This document outlines 8 steps to create an audit trail for the table FND_LOOKUP_VALUES in an Oracle application: 1) Find the application name, 2) Ensure audit is enabled for that application, 3) Create an audit group for the table, 4) Run a concurrent program to create audit tables and triggers, 5) Verify the audit tables were created, 6) Test the audit trail by creating new lookup data, 7) View the audit data that was captured, and 8) Optionally add more columns to the audit trail.
![Lets say that we wish to create a audit trail on a table named FND_LOOKUP_VALUES.
Step 1: Find the name of Application for table to be Audited
Lets first find the application name of this Oracle Apps table.
SELECT application_name
FROM fnd_application_vl fav, fnd_tables ft
WHERE ft.table_name = 'FND_LOOKUP_VALUES'
AND ft.application_id = fav.application_id
The above SQL returns Application Object Library.
Step 2: Ensure that Audit on the Application is Enabled
Navigate to System Administrator Menu Security/AuditTrail/Install
The owner of table FND_LOOKUP_VALUES is APPLSYS. Hence query on APPLSYS to
ensure that Audit is enabled for this Application.
Step 3: Create Audit Group
Navigate to System Administrator Menu Security/AuditTrail/Groups
Application Name: Application Object Library
Audit Group: XX Audit Lookup Values
Group State: Enabled
Now, add audit tables to this group[you can add as many tables]
User Table Name: FND_LOOKUP_VALUES](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/audittrial-160928060313/85/Oracle-EBS-R12-Audit-trial-1-320.jpg)

- 1. Lets say that we wish to create a audit trail on a table named FND_LOOKUP_VALUES. Step 1: Find the name of Application for table to be Audited Lets first find the application name of this Oracle Apps table. SELECT application_name FROM fnd_application_vl fav, fnd_tables ft WHERE ft.table_name = 'FND_LOOKUP_VALUES' AND ft.application_id = fav.application_id The above SQL returns Application Object Library. Step 2: Ensure that Audit on the Application is Enabled Navigate to System Administrator Menu Security/AuditTrail/Install The owner of table FND_LOOKUP_VALUES is APPLSYS. Hence query on APPLSYS to ensure that Audit is enabled for this Application. Step 3: Create Audit Group Navigate to System Administrator Menu Security/AuditTrail/Groups Application Name: Application Object Library Audit Group: XX Audit Lookup Values Group State: Enabled Now, add audit tables to this group[you can add as many tables] User Table Name: FND_LOOKUP_VALUES
- 2. Step 4: Run Concurrent program“AuditTrail Update Tables” This process can be run from System Administrator responsibility. It has no parameter. Running this process will create the Audit tables and the triggers that manage Audit data. Step 5: Ensure that Audit Tables have been created as expected SELECT object_name, object_type FROM all_objects WHERE object_name LIKE 'FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_A%' OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE -------------------------- -------------------------- FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_A TABLE FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_A SYNONYM FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AC TRIGGER FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AC1 VIEW FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AD TRIGGER FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_ADP PROCEDURE FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AH TRIGGER
- 3. FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AI TRIGGER FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AIP PROCEDURE FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AT TRIGGER FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AU TRIGGER FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AUP PROCEDURE FND_LOOKUP_VALUES_AV1 VIEW Fine, this proves that the concurrent program in Step 4 did its job. Optionally, you may run concurrent process “AuditTrail Report for Audit Group Validation” to validate the success of Audit Table/Trigger creation. Step 6: Now create a new lookup type to test Audit Trail Navigate to “Application Developer” responsibility and create a lookup type and Lookup codes as below. Step 7: Now see the results of the Audit Trail Now run the query below, you can see the Audit information has been generated. SELECT audit_transaction_type ,audit_user_name ,audit_sequence_id ,lookup_code ,lookup_type FROM fnd_lookup_values_a
- 4. Step 8: Add further columns for Audit Trail By default Oracle will Audit Trail on all columns that are a part of first available Unique Index on FND_LOOKUP_VALUES. However further columns can be added to the Audit Trail. Lets say you wish to Audit Trail on Column Meaning too. Navigate to System Administrator Menu Security/AuditTrail/Tables You can add additional columns to audit trail and re-execute Step 4. Please note that adding columns for Audit could have been done immediately after Step 3. This explains how you can Audit trail changes to Data in Oracle Applications, without writing a single line of code.
