    We're looking to establish some fine-grained auditing here - at least specifically to try to track who deletes data from specific tables. The weblogs are, how shall I say this - filled with a lot of information <!--emo&-->blink.gif<!--endemo--> and still don't provide a good trail to find this data. IOS provides the same voluminous info, again, without the detail we need. Our oracle logs give great info - except that since it's database auditing, the user ID is always the admin ID (and he doesn't have rights to mess with data on the app side!).

    I've seen the name Machensoft - and I'm willing to explore any and all suggestions. Your reviews on this option or any others, and if you can, even a ballpark estimate of costs?

    Thanks

      Machensoft was my choice, but the powers wouldn't buy it. It was written by a former VP at Lawson and looks awesome. I believe they are part of McKinsey now. Under $100k.

          FYI, it's "Kinsey & Kinsey", not McKinsey.

          Kinsey & Kinsey also sells a LSF9 security migration and management tool that automatically migrates LAUA security classes to LSF9 security roles.  In the process, it optimizes the security as well (meaning it finds/corrects redundant classes, etc).  The product has analysis tools that make it easy to view and report on security topics such as who is accessing which tokens, etc.  They claim the price is substantially less than Lawson Fast Track solution, takes 1/5th the time, and has superior reporting. Probably worthwhile for organizations that wish to leverage their LAUA class definitions, are experiencing issues managing a large number of security classes, or have a number custom programs.  If interested, you can contact Kinsey & Kinsey Sales at: sales@kinsey.com or 1-630-858-4866.
          Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
