Remediation - Manual Procedure

Run the following command to define an audit policy with the needed subset using the CREATE AUDIT POLICY SQL statement: 
DB2> CREATE AUDIT POLICY <audit policy name> 
           CATEGORIES VALIDATE STATUS BOTH, CONTEXT STATUS BOTH 
           ERROR TYPE AUDIT

To modify an existing audit policy, replace "CREATE" with "ALTER" in the preceding statement. Only the categories explicitly named in the statement will be affected.  In this case, the changes take effect immediately.
