The Audit history retention policy determines whether to retain information about the results of completed audits and the objects that were audited. The policy specifies how many days to keep history information and how many audit runs to keep, as well as whether details about audited library-based objects and audited DLO and IFS objects are to be kept with the history information. Each audit is evaluated individually against the policy values.
The policy is checked when an audit runs to determine whether to keep details about the objects audited by that run. The policy is also checked when system manager cleanup jobs run to determine if any audit has history information which exceeds both specified retention criteria. The policy value in effect at the time each check occurs determines the result.
To change the audit history retention policy, do the following:
From the MIMIX Intermediate Main Menu, select option 6 (Work with Audits) and press Enter.
Determine whether to change the policy for the installation or at the data group level. From the Work with Audits display, do one of the following:
To change the policy for all audits in the installation, press
F16(Inst. policies). Then, press Enter when the Set MIMIX Policies (SETMMXPCY) command appears.To change the policy for all audits for a specific data group, type
36(Change DG policies) next to any audit for the data group you want and press Enter.
Locate the Audit history retention policy. The current values for the level you chose in Step 2 are displayed. Specify values for the elements you want to change.
Note: When large quantities of objects are eligible for replication, specifying *YES to retain either Object details or DLO and IFS details may use a significant amount of disk storage. Consider the combined effect of the quantity of replicated objects for each data group, the number of days to retain history, the number of audits to retain, and the frequency in which audits are performed.To accept the changes, press Enter.
