Parameter
rsau/max_diskspace/per_file
Short text
Maximum size of one single security audit file
Parameter Description
The parameter specifies the maximum size of a security audit file. This means the file size can be adjusted to the requirements of any available archiving software. For example, the size can be restricted to 650 megabytes in order to be able to archive on normal CDs. If this size is reached, then a new audit file is started. The counter in the file name is then increased by one for the new file.
Only when this parameter is greater than zero can more than one audit file be created each day. In this case the file name of the audit failes also changes (see parameter FN_AUDIT).
Application Area
System
Parameter Unit
• Whole number without suffix: Unit Bytes
• Whole number with suffix “k” or “K”: Unit Kilobytes
• Whole number with suffix “m” or “M”: Unit Megabytes
Default Value
0 (= only one audit file each day, as before 4.6A)
Who is permitted to make changes?

Operating System Restrictions
None
Database System Restrictions
None
Are other parameters affected or dependent?
This parameter is only relevant if
– Parameter rsau/enable has value 1 (audit is activated) or audit with transaction SM19 is activated dynamically.
If the parameter is set greater than zero, then the parameter FN_AUDIT must be converted to the necessary file name template. In addition to this the parameter rsau/max_diskspace/per_day must be set with a value that is at least three times larger.
Values allowed
• Whole number => Unit Bytes
• Whole number with suffix “k” or “K” (without blank) => Unit Kilobytes
• Whole number with suffix “m” or “M” (without blank) => Unit Megabytes
The maximum size is 2 GB (= 2.147.483.647 Bytes).
The minimum size is 1 MB (= 1.048.576 Bytes). A smaller value is changes by the kernel to 1 MB.
Entries in bytes are converted internally into kilobytes.
