When you choose the Load as Text (.ad file) option from the Load Audit Policies submenu, the Load Audit Policies Text dialog box appears, prompting you to enter the name of an Input Directory. The Input Directory is the directory where the .ad files are stored.
Note: The connected user must have Audit Archiver permissions in order to access the Load Audit Policies Text option. If a user without Audit Archiver permissions selects this option, the Data Dictionary creates the _aud-audit-policy.e file in the intended load directory.
If the Data Dictionary encounters errors when validating the file or directory name or when verifying that the database is connected, it creates an error file called _lodsec.e and places it in the intended load directory. If the load directory does not exist, the Data Dictionary places _lodsec.e in the session's current working directory.
If the Data Dictionary encounters errors during the load process, it creates an error file in the intended load directory. The Data Directory names the error file for the table it encountered the error on and gives it a .e extension.
