Reducing Audit and Trace Loads

CA Access Control uses a file system to keep audit data and trace data. Most processes in the system could be blocked while CA Access Control writes to this file system. To reduce access time to the file system, do the following:

• Set the audit mode only for resources and accesses you need.
• Open the trace only when you need to.
• Store audit file, trace file, and CA Access Control database files on the fastest available file system.
• Store the lookaside database directory on a fast file system.
