I have set AUDIT_TRAIL to DB as full for my process models. I have a requirement to view the container values at various activities of my model. The Container_Content field in the AUDIT_TRAIL table is a BLOB field which I assumed will contain the container content in some serialzed manner. On query the field doesnt seem to contain the container values of my processes.
Does it mean the container content is not audited or do we have to use the global container option to obtain results. any ideas?

I am somewhat confused by your question.... The only data written to the Audit record would be Global Container updates.
If you need to access the blob, I believe you could reconstruct the container using the ExecutionService::readOnlyContainerFromStream(byte []).
If you need to access the actual input and/or output containers of an activity you can get their contents via the ActivityInstance object.

I was of the opinion that the input/output containers of all activities will be audited and hence by using the audit trail we could fetch the container content of finished processes at various stages.
I'll probably try the global container option. Are there any docs on how to use the global container

No container information is written to the audit trail, except for the Global container information.
There is not too much doc on the use of the GC but I believe there is some in the Buildtime manual.
GOOD LUCk

Hi,
We also have the same requirement. We want to pass certain container info to audit trail.
But regarding the global container (GC) usage I have the following doubts.
1. Is it true that it can be set only once during process creation?
2. Again the only API I found was to retrieve the GC from a process instance. Is there any API to chnage the value and pass it back to the process instance?
3. Any detailed doc/manual/support pac about this?
An example or more details is greatly appreciated, because like any project, we are in a crucial stage to make design decision as to use global container for this purpose or not..
Thanks,
-murali |

No the global container is updated after each activit that has a data connector that runs to the GC.

Changes are only made via mapping once the instance starts

Not to my knowledge
