Managing databases tables
The Registry persists information, such as settings and structural metadata to a database. The only time you may need to directly modify this database without using the Registry User Interface is to possibly remove unwanted logging information. Generally Metadata Technology does not recommend modifying database tables unless explicitly instructed to do so.
Logging Tables
Auditing and Logging in the Registry can produce large amounts of data, which is stored in the following 3 tables:
- registry_audit
- registry_logs
- registry_logs_zip
The table registry_audit stores Audit information for requests received directly to Registry Web Services (e.g. the Data Transformation Web Service) as well as calls directly to the GUI and any Web Services that are called as direct consequence of that (e.g. the front page of the Registry 'overview.html' calls subsequent Web Services ). The registry_logs and registry_logs_zip tables are used for storing logging information which is the information generated by the Registry logger. This information is usually output to the Apache Tomcat file "FusionRegistry.logs" but can also be stored in the database.
