Hello and good day,

I am new to CDO but have nevertheless been working with it for some weeks now. Right now I'm using DBStore as CDO store variant. I have come across the property 'supportingAudits' and would like to see it in action, but I couldn't find any examples to get into it faster. Could someone please provide a short HowTo so I can try it out in our application? E. g. what do I have to give an Object so it gets audited? I have the prop in cdo-server-db.xml set, but of course I need a little bit more.

Further, until now I am not sure about its functionality (supportingAudits), besides providing finer grained revisioning for the Objects. e. g. modify an obj. 5x -> get five versions of the object in the database. Is this right?

Much thanks in advance,

Uri

Welcome ;-)

I don't have the time to write a how-to about auditing but it's not that difficult. You set the supportingAudits
property to true on a *new* repository. Then, whenever your client commits changes the old revisions are not overwritten
but kept in the DB. Note, that CDOTransaction.commit() returns a CDOCommitInfo which, in turn, provides you with the
exact commit timestamp (the commit ID). You can use this timestamp (or any other timestamp between repository creation
and now) with CDOView.setTimeStamp() to look at the object graph as it was at that time.

Auditing is a repository-wide setting and can not be different for particular objects.

Yes, that sounds right.

Hello Eike,

that sort of sums up what I needed to know, thanks for the fast reply Wink

One last though: Do you have any experience/good guess about the impact of enabling auditing on the overall performance? Of course there will be more SQL-statements being triggered, but how would it e. g. scale?

Greetings

Uri

From what I heard the impact on performance is not too bad. Make sure that you use the "horizontalAuditingWithRanges"
mapping strategy with DBStore if you work with large list features. That said, it's always best to prototype and measure
your specific scenarios.
