Oracle Financials Auditing

I am auditing Oracle Financials (11.0.3 version)  via Oracle aiditing rather than via the the Financials.
I need to know the os username of the person who is running the app rather than 'applprd' or some generic aplication id.
I set up auditing ' by session' but I get the generic userid and the action_name is 'session rec' when I select from dba_audit_trail.
I would like to see the osusername and the action , such as  'select, insert, update,delete'.

This is one row of the output:

27-oct-04 10:24:19 applprd    APPS       APPLSYS    FND_USER                             SESSION REC

selecting  from the aud$ table is not giving the desired result either.
I also tried audit .. by access but the action_name comes out as 'session_rec' as well.

Thanks for the help.

If this is easier to do via the APP then I nedd to know how.

Hi praimsankar,
You could use the OSUSER from V$SESSION dynamic view.  You would need to have some way of identifying which session you are interested in.

Here's the columns in the aud$ view
The only one you could use are the USERID and USERHOST, and since you tried to audit
by access and session, nothing more can be done with the Oracle auditing.

Maybe the TERMINAL field could give you info on where the command is coming from.
Same info as in sqlplus:
select userenv('TERMINAL') from dual;
Gives you the name of your pc in client/server.
