Use the AUDRECFM record to specify the record format of the CA VM:Director AUDIT file.
AUDRECFM {F | V}
AUDRECFM is defined in the PRODUCT CONFIG file.
Specifies that the CA VM:Director AUDIT file will have a fixed length record format with 80 character records. If no AUDRECFM record is present the default file format is fixed length records, for compatibility with previous releases.
Specifies that the CA VM:Director AUDIT file will have a variable length record format with a minimum record length of 80 characters and a maximum record length of 256 characters per record.
The VMDIRECT AUDIT file exists in one of two administrator selected formats. The traditional AUDIT file consists of fixed-format, 80-byte records that contain common and variable information. The enhanced AUDIT file uses variable length record format to contain up to 256 bytes of information per record. New information for some AUDIT codes will be added in new fields which start in column 81. Such new information will not be available when fixed length AUDIT records are configured.
During startup, any existing file on the AUDIT disk must have a record format which matches the AUDRECFM specification, otherwise the CA VM:Director server will not come up. However, the administrator may change the record format, while CA VM:Director is down by issuing a simple COPYFILE command, after accessing the AUDIT file as the A disk in the VMDIRECT server machine. To convert the file from FIXED format to VARIABLE, issue:
COPYFILE VMDIRECT AUDIT A ( RECFM V LRECL 256
To convert the file from VARIABLE to FIXED format, issue:
COPYFILE VMDIRECT AUDIT A ( RECFM F LRECL 80 FILL 40
Converting from VARIABLE format back to FIXED format will cause the loss of any record fields after column 80.
Note: For more information about the record fields, see the AUDITEXT command.
