Re: Audit log retention & disk space

Yes, this "COMMON" thing I keep hearing about. ;) I was actually going to
go on my own dime this year, but it conflicts with my nephew's HS
graduation.

I figure 12 months of audit journal receivers would take about 31% of
total disk space.

Nothing jumped out at me. And I did a little looking.
If you can pin Larry Youngren down (he's often at COMMON) he really knows
journalling. Generated a patent or two...

Aw, come on, journal receivers really don't take that much space, do they?

It's been recommended that we retain our audit log journal receivers on
DASD to 3-12 months. I figured the amount of disk required for that, and
it's not good. I know that DB journals have ways to reduce their size. Is
there anything similar for the audit journals? Other than changing what's
logged, any way to reduce their size?

TIA
