AUDITFILE User Exit (deprecated)

Note: Audit Manager is deprecated and provided for backward compatibility only. We recommend that you use syslog events instead. See Enterprise Server Auditing for more information.

The interface to the AUDITFILE_EMITTER_EXIT entry point is as follows:

AUDITFILE emitter initialising: The exit may change the emitter's properties during its invocation.
AUDITFILE emitter deinitialising: The exit would typically release any resources it has acquired during its previous invocations.
The name of the audit file being made active.
The name of the audit file that is now full.
No audit files are available for outputting events to.

The AUDITFILE emitter loads the DLL or shared object named by the AuditfileExit property and invokes the AUDITFILE_EMITTER_EXIT entry point within it whenever an emitter status change occurs.

Syntax:

typedef cobrtncode_t (*PFI_AUDITFILE_EMITTER_EXIT)(cobuns32_t function,
                                                   cobuns8_t *emitter_name,
                                                   ...);

On Entry:

function

AUDITFILE emitter status change:

0	AUDITFILE emitter initialising. The exit may change the emitter's properties during its invocation
1	AUDITFILE emitter deinitialising. The exit would typically release any resources it has acquired during its previous invocations
2	A new audit file is being made active
3	The active audit file is now full
4	There are no audit files available for outputting events into

emitter name

The name of the emitter invoking the exit

...

A variable number of parameters depending on the value of function. When:

function=0	no additional parameters
function=1	no additional parameters
function=2	1 additional parameter: a null-terminated filename
function=3	1 additional parameter: a null-terminated filename
function=4	no additional parameters

On Exit:

Nothing

Return Codes:

Dependent upon the exit function. At present this should always be 0.

Comments:

Please note that the user exit should not be written in COBOL. See Sample file auditfile_exit.c for a sample user exit calling the AUDITFILE emitter.
