How can I drain logfiles in IDS 7.3 NT? I am developing so I don't need to
save data, I just want to clean the log. I can do it by executing ontape -a
and if LTAPEDEV and TAPEDEV are set to NULL, but I don't know how exactly I
must do it: Have tried:
TAPEDEV \\\\null
LTAPEDEV \\\\nullor
TAPEDEV null
LTAPEDEV null
but when I execute ontape -a I receive the following:
Please, mount tape 1 on \\\\null and press RETURN...
Logbackup failed - function open tape device \\\\null failed code -1 errno 2
Another question :how can assign more log files and larger? By default I
always obtain 10 of 500 Kb, although I set LOGFILES and LOGSIZE to different
values and restart the server.
Please, respond ASAP.
Thank you
