Automate the Archiving of Application Audit Records

Use the Windows and Linux scripts in this section to automate the process of exporting and archiving application audit data to a local computer.

Application audit data is retained for 365 days only. Customize these scripts and execute them once every 180 days, or as required by your data retention policies, to prevent the loss of historical audit data older than 365 days.

Note:

These scripts are tailored to archive data in local storage. You can modify them to archive the exported audit data files on network storage or in storage cloud (for example, Oracle Object Storage).
