ADD AUDITTRAIL
If the primary transaction management process (TMP) fails before the ADD 
AUDITTRAIL command completes, the backup TMP takes over and undoes the effects 
of that command before processing any new requests from TMFCOM. If both TMPs 
fail before the ADD AUDITTRAIL command completes, TMF also undoes the effects of 
that command.
If the ADD AUDITTRAIL command returns an error, files that were preallocated when 
active volumes were added might not be purged from the volumes; this occurs if the 
TMP loses access to these volumes. If you attempt to add these volumes as active 
again with another ADD AUDITTRAIL command, the existing files are purged before 
the new ones are created.
For more information about master and auxiliary audit trails, overflow volumes, and 
restore-audit volumes, see the TMF Operations and Recovery Guide.
Examples
The following ADD AUDITTRAIL command adds a master audit trail using the disk 
volumes $MAT1, $MAT2, and $MAT3 for the audit-trail files:
TMF 10> ADD AUDITTRAIL MAT, &
>>>ACTIVEVOLS($MAT1,$MAT2,$MAT3), &
>>>FILESIZE 20, FILESPERVOLUME 3,&
>>>OVERFLOWVOLS($DATA1,$DATA2),&
>>>OVERFLOWTHRESHOLD 80, BEGINTRANSDISABLE 95,&
>>>RESTOREVOLS $DATA1, &
>>>AUDITDUMP ON
The next ADD AUDITTRAIL command adds an auxiliary audit trail identified as AUX01, 
using the disk volume $AUX1 for the active-audit volume and $DATA3 for the overflow 
and restore locations:
TMF 11> ADD AUDITTRAIL AUX01, FILESPERVOLUME 6, ACTIVEVOLS & 
>>>$AUX1, OVERFLOWVOLS $DATA3, RESTOREVOLS $DATA3, AUDITDUMP ON
