4.113 DBA_AUDIT_MGMT_CLEAN_EVENTS

DBA_AUDIT_MGMT_CLEAN_EVENTS displays information about the history of audit trail cleanup or purge events.

Periodically, you should delete the contents of this view so that it will not grow too large.

Note:

This view is intended for use with traditional auditing (pre-Oracle Database 12c auditing) only, not for unified auditing.
