- action_type
- Displays what action
was performed on the object. The appropriate values for this field
are dependent on which action is being performed.
For the plan, the <action_type> can be ADD, DELETE, MODIFY, or INSTALL.
For the database, the ADD, DELETE and MODIFY actions are recorded for workstation, workstation classes, domains, users, jobs, job streams, calendars, prompts, resources and parameters in the database.
The <action_type> field also records the installation of a new Security file. When makesec is run, HCL Workload Automation records it as an INSTALL action for a Security definition object.
LIST and DISPLAY actions for objects are not logged.
For parameters, the command line with its arguments is logged.
- workstation
- Displays the HCL Workload Automation workstation from which the user is performing the action.
- user_ID

this field depends on the object type as shown here:
