Hello Reinhard,
yes indeed, we had NO problem at all running this audit DB online. It sure
depends on what kind a failure you got in your DB....

So we have been lucky!

But, as we cannot afford 3 days without adsm, this was the only one solution
to eliminate the DB problem (errors in one of the expire which had for
effect that a given Filespace could not be deleted (exported anymore) ...

Best regards,

Rene Lambelet
