I have been given the task of assembling a list of critical files for JDE SOX Compliance. We are thinking of files, that if altered could cause major system problems or a shut down.
I have submitted tickets to Oracle. But they do not really have a list of such files. The one support person was approaching it to assemble a list of critical files if they were missing. I think that could include almost any file, since there may be a file that is not used, but referenced in many RPG programs, and if deleted would cause many programs to be broken.
It gets somewhat subjective too, I guess. Removing records from the UDC file may shut things down, but maybe not. Also, removing an item from the item master may cause critical problems, or not.
I guess it would be what is considered control files? Generally smaller files, that do things like next numbering and such, calendars, or the company constants file. I have searched the web and found lists of files but not categorized by type of file. Type being control file, or constants file.
