This example loads all data load waiting audit trail files in the HiRDB file system area (/secarea) into the audit trail table (table name SQL_AUDIT_TRAIL). The following is the specification of the pdload command for this example.

Example pdload command specification

 
pdload -b -W SQL_AUDIT_TRAIL /pdload/control_file
 

Explanation

• The -b and -W options must be specified.
• Specify the audit trail table for the table name.
• The following explains the contents of the control information file.

Example of specifying the control information file

 
source bes1:(uoc)
srcuoc param='dir=/secarea,file=all,mode=normal'
 

Explanation

source bes1:(uoc): Specifies the server name (bes1) for the server in a HiRDB parallel server configuration. You can specify a server name in the unit where the audit trail files are located. You can specify any server name in the unit, but if you specify a back-end server, you can eliminate a communication bottleneck. If the standby-less system switchover (effects distributed) facility is being applied to the unit where the audit trail file exists, specify the server name of the system that is running on that unit.

dir: Specifies the HiRDB file system area that stores the audit trail files to be data loaded.

file=all: Specifies that all audit trail files in the HiRDB file system area are to be data loaded. However, the current file and files in shutdown status are excluded.

mode=normal: Specifies that data load completed files are not to be data loaded.

Remarks

If mode=force is specified, data load completed files are also data loaded. You would specify force in the situation explained below. Note that when force is specified, the same data might be recorded twice, so care must be taken not to record data that has already been recorded.

• If the audit trail table's data was deleted inadvertently and there is no backup, it would be appropriate to data load all audit trail files in order to recover the audit trail table

The following table shows whether data loading can be executed, depending on the audit trail file status and user-specified values.

Table 24-19 Whether data is loaded depending on the audit trail file status and user-specified values

Audit trail file status		User specified value
Shutdown status	Data load status	mode	file=file-name	file=all
Not shutdown	Data load waiting	normal	Executes data load processing from the audit file.
	Data load completed		Skips data load processing from the audit file, and continues processing.	Does not perform data load processing from the audit file.
Shutdown	Data load waiting
	Data load completed
Not shutdown	Data load waiting	force	Executes data load processing from the audit file.	This is a user specification error.
	Data load completed
Shutdown	Data load waiting		Skips data load processing from the audit file, and continues processing.
	Data load completed
--	Current	--	Skips data load processing from the audit file, and continues processing.	Does not perform data load processing from the audit file.
