Handling server and client operations uninterruptedly during pack and audit processes

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, in which the processor is configured to perform the steps of:
• receiving, at an information server, a query for a database in communication with the information server;
• executing, by the information server, the query against the database;
• storing, by the information server, a record of the query in a first audit trail;
• determining, by the information server, that a size of the first audit trail has reached a predetermined threshold size;
• and
• when the size has reached the predetermined threshold size, the processor is further configured to perform the steps of:
• initiating, by the information server, a pack process on the first audit trail to switch from the first audit trail to a second audit trail;
• receiving, by the information server, a second query for the database while the pack process is executing;
• and
• storing, by the information server, a record of the second query in a third audit trail while the pack process is executing.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory medium comprising:
• code to receive, at an information server, a query for a database in communication with the information server;
• code to execute, by the information server, the query against the database;
• code to store, by the information server, a record of the query in a first audit trail;
• code to determine, by the information server, that a size of the first audit trail has reached a predetermined threshold size;
• and
• when the size has reached the predetermined threshold size, the computer program product further comprising:
• code to initiate, by the information server, a pack process on the first audit trail to switch from the first audit trail to a second audit trail;
• code to receive, by the information server, a second query for the database while the pack process is executing;
• and
• code to store, by the information server, a record of the second query in a third audit trail while the pack process is executing.
