Environment Variable Audit

vivek.kumar.goel — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 02:23:00 GMT

Hi Folks.

I searched a lot in the database, but unable to track the following changes to an environment variable.
1- Who changed it's value?
2- When was it changed?
3- What was the previous value?

Is there a way to figure this out?

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. I tried that on BP 6.X and it worked fine.

Any idea if it's available for BP 5 as well?

Yes it should do, that table has been in the DB for years, although I'm not sure point (3) has always been around.

Thanks John.

That would also help me push my client for an upgrade 🙂

I couldn't remember exactly what version of BP 6.x got the update where environment variable changes are indicated in the audit events log, so I checked the release notes. It turns out it wasn't added until 6.5.

Here's an excerpt from the Release Notes for BP 6.5:
"The following improvements have been made to Blue Prism auditing functionality:...
• Audit log entries are now created when environment variables are added, edited, and
deleted from the within the System tab."
