Creating a data file for dbload

About this task

Procedure

The first step to prepare for SQL-based audit analysis is to use onshowaudit -l to extract selected audit records in dbload format and put them in an output file.
The following example extracts audit records for the user pat from the database server-managed audit file laurel.11 and directs the records to the records_pat output file:
onshowaudit -I -f laurel.11 -u pat -l > records_pat
Important: You must remove the six header lines that are in the output file before you use the file as input for the dbload utility because dbload cannot process the header lines.

The command-line syntax to extract information with onshowaudit is explained in The onaudit utility: Configure audit masks.
