You can archive audit data using either the Audit Archive utility provided by OpenEdge or an archive tool you have developed. In both cases, audit data archiver privileges are required.
If your long-term storage area grows too large, you can do any of the following (again, provided you have the requisite permissions):
Use the archive tool to truncate the data.
Use the archive tool to move the oldest audit data to a new OpenEdge database and then move that database to offline storage.
Archive the audit data tables and move the files to long-term storage. Then, use the archive tool to truncate the online audit data.
Develop a full set of audit reports for the oldest audit data and archive the reports. Then, use the archive tool to truncate the online audit data.
Use the archive tool to truncate the data.
