Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Core Business Services

Reporting by user ID

The user ID recorded for the audit data depends on how the user has been authenticated as well as the settings in the database options. The possibilities are the current user who connected to the database (using the -U and -P connection parameters), the user as set by the
SET-DB-CLIENT function for a particular database, or the application-wide user set by the SET-CLIENT( ) method.

The latter two represent new functionality available in OpenEdge Release 10.1A. The new database option can also be set to always use the application user ID for auditing.
