Summary of Commands fixLogFile
UCS 1000 R4.2 Administration 585-313-507 Issue 3 April 2000 474
Description
When classes of logging messages are expanded, contracted, inserted, or
removed, fixLogFile
can change the index assignments of messages. When
this happens, messages whose indexes changed and were logged under the
previous environment become unexpandable by logCat. The fixLogFile
command, given information about the previous assignments and the new
assignments, upgrades logged data so that it remains expandable by logCat.
Each message is examined. If the class of messages appears in the new
environment and still covers the index assigned to the message, a new index
is assigned based on where it appears in the new environment. If the class of
messages is no longer part of the message logging environment or if a class
is reduced in size so that it no longer covers the index of a message, then it is
necessary to use one of the following three options:
• -d — Deletes the message entirely from the logging file.
• -r — Demaps the message. This entails expanding the message in the
old environment and then creating a new logging message using the
LOG_REMAP_DISCARD format. The data is still readable in the log files,
but is marked as being part of a discarded message environment. This is
the default behavior.
• -s {save_file} — Removes the message from the original logging file and
saves it in the specified file, thus preserving the unique data for possible
later retrieval.
