The Audit File and the Audit Record

The audit files are located on the individual application servers.

You define the name and location of the files in a profile parameter, rsau/local/file.. When an event occurs that is to be audited, the system generates a corresponding audit record or audit message, and writes it to the file. The audit record contains the following information (if known):

· . Event identifier (a three-character code)

· . SAP user ID and client

· . Terminalname

· . Transactioncode

· . Report name

· . Time and date when the event occurred

· . ProcessID .

· . Session number

· . Miscellaneous information

You define the maximum size of the audit file in the profile parameter rsau/max_diskspace/local. The default value is 1 megabyte (MB) or 1000000 bytes. If the maximum size is reached, the auditing process stops.

The following instance parameters are related to the file for the audit log:

. rsau/local/file . name of the security audit log

. rsau/max_diskspace/local . maximum size for the file
