Limit regarding the cleansing of Audit Trail

LauryJul 28 2015 — edited Jul 31 2015

Hi,

I have an Oracle RDBMS 11g that makes use of the Standard Audit Trail.

I would like to keep the audit for 3 months from the date the cleansing runs, meaning that will have the Audit Trail for 3 months back from the date I look at it.

But I have read that there is a limitation of 999 hours to set the "clean up interval".

For cleasing I ise a scheduled program like:

BEGIN

DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.SET_AUDIT_TRAIL_PROPERTY(

  AUDIT_TRAIL_TYPE            => DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.AUDIT_TRAIL_AUD_STD,

  AUDIT_TRAIL_PROPERTY        => DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT.CLEAN_UP_INTERVAL,

  AUDIT_TRAIL_PROPERTY_VALUE  => 999);

END;

/


Can someone confirm if this is correct or not?

If yes, does this also apply to Oracle RDBMS 12c.

Thanks by advance.

Kind Regards
