Hi Goran,

There is no setting for 'Days' in the SCHEDLOGRETENTION parameters -
just <N(no prune) or number> and <discard/save> - check the manual.

Hi Richard,

The filename is as it states in the first mail - dsmsched_1yr.log -
unfortunately they've deleted it as they needed to free up space. It was
definitely the schedule log, and besides, wouldn't the setting
ERRORLOGRETENTION manage the dsmerror.log file? (which is also set to 7
days)

I think we'll upgrade to 5.3.x soon so we'll just use the SCHEDLOGMAX
setting along with the SCHEDLOGRETENTION to ensure that these file sizes
to not become unreasonably sized.

Cheers,
Matthew

Matthew -

Get the specifics ... the file name, and latest timestamp (for context).
What they're looking at may be a dsmerror.log file, which can be large
as it accumulates endlessly over time - ignored until it gets huge.
If some other log, its timestamp will provide evidence as to what is
writing to it, in terms of scheduled or invoked events.
