Deleting the Log Files
SBCON allows you to overwrite sessions and reuse storage media.
When you delete the log file for a session using the following procedure, you
automatically delete the corresponding error file as well.
To prevent outdated session information from taking up disk space and to help
prevent confusion when you select sessions to view or restore, delete the
session log files for any session that has been overwritten.
Ensure that you have met the prerequisites detailed in “Prerequisites for
SBCON Tasks” on page 81.
NOTE: You cannot delete log and error files at the workstation.
To delete the log and error files from the server, do the following.
1 From the SBCON Main Menu, select Log File Administration > View a
Log File.
2 If you have not set the location of log and error files, do so now using one
or more of the following methods:
 Press Enter to accept the default location, and then go to Step 3 on
page 97.
 Press Insert to select from a list of directories, select a directory, press
Esc to return to the previous window, and then go to Step 3 on page
97.
 Press Backspace over the path shown (or a portion of the path), type
a new directory or path, and then go to Step 3 on page 97.
You can also press Insert during this process to select existing parts of the
path from a list.
3 Select the description of the session that you have overwritten (or plan to
overwrite) and press Delete.
A confirmation prompt is displayed.
4 To delete the log and error file for that session, click Yes.
5 Press Esc when finished to return to the Main Menu.
