SNAPSHOT_FILENAME

SNAPSHOT_FILENAME <file name>

By default, only the system snapshot is captured with SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL. SNAPSHOT_FILENAME is used to capture user information to SNAPSHOT.FCS as well.

SNAPSHOT_FILENAME <file name>

Files added to the snapshots are said to be activated. Files may be activated whether or not the automatic snapshots are turned on in the configuration file. However, the activation has no effect until snapshots are written to the SYSLOG files.

The <file name> argument may include wildcard matching characters where “*” matches an arbitrary number of any characters and “?” matches exactly one of any character. A pattern of simply “*” matches any user or file name. See FairCom DB Standard Wildcards. For example, the following keywords activate any file ending in “.dat”, and the file journal.idx:

SNAPSHOT_FILENAME *.dat

SNAPSHOT_FILENAME journal.idx

File name case sensitivity depends on the platform. For example, Windows is case insensitive and Unix is case sensitive. The file names activated must match the file name used to first open the file. In particular, paths used in the activation list and during the call to open the file must match.
