in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. When executed from the
command line, Quick Assist directs all logging details to the OPERATOR.LOG file in the
\CVR1 directory.
Using the Log File Utility
To ensure proper Octel 50 maintenance, a log file utility is called in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file to automatically compress and archive the Octel 50 system’s OPERATOR.LOG file.
When the OPERATOR.LOG file has grown beyond a specified size (default is 1
megabyte), the log utility compresses the log and renames it to \CVR1\OPERATOR.1.
LOGUTIL.EXE automatically runs each time the Octel 50 system is rebooted.
The system renames the existing \CVR1\OPERATOR.1 to \CVR1\OPERATOR.2,
renames the \CVR1\OPERATOR.2 to \CVR1\OPERATOR.3, and so on up to
\CVR1\OPERATOR.5. The existing OPERATOR.5 file is deleted.
You can add the following parameters to the log file utility command line in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
Parameter
Description
S
n
Where
n
is the number of megabytes to which the log file may
grow before being compressed and archived. Default = 1
D
Instructs Octel 50 to delete OPERATOR.LOG instead of
compressing and archiving the log.
U
n
Where
n
is the extension of the archived compressed log file
to uncompress. Valid range = 1 to 5
F
n
Where
n
is the filename given to the uncompressed archive
log file. Default = ARCHIVE.TXT
A
Instructs the log file utility to automatically compress and
archive the AUDIT.LOG file, which logs AMIS related activity.
Understanding the Automatic Data Recovery Utility
The Automatic Data Recovery utility helps prevent the loss of messages and other Octel
50 system data that could result from an unprotected loss of power that causes an
abnormal system shutdown.
You must enable the Shutdown System after Daily Maintenance parameter on the
General Parameters tab in System Setup to use this utility.
The Automatic Data Recovery utility performs the following functions:
•
During the system shutdown after daily maintenance, a backup of the contents of
the \CVR1 directory is created in the \CVR1\BACKUP directory.
•
If a power failure (or other abnormal system shutdown is detected), the utility
backs up the existing \CVR1 directory, which may have become corrupt, and
stores it in the \CVR1\OLD_DB directory.
•
Once the existing \CVR1 is backed up, the contents of the \CVR1\BACKUP
directory replaces the files in the \CVR1 directory.
