Issue/Introduction

Introduction: 

Is there a way to retain the event logs longer than 7 days?

 

Question: 

As we need to review the scheduler logs for problem tracing, we need to retain 6 months’ event logs in the system. Is there is any way to reconfigure the DB Maint process to keep 6 months event logs instead of only 7 days.

 

Environment:  

For 11.3.6 Sp2 of Autosys and Above

 

Answer: 

The event_demon and as_server logs are not deleted by DBMaint. In 11.3.6 Sp2 there is a new parm that controls when the logs are deleted in the config: 

 

This new feature of AutoSys is set in the config file for AutoSys (Unix or Windows). 

$AUTOUSER/config.$AUTOSER (unix / linux) or %AUTOUSER%\config.%AUTOSERV% (windows) 

There is a section in the config file using PURGE.

# Keyword: LOGROLLOVER=<value> 

# 

# Specify when to roll over the Scheduler and Application Server 

# log file. 

# 

# Valid values are: 

# 

# OFF = Do not roll over the log file. 

# MIDNIGHT = Roll over the log file at midnight. 

# SIZE(n) = Roll over the log file when it becomes 

# larger than the value specified in number 

# of megabytes. 

#*****************************************

# PURGE(n) = Remove all the application generated log 

# files older than the value specified in 

# number of days. 

#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

# MIDNIGHT,SIZE(n) = Roll over the log file at midnight or when 

# it becomes larger than the value specified 

# in MB.

LOGROLLOVER=MIDNIGHT
