Audit Policy Maintenance APIs

This appendix describes several Progress 4GL APIs used to implement the OpenEdge Audit Policy Maintenance tool. This tool allows you to create and maintain audit policies in an OpenEdge RDBMS. For more information on audit policies and the Audit Policy Maintenance tool, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Core Business Services .

If you want to provide a different front-end for the Audit Policy Maintenance tool, you use the information in this appendix to understand how to maintain the same back end. If you want to build your own auditing configuration tools, you can use the APIs described in this appendix as building blocks for these custom tools.

This appendix contains the following sections:

API overview
Generic utility API
Caching API
Exporting policies to XML
Importing policies from XML
Additional audit policy procedures

For basic information on implementing auditing tools in the Progress 4GL, see Chapter 3, "Auditing," in this manual.
