Configuring the AuditTimer Parameter File

Complete the following steps to configure AuditTimer.

To configure AuditTimer

  1. Using CANDE or another editor, open the sample AuditTimer parameter file (DATA/AUDITTIMER/SAMPLE/CONTROL).
  2. Using values from the table below, edit day, time, interval, and SYNC interval (optional). The format should be as follows:

    day time interval [ SYNC interval ]

    For example:

    MONDAY 7 PM 12 HOURS

    SATURDAY 8 AM 1 DAY SYNC 30 MINUTES

    Save the sample parameter file as follows:

    DATA/AUDITTIMER/databasename/CONTROL

    where databasename is the name of the database for which you will be automatically closing the audit files.
