4.1.7 Database Update Audit Trail

An update audit trail is automatically built for each unit
database as part of normal processing output.  It is written
to the Database Input History Log File (ADMIHL) and is used
to track operational activity.

The file contains records documenting input data that has
been used to update the database for a given system (SYSID)
and component (such as RMF) for a given update cycle.  It
includes the time range the data encompassed and the number
of records that were processed.

The Input History Log File helps the System Administrator
answer questions about what data is in the Database.  Also
consult it when considering the use of the Select and Force
facilities.

You can browse the Input History Log via the online
Operational Status and Tracking facility.  You can also
access and report the ADMIHL file with a MICF inquiry.  See
the distributed BASLA1, BASLA2, BASLA3, and BASLA4 inquiries
for examples of accessing the ADMIHL file.
