Browsing Through an Earlier Activity Log File in the Current Log Set
To browse through an earlier activity log file in the current log set, use the SWAP
LOGFILEn command.
For example, if the current activity log file is LOG2, you could enter the following
command in the Activity Log Browse command line to browse through LOG1:
SWAP LOGFILE1
A message similar to the following would appear in the line directly below the
command line:
NNM1517 LOG BROWSE OF FILE \SYS1.$DATA.ZNNMDATA.ZLGFILE1
You can issue NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands while you are browsing
through an earlier log file, but the output from those commands is logged to the
current log file.
Browsing Through an Archived Activity Log File
If you have old log files that are not part of the current log set, you can still use the
Activity Log Browse facility to browse them. Issue the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
UDBCTL OPEN command to open the file for access by NonStop NET/MASTER MS:
UDBCTL OPEN= file-spec ID= udb-id INPUT
The following is an example:
UDBCTL OPEN=$DATA8.ZNNMDATA.PRODLOG2 ID=LOGPROD2 INPUT
Then, use the following command to browse through the log:
SWAP LOGPROD2
Your command authority must be high enough to issue a UDBCTL command (the
default is 3).
Note You can use the NonStop NET/MASTER MS SHOW UDB command to display information about the
database files that NonStop NET/MASTER MS uses, including the log files.
Browsing Through a Remote Activity Log File
If another NonStop NET/MASTER MS system is in the same Tandem system, or is
linked to your Tandem system through an Expand or FOX line, you can use the
Activity Log Browse facility to browse the NonStop NET/MASTER MS activity log
files used by the other NonStop NET/MASTER MS system. Issue the following
NonStop NET/MASTER MS UDBCTL OPEN command to open the file for access by
your NonStop NET/MASTER MS system:
UDBCTL OPEN= file-spec ID= udb-id INPUT
The following is an example:
UDBCTL OPEN=\SYS1.$DATA8.ZNNMDATA.PRODLOG2 ID=LOGPROD2 INPUT
