Documentation

Definition

You have the option to log checks for generic whitelists in the Security Audit Log (SAL). You can choose between the following options:

• N - No recording in the Security Audit Log (default setting)
• E - Record failed checks in the Security Audit Log (for critical processes)
• A - Record all checks in the Security Audit Log (exceptional setting for troubleshooting)

The following SAL messages are used for the logging:

• DUL - Check on &A in whitelist &B was successful
• DUM - Check on &A in whitelist &B failed

If an active whitelist is changed, the event DUN is triggered, regardless of this parameter.

Use

Dependencies

SAL messages are only written if the Security Audit Log is active and the current filter settings contain the messages listed above.
You can check this with transaction SM19.
