EMS Manual—426909-005

536: ZEMS-EVT-COL-PURGETABLE-OVRFLO
ZEMS-TKN-SUBJECT-MARK (shared)
is, for this message, a valueless token.
ZEMS-TKN-COLLECTOR (nonshared)
specifies the collector type. This token has the value 1.
ZEMS-TKN-PURGEDLOGFILE (nonshared)
is the file name of the file that needs to be purged manually.
Cause. The primary collector, $0, is creating log files much faster than the distributors
can read them. When $0 cannot purge the oldest log file (because a distributor is still
accessing it), it saves the log file name in an internal table so that it can attempt to
purge it later. This table overflowed and the oldest entry was deleted. The token
ZEMS-TKN-PURGEDLOGFILE contains the log file named that was stored in the
deleted entry.
Effect. The oldest entry in the $0 internal table containing log file records to be
purged, must be purged manually.
Recovery. HP recommends two possible actions:

Determine why so many events are being generated, and attempt to reduce the
number of events being generated.

Make the log files larger so they hold more event messages. Use EMSCCTRL with
the keyword EXT (to adjust the size of file extents) to increase the size of the log
files.
