Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:

Updating an existing OpenEdge 4GL application with auditing

If your application already has auditing support, you can migrate the application (provided you have audit data archiver privileges) to use the new OpenEdge auditing by doing the following tasks:

Migrate existing data into the OpenEdge auditing schema format using a designated 4GL application run by an audit data archiver.

This includes adding to the application any code required to support auditing, creating a policy, identifying the events to audit, committing the changes, and activating the policy. Additionally, the schema trigger settings must be removed.

Migrate your application’s trigger code to remove the record-level information and form the application-level information to fit into the Progress 4GL language statements and auditing record field formats.
