CBL_AUDIT_EVENT (deprecated)

Outputs an audit event.
Note: Audit Manager is deprecated and provided for backward compatibility only. We recommend that you use syslog events instead. See Enterprise Server Auditing for more information.

Syntax:

call "CBL_AUDIT_EVENT" using by value     flags
                             by reference component-id
                             by reference audit-event
                                returning status-code

Bit Value Meaning
0-12 Reserved for future use (must be 0)
13 0 cblte-audevt-event-data is an array of pointers to trace data of varying size and type. The corresponding elements of the cblte-audevt-event-len and cblte-audevt-event-type arrays need to be set up.
  1 cblte-audevt-event-data is an array of pointers to trace data of the same size and type. Only the first element of cblte-audevt-event-len and cblte-audevt-event-type need to be set up.
14-29   Reserved for future use (must be 0)
30 0 component-id is space-terminated
  1 component-id is null-terminated
    (ignored if bit 31 unset)
31 0 component-id is an audit handle created by CBL_AUDIT_HANDLE_GET (pic x(4) comp-5).
  1 component-id is a text string (pic x(n)) . The termination character for the string is defined by bit 30.
component-id
Component identifier. This will either be a pic x(4) comp-5 tracer handle (See CBL_AUDIT_HANDLE_GET() - Get an Audit Handle for details about how a component acquires an audit handle) if bit 31 of flags is not set, or a pic x(n) text identifier if bit 31 of flags is set.
cblte-audevt-version
Structure version. Must be 0.
cblte-audevt-flags
Control flags. Must be 0.
cblte-audevt-id
Component specific audit event identifier used to identify the type of event being output
cblte-audevt-category
Category of the audit event being output. 
Value Category 
0 Unknown 
1 Audit Facility 
2 System 
3 Security API request check 
4 Security API request define 
5 Security API request other 
6 Security API result allow 
7 Security API result deny 
8 Security API result error 
9 Security API result success
cblte-audevt-data-count
Number of audit data items. Indicates the number of elements in the cblte-audevt-event-len, cblte-audevt-event-type, and cblte-audevt-event-data arrays. May be 0.
cblte-audevt-event-len
Pointer to array of 4-byte comp-5 items. Each array element indicates the length of the corresponding audit data item in the cblte-audevt-event-data array. May be NULL if cblte-audevt-data-count is 0.
cblte-audevt-event-type
Pointer to array of 4-byte comp-5 items. Each array element indicates the type of the corresponding audit data item in the cblte-sudevt-event-data array. May be NULL if cblte-audevt-data-count is 0. 
Value Type 
0 Binary 
1 Text (local encoding) 
2 Address 
3 COMP-5 
4 COMP-X 
5 UTF8 
6 Signed COMP-5 
7 Signed COMP-X
cblte-audevt-event-data
Pointer to array of pointer items. Each array element addresses an audit data item of the type and length indicated by the corresponding element in the cblte-audevt-event-type and cblte-audevt-event-len arrays respectively. May be NULL if cblte-audevt-data-count is 0.

N.B. for address type items, the array element is the address value, and not a pointer to the address value.
