How to keep data in view DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL , i.e. AUDS$ table for a longer duration ?

User_XEAE4May 11 2016 — edited Jun 13 2016

Folks,

I just started the auditing at the database level i.e. audit_trail=db_extended for my 11.2.0.3.

Basically I am auditing, DDL statements , by 2 db users in the database.

It is working, however the information in the dba_audit_trail view is changing (The view dba_audit_trail  shows only few rows).

I understand that that view, dba_audit_trail is based off the AUD$ table.

So i am thinking there is some sort of maintenance job, set by default, that maintains the amount of data in the AUD$ table.

My goal is to capture the data in the view dba_audit_trail for a longer duration, say for the last 15 days , that probably trickles down the AUD$ table ?

It seems there is some maintenance job etc, that keeps deleting data from AUD$  . --- This might be an Oracle default maintenance job ?

Thanks,

Ashish
