Auditing
The Auditing options allow you to maintain an audit trail of who has created, modified, deleted, executed, and aborted each job. When the auditing options are selected, an entry is written to the message log for the job whenever a selected event occurs.
Note: When a job is deleted, the message log (including audit messages) for the job is deleted. The audit message indicating that the job has been deleted, however, is not deleted.
When a job is modified, the auditing mechanism does not record information about what changed; it only records the fact that the job has been modified.
The Log Job Execution and Log Job Termination options cause an audit message to be written whenever a user manually starts or aborts a job. Regular, scheduled executions of the job do not result in an audit message.

Audit messages are saved in the message log for the job. To review the audit messages, use the Job Log section of the Jobs view, or the Message Log query. When using the Message Log query, you can query on Message Category 30 to retrieve only audit-related messages. |
