Audit Trail File Sizes (ttaud3135m000)

Use this session to determine the size of the audit trail files ( sequence files).

The system can store a maximum of 999 sequence files for each table/company combination. When you exceed this number, you must purge the existing sequence files with the Purge Audit Files (ttaad4261m000) session.

To define a good file size, keep in mind the following considerations:

The audit data is stored per transaction. If a single transaction generates too much data to be stored in a sequence file, the transaction is aborted. Therefore, the sequence file size must enable you to store transactions that involve many changes in a table, for example, an update of all fields in several columns.
If the file size is too small, you reach the number of 999 too quick, and you may be required to purge files you still want to keep.
If the file size is too big, you are unable to delete a part of the audit trail, because you cannot purge the current sequence file.
