In recent years, organizations have been faced with many new compliance and audit reporting requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and various other government and state regulations. These regulations often require that organizations be able to identify who is accessing and/or updating information on their databases.
As of r16 SP4, the CA IDMS journal files have contained the user ID on the BGIN checkpoint journal records and as of IDMS Server r16.1, the journal files have contained the external user ID from web-based applications (if passed to the backend CA IDMS system) allowing for the identification of the actual user of an application where the web-based application signed on to the backend CA IDMS system with a generic user ID. JREPORT 008 and the CA IDMS Journal Analyzer Chronological Event Report report the user ID and external user ID (when available), and JREPORT 009 and JREPORT 010 provide reports specifically on the user ID and external user ID respectively.
These enhanced reports can be used to determine which user has made changes to database records and what was changed.
