Audit trail or audit log is a chronological sequence of audit records, each of which contains historical information resulting from the execution of import and export operations for a configuration or an batch-error if something goes wrong during the automatic execution.

Audit records are systematically created by Windchill Requirements Connector.

The following files are stored in a audit record:

Is a read-only copy of the configuration at the time when the configuration was executed. Its name corresponds to the original configuration.

Stores the actual audit record. Stored as audit.audit.

Generated by an export/import operation or a batch-error listing details about the exchange and the protocol log. This report is generated from the audit file. Stored as report.htm.

Generated by an import operation with updated documents listing the difference between the documents in the snapshot and the documents in the data source. Stored as preview.htm.

Is the generated archive of the RIF/ReqIF documents used by an import operation (currentImport.zip).

Is a copy of the local metadata database store. This directory does not exist when using the global replication.

An exchange summary is created for executed exports. It is an RTF file that gives the receivers of the exported RIF files an overview what specifications are included in the RIF files.
