Hi David,

What is this "rotating" of logs you refer to? Is this related to log
retention and pruning?

dsminstr.log is managed in a fashion similar to dsmerror.log with regard to
user permissions and file locking. Is this causing a problem? Or are you
just making an observation?

Yes, please open a PMR. But if you can elaborate on these issues (how we
can try to reproduce them), I can forward them to the appropriate
developer, then hopefully meet in the middle regarding the PMR.

Regards,

Andy
