Audit Log for QPR ScoreCard
|
||
All operations targeted at a QPR ScoreCard model can be recorded into a log file called "SCSAudit.txt" located in the folder that can be defined in the General tab of the Common settings section in the QPR Configuration Manager utility. To enable logging, launch QPR Configuration Manager, open QPR ScoreCard Server settings, open the General tab and check the Enable audit log checkbox.
