Changing the Log Schedule

By default, old log information is moved to audit files and old audit files are deleted every day between midnight and 2:59 AM. You can change this time.

Logs contain messages issued in the last three days. After three days, the log information for objects other than jobs is moved to audit files in the install_drive:\aiw\aiw1\audit\object_type directory. However, job logs remain in the system as long as the job does. When the job is deleted, the log information is moved to the audit files.

Audit files remain in the system for 28 days and then are automatically deleted.

To change the time when log information is moved to the audit files or deleted:

  1. Open a Windows command prompt and change to the folder where TotalFlow Production Manager is installed.
  2. Enter this command:
    changeAuditTime.pl start_time end_time
    start_time
    Is the earliest hour when log information can be moved or deleted. This value must be an integer between 0 and 23.
    end_time
    Is the beginning of the latest hour when log information can be moved or deleted. Moving and deletion can continue until 59 minutes past this hour. This value must be an integer between 0 and 23.
For example, to move and delete log information between 11:00 PM and 0:59 AM, enter this command:
changeAuditTime.pl 23 0
