Hi,
I am using db2 V9.5 ESE on windows.
I am trying to extract the log data into delimited ASCII so as to load the audit data in tables. but doing this creates the *.del files but with no data. I executed the following command for extraction

>db2audit extract delasc delimiter ! from files db2audit.db.AUDIT.log.0

AUD0036N Extract can not be performed on the active audit log file "C:\DOCUME~1
\ALLUSE~1\APPLIC~1\IBM\DB2\DB2COPY1\DB2\security\a uditdata\db2audit.db.AUDIT.log
.0".

AUD0001N Operation failed.

how do i inactivate the log file and then do the extraction?

db2audit flush
db2audit archive

Thanks Getting the expected results.
But at the load time, it throws the below error:

>db2 load from objmaint.del insert into schemaName.tableName
SQL0104N An unexpected token "insert" was found following "<identifier>".
Expected tokens may include: "OF". SQLSTATE=42601

I checked in the information center for the syntax. Tried including modified clause and lobinfile clause also, though not required always but its giving similar kind of error.

That's a load problem - not audit. You are missing file type, e.g.
LOAD FROM objmaint.del OF DEL insert into schemaName.tableName
