ALTER AUDIT SERVICE Command
operating-mode
specifies the audit service operating mode to be altered. Any operating-mode
not specified in this command retains its current settings. The operating-mode
values are:
WRITE-THROUGH CACHE { ON | OFF }
EOF REFRESH { ON | OFF }
RECOVERY recovery
WRITE-THROUGH CACHE { ON | OFF }
ON specifies that after each audit record is written, the block in which it resides
is written to disk.
OFF specifies that a block modified as a result of writing an audit record can be
cached in memory and not written to disk immediately.
The initial setting of WRITE-THROUGH CACHE is OFF.
EOF REFRESH { ON | OFF }
ON specifies that the end-of-file pointer in the disk file label is updated each
time an audit file record is written (even if the record is cached in memory).
This mode is implicitly activated when WRITE-THROUGH CACHE is ON.
However, if EOF REFRESH is ON, it is not deactivated if WRITE-THROUGH
CACHE is OFF.
OFF specifies that the end-of-file pointer in the disk file label is not updated
until an audit file record is written to disk.
The initial setting of EOF REFRESH is OFF.
RECOVERY recovery
specifies the action to be taken if the current audit pool becomes filled or
inaccessible and the next audit pool is undefined or inaccessible.
recovery
can be any of:
RECYCLE [ FILES ]
SUSPEND AUDIT
DENY GRANTS
RECYCLE [ FILES ]
specifies that the oldest unreleased audit file is to be reused. This file is
purged, and it
s name is changed to that of the next audit file in
sequence. RECYCLE FILES is the initial RECOVERY setting.
Under certain circumstances, audit files in $SYSTEM.SAFE are not
re
cycled. For more information, see
Considerations on page 4-7.
