Audit archive process
Archiving your audit data is a multi-step process that varies depending on your environment. You archive data to an archive file with PROUTIL AUDITARCHIVE, and you load data from the archive file with PROUTIL AUDITLOAD, as shown in the following figure.

Note: Audit archive files created with OpenEdge Version 12.0 can only be loaded by the OpenEdge
Version 12.0 audit load utility. They cannot by loaded with prior versions of the audit load
utility. Audit archive files created by audit archive utility versions prior to OpenEdge
Version 12.0 can be loaded by the OpenEdge Version 12.0 audit load utility.
The user performing the audit archive must have the Audit Archive privilege for the source database; the user performing the audit load must have the Audit Data Archiver privilege for the target database. For complete utility details, see PROUTIL AUDITARCHIVE qualifier and PROUTIL AUDITLOAD qualifier.
