You may want to control when audits are allowed to run based on the state of the data group at the time of the audit request. For example, if you end MIMIX so that a batch process can run, you may want to prevent audits from running while data groups are inactive. If a data group process has a backlog during peak activity, you may want to prevent audits from running while the backlog exists. Or, you may want to prevent only automatic recovery from occurring during a backlog or when the data group is inactive. The Action for running audits policy provides the ability to define what audit activity will be permitted based on the state of the data group at the time of audit request. This policy can be set for an installation or for a specific data group.
