Create and Configure Audit Databases
Audit databases must be created outside of the system. This guide assumes you have already created one or more audit databases. You must have an audit database configured and running before the auditing functions can connect to it. The audit database creation and maintenance tasks are detailed in the installation guide.
You define the parameters for connecting to the auditing database using Audit DB Maintenance. This activity is described in this chapter.
Note: Electronic Signatures also uses audit databases for storing archived records. As part of the creation and configuration process, you should consider whether you want to use separate audit databases just for this purpose, or use the same database for both audit trails and electronic signature archives.
