Node:Audit-trail formats, Next:Outgoing email formats, Previous:Named query definitions, Up:dbconfig file
These formats are similar to the named query formats, but they include more options. They are used for formatting audit-trail entries and for outgoing email messages.
There is currently only one audit-trail format, defined by the
audit-trail-format
option:
audit-trail-format { format "formatstring" [ fields { "fieldname" [ "fieldname" ... ] } ] }
For those fields that require an audit-trail entry, the audit-trail text
to be appended is formatted as described by this format. The per-field
audit-trail-format
is used in preference to this one, if it
exists.
formatstring
and fieldname
are similar to those used by
the named query format. fieldname
may also be a format
parameter, which is a context-specific value. (Format parameters are
distinguished from fieldnames by a leading dollar sign ($
)).
The following format parameters are defined for
audit-trail-format
entries:
$Fieldname
$OldValue
$NewValue
$EditUserEmailAddr
EDITADDR
gnatsd
command or from the responsible
file; if not available, user's local address is used.
$CurrentDate
$ChangeReason
These parameters may be used anywhere a fieldname
can appear.
