5 Getting Started With SAFEART
This section describes basic rules for using SAFEART, the Safeguard Audit Reduction
Tool. SAFEART extracts information from the Safeguard audit files and produces
reports of audited events based on criteria you specify.
SAFEART provides two types of commands:
•
Session-control commands manage your interactive session.
•
Report generation commands control the format, content, and destination of your
report.
You can use SAFEART in either interactive or batch mode. Use interactive mode for
simple reports that are required once or infrequently. In this mode, enter SAFEART
commands at your terminal to define the report and then use the START command to
produce the report.
Use batch mode for regularly required reports that use the same selection criteria or for
reports with complex selection criteria. For this mode, you store the SAFEART
commands in a disk file and then execute an OBEY command or run SAFEART with
an IN option.
This section begins with instructions for running SAFEART. The basic command rules
and the SAFEART session-control commands are described under Command Rules
on page 5-2 and SAFEART Session-Control Commands on page 5-4, respectively. If
you are already familiar with SAFECOM, you might not need to read this section in
detail.
These three sections also pertain to SAFEART:

Section 6, Producing SAFEART Reports

SAFEART report.
Section 8, SAFEART Error Messages

Note. For the D30 product version, SAFEART does not support earlier product versions of the
audit files. If you want to produce reports from earlier versions of audit files, retain the previous
product version of SAFEART.
