Creating an Effective Audit Subrecord
By Chris Malek | Tue, Jan 24, 2012
Here is a simple but invaluable audit subrecord that I like to put on all my records. It logs when the row was originally created and by who and when the row was last updated and by whom. This can be invaluable for debugging issues and doing research on data. You just need to put this sub-record on all your records and the code will fire automatically to set the audit fields.
Sub-Record Name: C_AUDIT
Field Name | Usage | Field Type |
---|---|---|
LASTUPDDTTM | The last date-time the row was updated. | DateTime |
LASTUPDOPRID | The last user who updated the row. | Char(30) |
C_CREATED_TIME | The date-time the row was created. | DateTime |
C_CREATED_USER | The user who created the row. | Char(30) |
The subrecord has one piece of Peoplecode on LASTUPDDTTM.SavePreChange
If GetRow().IsNew And
GetRow().IsChanged Then
GetRecord().C_CREATED_TIME.Value = %Datetime;
GetRecord().C_CREATED_USER.Value = %OperatorId;
GetRecord().LASTUPDDTTM.Value = %Datetime;
GetRecord().LASTUPDOPRID.Value = %OperatorId;
Else
If GetRow().IsChanged Then
GetRecord().LASTUPDDTTM.Value = %Datetime;
GetRecord().LASTUPDOPRID.Value = %OperatorId;
End-If;
End-If;
