Audit trail and audit host settings

Before you can create an audit trail, this information is required:

• The size of the trail files, sequence files, that are created. Define the trail file size in the session. The maximum number of sequence files for each table/company combination is 999. You cannot delete the currently active file. Specify a file size that make it possible to delete old files, and keeps at least the currently active file. The trail file size must be large enough to store the audit trail of a large transaction, otherwise, the transaction is stopped.
• The path to the directory where the audit trail files are stored. Define the paths in the session.
• The security settings for reading, maintaining, and deleting the sequence files. Define the security settings in the file.
• The audit host settings: Define the audit hosts in the session. You can define audit hosts for each company. Defining audit hosts is optional. If no host is defined for a company, the local system is used as host. If a master application server is used, and one or more other application servers, ensure to define audit hosts. Otherwise, the transaction IDs in the audit trail might not be successive.
