A Summary of Commands fixLogFile
UCS 1000 R4.2 Administration 585-313-507 Issue 3 April 2000 476
${LOGROOT}/data is examined to see if it is a compressed logging file. If it is
not, it is ignored. If it is, it is converted.
After the files are converted, the time stamps are reapplied so they have the
same date after conversion as they did before the conversion.
Caveats
The fixLogFile command only takes care of changes in classes of logging
messages. For example, if the class PERM was added, removed, or moved,
fixLogFile could correctly deal with the changes to the logging files. The
fixLogFile command does not deal with reorganizations or changes of
messages within a class. Do not change the order of appearance messages
or the arguments to a logging message if you expect to be able to expand the
data in the future or save the previous textLogFmt file for the expansions.
If the conversion takes place while the logdaemon process is running, be
sure to either stop and restart logdaemon or reinitialize it using the reinitLog
command.
