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.
