ADTERR configuration parameter

ADTERR specifies how the database server behaves when it encounters an error while it writes an audit record.

default value
0
range of values
0, 1, 3

0 = continue error mode

When it encounters an error as it writes an audit record, the database server writes a message of the failure into the message log. It continues to process the thread.

1 = halt error mode: suspend thread processing

When the database server encounters an error as it writes an audit record, the database server suspends processing of the thread until it successfully writes a record.

3 = halt error mode: shut down system

When the database server encounters an error as it writes an audit record, the database server shuts down.

takes effect
When onaudit is run to change the value or after shared memory is initialized. ADTMODE must be nonzero (auditing is on).
utility
