Reusing sequence files

Suppose you have a table with start sequence 0 and end sequence 49 for a total of 50 audit files. In the first run, each sequence file is created. After all 50 sequences are created and used, the audit server will try to use sequence 0 again. Rather than overwrite the file, the audit server then sends an error message that says that the file must be deleted before the server can reuse the files. You must run the Purge Audit Files (ttaad4161m000) session to delete the file before the audit server can continue.

Always use the Purge Audit Files (ttaad4261m000) session to delete the sequence files rather than commands such as rm or del, because the status of the sequence file is maintained in the sequence header in the information file. If this session deletes the sequence file, the session also sets the status of this sequence in the information file as deleted. If the file is removed by any other means, the status is not set and this results in inconsistency.
