The audit configuration registers every step and change made in the Administration Server log
file ( .log ). The following example shows the wlsadmin user changing the JTA timeout from
30 to 300 :
<BEA-159904><USER wlsadmin MODIFIED com.bea:Name=PROD_DOMAIN,Type=JTA
ATTRIBUTE TimeoutSeconds FROM 30 TO 300>

Enabling the protection changes can also be done through WLST.
Protecting changes using WLST
You can use WLST to make the exact same configuration changes. The exception is the
Preferences section, which is a bunch of parameters from the Administration Console
application and not from the WebLogic domain:
1. Log in as a wls user to shell and start WLST:
[wls@prod01]$ $WL_HOME/common/bin/wlst.sh
2. Connect to the Administration Server using wlsadmin as the user, <pwd> as the
password, and t3://prod01.domain.local:7001 as the server URL:
wls:/offline>connect("wlsadmin","<pwd>","t3://prod01.domain.
local:7001")
3. Run the following WLST commands:
edit()
startEdit()
cmo.setConfigurationAuditType('logaudit')
cmo.setConfigBackupEnabled(true)
cmo.setArchiveConfigurationCount(250)
save()
activate()
exit()
