Use
The Security Audit Log saves its audits to a corresponding audit file on a daily basis. Depending on the size of your SAP System and the filters specified, you may be faced with an enormous quantity of data within a short period of time.
We recommend archiving your audit files on a regular basis and deleting the original files as necessary.
Use this procedure to delete old audit files. You can either delete the files from all application servers or from only the local server where you are working. If an application server is not currently active, it will be included in the next reorganization.
This procedure only deletes the audit log file(s)! It does not perform any other administrative tasks such as archiving. If archives are necessary for future references, you must manually archive them before deleting.
You cannot purge files that are less than 3 days old!
Procedure
The Security Audit: Delete Old Audit Logs screen appears.
This value must be > 3.
Result
The system deletes the corresponding audit files (unless you chose to simulate). You receive a list showing how many files were deleted and how many were retained on each application server.
