Completing Prerequisite Activities
Before setting up the auditing features, you must complete the following prerequisite activities:
Define an OID generator code. The system prompts for this code during installation or conversion.
Create, configure, and start audit databases. These tasks are performed outside the system using MFG/UTIL before any auditing information can be successfully saved to an audit database. For details, see the installation guide.
Set up an administrator group in Security Control (36.3.24) to receive automatically generated e-mail notifications related to audit processing. This group also receives e-mail notifications for security violations and failed e-signature attempts. See Administrator Group.
Note: These activities, while related to auditing, are described more fully in other documentation. This section provides an overview of the activities and how they affect the auditing process. Refer to the referenced documentation for additional details.
