How to Configure an Audit Database

A SOA Security Manager audit database is required to run SOA Security Manager audit–based reports.

Note: Although you can write audit information to a text file, you must store your audit information in a supported ODBC database to create and manage audit-based reports. For a list of the supported versions, see the SOA Security Manager r12.1 SP3 Platform Support Matrix.

Complete the following steps to configure an audit database:

  1. (Optional) If you have not already done so, configure a SOA Security Manager audit database.

    Important! If you are configuring the audit database in Oracle, be sure that the user account you supply does not have the DB role. If the user account has the DB role, audit–based reports do not return correct results.

  2. Register the audit database with the Administrative UI.
  3. Configure connectivity between the audit database and the Report Server.
