What size for LOGSIZE and LOGFILES on OWS 7.22

The two most common reasons for checkpoints are 1) the checkpoint interval has been reached and 2) the physical log is over 75% full. If the checkpoints appear to be closer than the checkpoint interval, I would guess that your physical log file is too small. Madison Pruet…
