HFM audit data export utility availability in version 11

Question

Hi Experts,
We have a client who has a HFM environment where the audit & task logs grow very large very quickly.
They need to be able to archive and clear the logs. They are too large for EPM Maestro to handle and they don't want to schedule them as a regular event.
I am concerned because I am sure that these large log tables are impacting performance.
They want to know if the old system 9 utility they used to use is still available in the latest version. It was called the HFM audit data export utility. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance and kind regards
Jean

I know this is a reasonably old post but I found it through Google. To help those in the future, this utility is available via Oracle Support. It is HFM Service Fix 11.1.1.2.05 but it is compatible up to 11.1.1.3.
Here is the Oracle Support KB Article:
*How To Extract the Data Audit and Task Audit records of an HFM application to a File [ID 1067055.1]*+
Modified 23-MAR-2010 Type HOWTO Status PUBLISHED
Applies to:
Hyperion Financial Management - Version: 4.1.0.0.00 to 11.1.1.3.00 - Release: 4.1 to 11.1
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
Some system administrators of Financial Management desire a method to archive / extract the information from the DATA_AUDIT and TASK_AUDIT database tables of an HFM application before truncating those tables.
Solution
Oracle provides a stand alone utility called HFMAuditExtractUtilitiy.exe to accomplish this task. As well as extracting the records of the two log tables, the utility can also be used to truncate the tables at the same time.
The utility comes with a Readme file which should be consulted for more detailed instructions on how it should be used.
The latest version of the utility which is compatible with all versions of HFM up to 11.1.1.3 is available as Service Fix 11.1.1.2.05 (Oracle Patch 8439656).
