Audit Log
The Teradata MDS Audit Log is a table in the MDS repository that contains an audit trail of changes to the Teradata metadata. The MDS DDL Gateway Integrity Servers and the metaload utility write entries to the table. When audit logging is enable, each update to the DIM causes an entry to be inserted into the audit trail table.
You can view the contents of the Audit Trail when logged on as Administrator through MDS Repository Explorer, MetaManager, or by using SQL directly.
The Audit Trail can be accessed through the metaauditlog table or the mdsauditlog view.
Entries to the Audit Trail log can be viewed or deleted with Teradata MDS Repository Explorer.
