file to the spooler control file. Because the rebuilt control file is first created as a
temporary file, the CREATEAUDIT attribute is not applied and the rebuilt file is not
created as an audited file.

If for any reason a rebuild of the Spooler is necessary, proceed as follows:

1. Stop the Spooler.

2. Rebuild the control file by starting the Spooler with the REBUILD option.

3. Stop the Spooler once more.

4. Audit the new control file.

5. If the REBUILD is performed on the same system (if not required because of a

takeover situation), move the control file to the backup system.

6. WARM START the Spooler.

SORT and SORTPROG

Do not prepare any FastSort components. The FastSort utilities use bulk file transfers
to access the input, scratch, and output files, which improves performance. However,
such transfers cannot be audited.

FTP

NonStop AutoTMF software supports FTP file transfers to audited files. To enable this
feature, do the following:

1. In ESCORT CI, prepare the FTPSERV object file.

2. In FUP, license FTPSERV.

3. In ESCORT CI, configure the target files for the transfer to be created as audited

files:

The transferred files can then be replicated using RDF or another replication method
that uses the audit trail.

File Transfer Processing

A process Exclusive OPEN of an audited, unstructured file is converted to a
Shared OPEN and the file is locked with a LOCKFILE operation under an
automatic transaction.

On an audited, unstructured file, OPEN for "unstructured access" and SETMODE
141,1 operations are suppressed. The disk process supports large transfers to
unaudited, unstructured files without requiring the OPEN option or the SETMODE.
Both operations interfere with writing to an audited file.
