Just to let you know, all, that we stop using the audit
file for one reason, too much load on the RS6000 server.

Are we wrong or what ?

Now the system is working fine, multisite, accross the world

What were you logging? Just the changes in the setup/parameters or also transactions?

Dear All

Correct me if I am wrong---

When Audit is enabled it affects only the OS directory where audit information is written to and not the database.

If the above is true then there is no database load or maintenance.

thanks in advance for comments!

Obviously, auditing would generate some I/O but it is hard to believe it would slow down a complete system unless the system was close to its limits already or you have audited switched for every single table of your companies.

We were auditing all tables.
And yes the system was at its limits.

The I/O load was tomuch. Can you believe that !
4 CPU RS6000 with one gig of memory :p

Bob,

Why didn't you just properly configure the auditing? You can do with a minimum of auditing the parameter tables.
