G'day Trevor,

The file remains open while the server is running and accounting is set on.

If you want to rename the file each month, turn accounting off momentarily,
rename the file, switch accounting back on.

Regards,

Subject: ADSM accounting file


Hi,

Our ADSM accounting file is starting to get quite large. I am after some
ideas about how others handle this file. Certainly I have used the
information in this file quite a number of times. So I don't want to
just delete it, for example, on each system restart. But on the other
hand, I don't think that it is necessary to back the whole thing up
every day.

I am thinking about something like renaming it monthly. Any suggestions?
If I were to just rename it while ADSM is running, does it handle it
nicely by just created a new file?


Trevor
