Managing partitions

Use this procedure to manage partitions. Partitions are available to divide the audited information into smaller units. These partitions are automatically created when an ongoing audit is changed but can also be manually created.

Use this procedure to manage partitions.

  1. Open the FAT Manager. The Field Audit Trail tab is displayed.
  2. Select a system configuration in the list.
  3. Select the audit and click Edit.
  4. Click the Partitions tab.
  5. The currently available partitions are displayed with these properties:

    • The name of a partition consists of three parts: schema name, table name, and a sequence number for the partition.

    • The date columns show for how long the audit partition was used and the size is the number of records in the file. The current partition always has the size -1.

    • The Comment column state the reason for creating a new partition:

      • Audit changed break - a new partition was created automatically when the audit was changed, for example, a new field added to the audit.

      • Manual break - a new partition was manually created using Manual break.

  6. To manually create a new partition, click Manual break.
  7. The Partition window is displayed. Click Create Partition.

    The new partition is created with the current date and time in the Date from column and has a name where the number at the end has increased by one.
