Journal

Overview

Journal automatically manages database changes by documenting and reporting exceptions made to the database journal. This cutting-edge security and organizational solution provides expert field-tracking and monitoring. Journal is a valuable tool for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and other auditing regulations.

The Journal Solution

Until now, database management has lacked the proper tools to monitor data modification down to the field level. Journal offers a streamlined and easy-to-use solution. With Journal, every field is tracked and monitored so that a trigger may be initiated if, for example, the amount of a bank loan has been modified by more than 20%. Journal also provides tools and analysis capabilities to compare the changed data values and results with the previous data.

Journal Reports

Journal's reports specify not only the changes in data but also who made the changes, at what time, from which application, and more. Journal also includes the Application Journal feature in which journaled data from several files can be cross-referenced by referral to joint information in all relevant files; that is, fields from different files can be identified as containing the same logical information (item number, loan ID, patient identifier, etc.). With this feature, it is possible to obtain the history of a transaction by referring to the same ID across many files. Information accumulated over the years can be accessed in near real time mode. Data retrieval is simple and is defined in accordance with user needs. Journal provides users more control than ever before over the flow of information within the organization.

Includes easy-to-use Audit Log
