Mask Routine Backup Messages in CTSTATUS.FCS

Normally, a dynamic dump writes the names of all the files it backs up to the FairCom Server status log, CTSTATUS.FCS. The FairCom DB configuration option:

CTSTATUS_MASK DYNAMIC_DUMP_FILES

can be used to suppress the logging of the names of the files backed up by a dynamic dump operation. This option reduces the amount of information logged in CTSTATUS.FCS for easier analysis by an administrator.

Run Time Configuration

The ctSETCFG() function can be used to dynamically turn this option on or off while FairCom DB is running.

Examples

To turn the option on:

ctSETCFG("setcfgCTSTATUS_MASK", "DYNAMIC_DUMP_FILES");

To turn the option off:

ctSETCFG("setcfgCTSTATUS_MASK", "~DYNAMIC_DUMP_FILES");
