DBU Audit
DBU Audit gives administrators control over their databases by allowing them to track and monitor any modifications that have been made to any System i database using DBU.
DBU Audit works by journaling all adds, changes, deletes, reactivation of deleted records and viewing of sensitive data made by users through DBU to a standalone IBM journal. DBU Audit goes beyond the base DBU change logs spool files by storing the data in journals that are secure and cannot be modified. This simplifies the ability to track and report on changes to your database files for regulatory compliance management or internal control requirements.
