The APM is meant the follow only thing as far seen by SAS processing. You can follow everything as long the related event is audited. You are needing BI to analyse those events to you questions. In that you could solve data lineage. The whole auditing is based on ARM (log4j) using the bi-di server approach. Using a SAS base-foundation Arm is part of that, although I do not know how to activate those extensive loggings. Anyway the OS auditing should be always better. Unless you are using OS group-accounts not knowing who is who. Some weird idea of SAS it trying to overrule OS standards. ... no circumvention know to achieve that. 52078 - You can manipulate metadata-bound SAS data sets regardless of server authentication or permissions set on the file Knowing this and you can have external SAS processing (eg your backups/DR, managed file transfers) those logging-events should be get correlated to get the data-lineage complete. Do you have used DI for building processes the logical data linage is part of the metadata. Beware of dark areas as you should understand their functionality. One months quartely or even yearly jobs or event-based triggers can be really important. You will hardly see any usage. At the moment they are needed.....
