Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Impact of Configuration Changes on Audit Trails

Impact of Configuration Changes on Audit Trails

The impact of changes in the audit settings varies depending on the specific circumstances. The issues typically arise when changes made to audit settings are implemented at runtime without requiring all users to exit the system (LN). As a result, some users may continue to generate audit trails using the old configuration, while those who log in after the changes take effect will create audit trails based on the new configuration.

Changes in User Profiles

Below is a summary table that illustrates the effects of these changes for a specific table within a company:

Change Description Impact
Add a table Users that still use the old settings do not audit some transactions.
Remove a table Some transactions that must not be audited with the new settings are still audited by users that use the old settings.
Change the audit type for a table or field Some transactions are audited according to the old settings, and other transactions are audited according to the new settings.
Add or remove a field After you audit transactions in the table with the new settings, users that use the old settings can no longer perform transactions on this table. Therefore, users with the old settings can be forced to restart LN.

Note on Changes in Field-Specific Auditing:
When you toggle field-specific auditing on or off for a table, which alters the number of fields being audited, the effect is analogous to adding or removing a field. However, not every modification to the audit settings impacts the runtime settings. Converting the new settings to runtime might result in no net change for the entire configuration if the overall effect of the adjustments neutralizes each other.
