Example 1: Auditing changes made by a randomly selected user
You can specify a BMC AMI Log Master log scan step to create a filter that examines the AUTHID for a particular user ID, and define a time frame that spans all transactions for the month.
BMC AMI Log Master produces the Audit report by default.
The following figure shows with changes to the selected authorization ID and the time frame, you can run the job whenever an auditor requests a random check. The following figure is an example of an audit process.
The overall process for this task is as follows:
