Overview of log scans

Time frame (required)

Controls the range and the input source of the log scan

Log Master uses the input source for all of the log scans in the current work ID. You must specify a time frame to create a valid log scan step.

• Time frame definitions

• Defining a time frame

Filter (optional)

Enables you to select a subset of log records within the range of a time frame

Though not required, in practice, most log scans include a filter.

• Filter definitions

• Defining a filter in a log scan step

• Adding a filter association to a log scan step

Report or output file definitions (required)

Enable you to define forms of output for your selected task

For example, you can define an Audit report when you perform an audit on a select group of transactions. You can generate UNDO SQL to back out application transactions. Similarly, you can define MIGRATE DDL to move object structure definitions.

You must specify at least one form of output (a report or an output file) to create a valid log scan step.

• Reports from the log scan

• Output file definitions

• Defining an output SQL file

• Defining an output load file

• Defining an output logical log file

• Defining an output DDL file
