Historical Audit Trail Information Missing after Siebel 8.0 Upgrade

Hi Friends,

If you have just upgraded to Siebel 8.0, then be prepared to have a big shocker in waiting! All the historical audit trail information will be missing from UI due to the New Encoded Audit Trail storing mechanism introduced in Siebel 8.0

A major change in Siebel 8.0 is the query formed while retrieving the Audit Trail records:
" WHERE
((T1.BC_BASE_TBL = ?) AND
(T1.RECORD_ID = ?))"

All Historical Audit Trail records would be having BC_BASE_TBL column as null causing this issue.
If you are thinking to populate this column using EIM, then it wont work as S_AUDIT_ITEM does not have the required userkeys.

So how to go about populating BC_BASE_TBL directly? We need to query S_BUSCOMP & get the Base Table name for each record.

I have wrote a PL/SQL Block for directly updating S_AUDIT_ITEM which will populate the BC_BASE_TBL for all the historical records inorder to resolve this issue...


I hope this helps to all who have recently upgraded to Siebel 8.0!
Welcome to Siebel 8.0 :)

Enjoy!
