Tracking DAT / Database Changes Over Time, Similar to SQL ChangeLog
Hello,
We have a need to track Database changes over time - down to the SQL level of granularity if possible. Such as: User xyz runs routine ^abc and we get something similar to a changelog that tells us: table A had this value updated, insert, update etc....
Is that possible using IRIS level tools (Audit Log, Journal File, etc...) , is there a way to convert the global sets and kills from the journals into SQL level changes?
I also found a third-party java-based tool named Liquibase , but it seems more oriented to tracking schema and table based changes or pre-defined definitions.
Thanks,
James

James,
The system-provided audit events are documented here:
https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20201/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=GCAS_audit#GCAS_audit_sys_events
Check to see if these events will give you what you need:
There are many others that track logins and system changes.

If you control the DB schema, you can use triggers for this.
Hello,
I assume you are looking for something like CDC (capture data changes) for .
The basic idea is to programmatically read journal files record by record and analyze the SET/KILL ones (according to some dictionary you build to determine which globals or classes need the CDC capability).
I have done something similar using the ^JRNUTIL
