Hi all,

just a dumb qestion. Between Spectrum 10.2.0 & 10.2.3 some ideas regarding VNM.OUT rotation were implemented:

Spectroserver - split debug data from VNM.OUT or add VNM.OUT log rotation 

Extension for VNM.out rotation 

Save .bak log files with time stamp extensions 

We have bunch of old files on the server and they are deleted after some amount of time. Good!

Now the question: is the number of files VNM.OUT / ARCHMGR.OUT to be kept configurable?

Hilmar

Hi Hilmar,

  No, it is not configurable.  

Cheers

Jay

Hilmar,

It can be configured in the idb file for the process with the LOGBACKUPMAX parameter. For example, in SS.idb file located in the $SPECROOT/lib/SDPM/partslist, 

$ cat SS.idb

# Processd Install Ticket for SpectroSERVER Daemon.

PARTNAME;SS;

APPNAME;SpectroSERVER Daemon;

WORKPATH;$SPECROOT/SS;

LOGNAMEPATH;$WORKPATH/VNM.OUT;

LOGBACKUPMAX;10;

ADMINPRIVS;y;

#AUTORESTART;N;

#AUTOBOOTSTART;N;

STATEBASED;y;

NUMPROCS;3; // unlimited

RETRYTIMEOUT;0; // seconds

#TICKETUSER;$USER;

RETRYMAX;0;     // retries

STARTPRIORITY;20;

SERVERPROCESS;Y;

#ENV;<var>=<value>;

ARGV;$SPECROOT/SS/SpectroSERVER<CSEXE>; //

I stand corrected!

Hi Joseph,

many thanks for the answer! I guess the same option is valid for other idb files too, writing log files, e.g. ARCHMGR. Correct? Thanks!

Hilmar

SS and ARCHMGR are both set to LOGBACKUPMAX;10; out of the box
