Environment

Release : 12.6.05, 14.0, 14.1

Component : CA Directory

Cause

"Log Roll Over Created Incorrectly" issue happens when alarm and/or trace Directory logs are configured for roll-over, i.e. the settings are:
set rollover-alarm-log = true;
and/or
set rollover-trace-log = true;

If alarm and/or trace log for the previous day is deleted, DSA still holds corresponding file descriptor, and  a log file with the same name as of a deleted file is created during roll-over.

Resolution
