Introduction of circular logging for DP StoreOnce Software (SOS) debug trace files.
Circular debugging became available for StoreOnce Software (SOS) with DP version 9.05 onwards.
Circular debugging became available for SOS with DP 8.14 onwards (it may be from 8.14 bundle with latest 8.14 patches on top.).
To use it set an omnirc variable… “OB2_STOREONCESOFTWARE_LOGLIMIT” Default: 0
When the OB2_STOREONCESOFTWARE_LOGLIMIT parameter is set, log files will be limited to approximately 2 GB.
This is true for both “OB2DBG*StoreOnceSoftware*” and “OB2DBG*StoreOnceSoftwareCore*” debug trace files.
When the 2 GB size limit is reached, a new file will be started while a backup is made of the existing file (OB2DBG*debug.1).
Other files that may already exist will have their number (at the end) incremented. So the file with the lowest number is the newest file.
The maximum number of files being created is controlled by the environment parameter.
Eg. If you set OB2_STOREONCESOFTWARE_LOGLIMIT=5 you will get
5 x 2GB “OB2DBG*StoreOnceSoftware*” files + the current active “OB2DBG*StoreOnceSoftware*” file.
and
5 x 2GB “OB2DBG*StoreOnceSoftwareCore*” files + the current active “OB2DBG*StoreOnceSoftwareCore*” file.
The oldest file will be deleted when the limit is reached, and a new file is required.
Note: Compression of the SOS debug trace file is not available.
