Error description

• If there are data extents that are marked damaged, an audit
  container process might fail with the following error:
  
  ANR4299I AUDIT CONTAINER: Internal extent repair process is
  currently running.
  
  The problem occurs due to a background repair process that has
  been granted exclusive access to the audit table. The audit
  container process requires exclusive access to this table as
  well and if the repair is long running, it can cause the audit
  process to fail.  This is a large window where the repair thread
  wakes and runs every 30 seconds. It can run upwards of 15-30
  seconds while interrogating the audit table for extents that
  need to be finalized in the repair process. The delay will be
  more noticeable as more entries are added to the audit table.
  The more entries in the damage table the more likely you are to
  hit this apar.   Due to the large timing window the Audit
  Container command is issued at the same time as the repair
  thread starting to execute the SQL.
  
  The QUERY DAMAGED command can be used to determine if damaged
  extents already exist prior to running the AUDIT CONTAINER
  command.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics (if applicable)

Local fix

• Issue the Audit Container command repeatedly every 3-4 seconds
  up to a few minutes, till you catch a window in which the Audit
  Container can be executed.
