DBILOGENTRY

Table Czar(s):

Nick West

Description:

This table records significant changes in other database tables. It does not record updates produced automatically by systems such as the DBU and the DCS.

Usage in the offline software:

The table is informational only; it is not directly use by any software.

Validation for entering new data:

Entries can be created as other tables are updated using DbiWriter or manually using the dbmjob executable. In the case of DbiWriter all the information, appart from LOG_REASON is collected from the table being updated, so should be valid. When using dbmjob, the system checks to see if the update referred to exits but, having asked for confirmation, will allow a user to create a DBILOGENTRY for a non-existent update. In either case there is no attempt to "validate" LOG_REASON.

Process for automated filling:

Table not updated automatically or info not available.

Additional information:

To examine DBILOGENTRYs use Database Updates Search
