Description
If the configuration of the Database Management System's (DBMS's) auditing is spread across multiple locations in the database management software, or across multiple commands, only loosely related, it is harder to use and takes longer to reconfigure in response to events. The DBMS must provide a unified tool for audit configuration.

Fix Text (F-38354r623637_fix)
