register twice", what would be the method to have this reflected in the audit tables?
