Issue/Introduction

In the message IDMS DC050001 V1 T11 DCLOG IS 62% FULL, how is the percentage calculated?

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Resolution

During startup IDMS will check the log do determine the percent used in the log. From that point when IDMS writes to the log it checks to see if the percent full has increased by 12.5% from the last time it was written to the log. If it is, then the numbers will increase at about 12% increments. Now when the log gets to 78% full, the message will be written again when it gets to half of what is left.

Example.. If log is 80% full, the message will again be written at halfway to 100% which would be at 90% full.

The next message would come out at 95% then 97% then 98% and then finally the message: DC050004 V1 T87 *** DCLOG IS FULL ***
