HI All,
One of the lof files has reached a size of 2GB.. I am unable to clear it by the clear job log option in director.. The operation hangs and gives some error..
Can anyone tell me how to clear this log file? Is it safe to delete its content from Unix???
Regards

The Director client might go in Waist state till it gets deleted. Else you can use CLEAR.FILE with directly the filename, as mentioned. But this will again remove the Auto purge option to not work.
Or create a Copyof current job and delete the old job, and rename the Copy of job to the old job name.

Impossible doesn't mean 'it is not possible' actually means... 'NOBODY HAS DONE IT SO FAR'
Re: How to clear RT_LOG****
Using "CLEAR.FILE RT_LOGnnn" is not necessarily a good solution; since this will also remove the normal purge settings. Best is to set the purge settings to your desired value so that the log files don't grow to untenable sizes.
What error are you getting?nishant_prakash wrote:...I am unable to clear it by the clear job log option in director.. The operation hangs and gives some error...

The "Clear" utility in Director is a DELETE transaction which does not delete the control records, followed by some UPDATE transactions that correct values in those control records. Director must wait until those transactions are completed.
