ASSD - Ho(s)tel Management Software PMS 3

Audit-Trail is a log/history function which stores all changes made in the databases.

 

In order to be able to use the function, please set the field audit = Y in the area Settings, General Settings Supervisor.

 

Now, the system saves all changes into an external file. This happens simultaneously: as soon as a change is made, it is stored into the log file.

 

Supervisors can view a table of all changes under Maintenance/Database Audit Trail.

Audit Trail and the log files created with the help of this functions are the basis of an incremental backup e.g. on an FTP server and a roll forward of the log files.

 

Incremental backup via FTP server. This data can be transferred to a system copy automatically, e.g. of the managing house. With the help of this option, an up-to-date system is also available centrally as well. Please activate Audit Trail, set up the export function in the area Auto-Update (aupd) and create the file "assdoriginal.txt" above the ASSD folder which identifies this computer as the original computer (live hostels) (if necessary you can make changes via the field "aupd"). This file should be located outside the ASSD directory, in order not to create an update in the system copy. Do not create this file anywhere else nor copy it to other locations! Please pay special attention to copies on the same system – do not create them on the same level as the original.

 

Roll Forward. This function also uses the log files created by Audit Trail. With the roll forward option, you can create an up-to-date system by using an older system backup and the log files.
