MESSAGE

Invalid Lock Point found in Audit Point File. (DBERR 504)

CAUSE

The Audit Point File contains a log file lockpoint that is invalid. You probably used a Recovery File (generated by the AUDIT command) for the Audit Point file for the LOCK AUDITPOINT command.

ACTION

LOCK AUDITPOINT should only use Audit Point files that were generated by calling GET AUDITPOINT.

507
MESSAGE

Log history does not go back far enough for partition !. (DBERR 507)

CAUSE

This error indicates that the log files have wrapped around and overwritten some of the committed transactions for the partition. If this is encountered, the specified partition will be dropped from the list of auditable partitions.

ACTION

To prevent this from happening, LOCK AUDITPOINT can be used to protect transactions committed after the beginning audit point is defined. If it is necessary to get the unaudited transactions, the SQLUtil command WRAPDBE can be used to retrieve them. See the ALLBASE/SQL Database Administration Guide to determine how best to do this.

508
MESSAGE

Unable to open scan for partition ! due to status of !. (DBERR 508)

CAUSE

ACTION

Verify the list of partitions is correct and check the previous reported errors to determine possible actions.

514
MESSAGE

File is not a valid Audit Point File. (DBERR 514)

CAUSE

SQLAudit has determined that the file is not an Audit Point File.

ACTION

Check the file name entered to determine if correct.

515
MESSAGE

Error ! occurred while writing Audit Point File. (DBERR 515)

CAUSE

You encountered a file system error while trying to create and write out the audit point information into the file. Usually this is caused by file permissions, or possibly lack of disk space.

ACTION

Check to make sure the file name used was correct. If the file name is correct, make sure the file and/or directory permissions are correct and that there is enough space to write the file.

517
MESSAGE

Native Language Support Error ! encountered. (DBERR 517)

CAUSE

A native language support (NLS) error was encountered by the last command. This usually means that the proper language was not correctly installed on the system, or that you may have an invalid language specified.

ACTION

Check with the system administrator to insure that your language has been installed on the system, and check the language to ensure it is correct.

519
MESSAGE

Non Existent File entered. (DBERR 519)

CAUSE

You entered a file name that does not exist on the system.

ACTION

Check the partition name or number that was entered.

524
MESSAGE

Ending Audit Point missing partition instance ! (!). (DBERR 524)

CAUSE

This should only be possible if the database has been hard resynced by an ALLBASE/REPLICATE user.

ACTION

Determine if the database is being used as a master or slave in an ALLBASE/REPLICATE environment and whether it has been hard resynced lately. If it has been hard resynced, a new beginning audit point should be defined after the hard resync has finished.

526
MESSAGE

Transaction encountered that is greater than ending transaction for partition instance ! (!). (DBERR 526)

CAUSE

The only way this should be possible is if the ending audit point was not generated on the database that is being audited. For instance, if the ending audit point was generated using a different database then used against the audited DBEnvironment, this type of situation can arise.

ACTION

Determine if the ending audit point file was actually generated against the DBEnvironment being audited.

527
MESSAGE

Error ! occurred while opening Recovery File. (DBERR 527)

CAUSE

A file system error occurred while trying to create the recovery file. This is usually due to an incorrect name being used, or the file/directory permissions are not set correctly. This may also be due to a lack of disk space.

ACTION

Check the recovery file name specified and make sure it does not exist before doing the audit. Also check disk space, and directory permissions.

ACTION

Check the subject entered. Allowed subjects are any SQLAudit command, or the keywords GENERAL, MAIN, or SUMMARY. If you wish to leave the SQLAudit help facility, type '//'.

535
MESSAGE

The requested editor could not be scheduled due to error !. (DBERR 535)

CAUSE

SQLAudit was unable to start the editor that is currently set.

ACTION

Check which editor is currently set (through the SET command). If the editor does not seem valid, change it through the SET EDITOR command. Also check to make sure it is possible to start the editor from outside SQLAudit.
