12.1.1 Functional overview

Execute the adbconvertaudittrailfile command when you use JP1/Audit Management - Manager (JP1/Audit) to collect and manage audit trails of the HADB server.

When the adbconvertaudittrailfile command is executed, the audit trails in the audit trail file can be converted into the format (common format) that can be used by JP1/Audit. The audit trails that are converted by the adbconvertaudittrailfile command are output to common format audit trail files.

The following figure provides an overview of the processing of the adbconvertaudittrailfile command.

Explanation:

When the adbconvertaudittrailfile command is executed, the audit trails in the audit trail file on the HADB server are converted to the format (common format) that can be used by JP1/Audit. The conversion results are output to the common format audit trail files under the output-directory for common format audit trails. This processing is called conversion of audit trail files.

■ Common format audit trail files

The audit trails converted by the adbconvertaudittrailfile command are output to these files. The converted audit trails can be collected and managed by JP1/Audit.

For details about common format audit trail files, see 12.1.2 Swapping common format audit trail files.

For details about coordination of the audit trail facility and JP1/Audit, see Linkage between the audit trail facility and JP1/Audit Management - Manager in the HADB Setup and Operation Guide.

Note

The current audit trail file cannot be converted. If you want to convert the current audit trail file, you must execute the adbaudittrail --swap command to swap the current audit trail file.
