To Dump and Generate a Report for an Audit File

Syntax:

You use the Audit Manager Administration command line utility to do this.

mfauditadm -r [-date date] [-time time] -d [-o report-file-name] -f audit-file-name

Parameters:

-f `audit-file-name`	The audit file to be dumped and for which a report is to be generated.
-d	Mark the file as dumped.
-r	Generate a report.
-o `report-file-name`	Name of the report file to be created. If this option is not specified, the report file will be derived from the `audit-file-name`, where the extension will be replaced by .txt. For example, if the audit-file-name was specified as mfaudit.DOCTEST.aud_3, the report file created would be named mfaudit.DOCTEST.txt

Example:

mfauditadm -r -d -o auditdata.txt -f mfaudit.DOCTEST.aud_5

Note:

To dump or generate a report for the active audit file, you must first make it available for dumping. Once an audit file has been dumped, you cannot generate a report for it, nor can you dump it again, until it has been reused by the audit consolidator process.
