Ideas needed for capturing User login data from sys$sylogin.

[Robert Gezelter]

Thomas,

As John noted, the Accounting file is not written till the end of the session. As was also noted, the AUDIT log is written as events happen. An AUDIT listener is only needed in the event that is necessary to process events in real time, if they are merely to be examined later, the audit journal is sufficient.

There is no need for a shared file in this case, and indeed, if this data is being captured for some form of audit requirement, there is a STRONG reason that the file should not be a shared file writeable by all. The Audit log would fit the bill quite handsomely.

Depending on the sensitivity/size of the data, why not just log it to OPERATOR.LOG and extract it using a script?
