1.8 Audit trail commands

1.8.1 STATUS AUDITTRAIL

Use STATUS AUDITTRAIL to determine which audit trail files are still required by any Extract group. This command determines if a file exists, then supplies:

• The location of the file.

• Whether it is the original audit file (ORIG) or a dump (DUMP).

• Whether the file is on tape or disk. If audit is on tape, then this provides the information needed to restore dumps before processing — useful when an operator is not available while Extract processes are running.

Syntax
