DISABLE AUDITDUMP
The ABRUPT option offers a quick method for suspending an audit dump in progress.
Without this option, you would need to take the following steps to suspend that dump:
1. Issue a STATUS AUDITDUMP command to display the name of the current audit
dump process.
2. Issue a DISABLE AUDITDUMP command, identifying the process by its
associated audit trail, to disable the process. (At this point, remember, the dump
currently in progress still continues.)
3. Issue an EXIT command to terminate TMFCOM.
4. From TACL, enter a STOP command, using the audit dump process name, to abort
the audit dump process.
If ABRUPT is not specified, audit dumps in progress are not affected by the DISABLE
AUDITDUMP command. Of course, the audit dump process cannot dump any further
audit-trail files after you issue this command.
Examples
The following DISABLE AUDITDUMP command disables the audit dump process
associated with the master audit trail and immediately suspends dumping in progress:
TMF 21> DISABLE AUDITDUMP MAT, ABRUPT
The next DISABLE AUDITDUMP command disables the audit dump process
associated with the auxiliary audit trail AUX02, but allows it to complete the current
dump:
TMF 22> DISABLE AUDITDUMP AUX02
Caution. Leaving audit dumps disabled for long durations can cause audit-trail files to
accumulate. This accumulation, in turn, can potentially cause TMF to reach the
OVERFLOWTHRESHOLD and BEGINTRANSDISABLED limits.
