Auditing is the important feature provided by the OIM.

audit data and they revise their audit data regularly.

OIM has table named as UPA which stores the data related with the audit.
When user make any changes in their profile all the changes are stored in the UPA table as the
snapshot.
Somes time you may find that the UPA table is null or from some point in time no snapshot has
been genrated or after doing any changes in user profile attribute UPA table size remains the
same(Column number remains the same).
