onaudit + onshowaudit Utility (How auditing is made in the IDS 11.5)

Submitted by karthik04 on Tue, 2009-09-22 08:49

Hi ,

I want to make use of the onaudit and onshowaudit utility in IDS 11.5 (Express Edition )

As I have configured the onaudit in the /home/informix/aaodir

O/P of onaudit -c
ADTMODE = 1
ADTERR = 0
ADTPATH = /home/production/audit_log
ADTSIZE = 5000000
Audit file = 0

When i try to run the new log audit file with the option
onaudit -n
Onaudit -- Audit Subsystem Configuration Utility
The directory name specified by the ADTPATH configuration parameter does not exist or does not have the necessary permissions.
