Howdy,

     Assuming that you have a Change Management package, some folks create a 
"routine" change, monthly or whatever, to track trivial system or 3-party 
product changes for audit or other purposes.  In this scenario, tasks are 
created under the change that detail each change made.

HTH,

Subject: Changes to the system/3rd party products [ EXTERNAL ]

We've been getting a lot of questions from audit regarding how we can tell if 
ALL changes are authorized.  In the past, we've told them all changes are 
tracked/approved via our Change Management Software.  The changes are not 
actually promoted via the CMS though.  Recently, they've been pushing the issue 
more and now it's come to us having to track all system dataset, as well as 3rd 
party product datasets and each one that's changed tie it back to a Change 
Package.  Has anyone else ran into these types of issues and if so, how did you 
handle this.

Does anyone have any method/product to do this?

Any help would be appreciated.
