Auditing changes within E1 can seem daunting!
Access Auditing Concepts
User access is changed when security related data is modified within a number of tables in JD Edwards (JDE) EnterpriseOne (E1).
The following E1 functions affect user access:
User Changes
Role Changes
Assignment Changes
Security Changes
Menu Changes
Audit Events
Once the ‘Security History’setting is enabledin JDE (for JDE events) and/or in ALLOut (for AO & JDE events), ‘Audit Events’ are recorded to the F9312 when specific actions occur.
The type of events that are recorded are stored in the UDC table:
User Record Changes
Role Record Changes
Assignment Changes
Security Changes
Menu Changes
What writes audit events?
Audit events are recorded in the F9312 by the following:
System functions – i.e. login/logout where the function event is recorded
Programs (that exist in the current PathCode) which write to system tables – e.g. P0092 writes to F0092 and the data change event is recorded
Programs (that exist in the current PathCode) which write to environment specific tables – e.g. PDIS0970 writes to F9000 and the data change event is recorded
Note
ALLOut programs check against the configuration of the UDC (AOS/QS) before writing to the F9312 – this depends on the configuration of the AOS program(s) involved.
- The AOS/QS table should not be modified as it is only used for internal AOS reference.
- Before writing to the F9312, each AOS program checks the environment specific UDC configuration
- Configuration settings have defaults in each environment so even if they have never been consciously configured they are still used.
- JDE programs do not check this UDC configuration – the code of each program determines what is written.
ALLOut Audit Reporting
ALLOut Audit Reporting has been designed to fulfil all access audit reporting requirements – this includes reporting on both standard E1 audit events and custom ALLOut events. The report can be tailored to
print only the required audit information.
