Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for auditing select enterprise data, stored in a database of a computer, of an enterprise application non-invasively, wherein the computer includes a processor and memory performing the method comprising: providing one or more configuration facilities to audit said enterprise data of said enterprise application; viewing configuration parameters in said one or more configuration facilities to audit changes in said enterprise data of said enterprise application, wherein said viewing configuration parameters automatically generates drill down views in said one or more configuration facilities to provide a history of said changes in said enterprise data; changing said configuration parameters so that auditing to changes of said enterprise data of said enterprise application is performed only on select enterprise data, wherein a set of rules specified on logical entities of said select enterprise data in said configuration parameters enable audit performed on changes to said select enterprise data; generating database triggers by invoking an audit trail component in said one or more configuration facilities to identify said changes to said select enterprise data in said database, wherein said one or more configuration facilities maps said logical entities of select enterprise data to a set of physical tables in said database, and wherein said database triggers are invoked in context of changes to said select enterprise data, and wherein said invoked database trigger's persists changes to select enterprise data in said audit trail component; and auditing said select enterprise data in context of changes using said database triggers and one or more configuration facilities non-invasively, and wherein said generated database triggers invoked based on said set of rules specified to said select enterprise data in said context of changes enable auditing changes non-invasively.
