Secure-auditing facility

Auditing creates a record of selected activities that users perform. An audit administrator who analyzes the audit trail can use these records for the following purposes:

To detect unusual or suspicious user actions and identify the specific users who performed those actions
To detect unauthorized access attempts
To assess potential security damage
To provide evidence in investigations, if necessary
To provide a passive deterrent against unwanted activities, as long as users know that their actions might be audited

Important: Make sure that users know that every action they perform against the database can be audited and that they can be held responsible for those actions.

You cannot use auditing to track transactions to reconstruct a database. The database server has archive and backup facilities for that purpose. The HCL OneDB™ Backup and Restore Guide explains these facilities.
