Transactional Logging
Choose Enabled. The default is Disabled.
Log path Path name location of the transaction log.
The default path name is \LOGDIR in the Domino
data directory, although it is strongly recommended
to store the log on a separate, mirrored dev ice, such
as a RAID (Redundant Array of Independen t Disks)
level 0 or 1 device with a dedicated controller.
The separate device should have at lea st 1GB of disk
space for the transaction log. If you are using the
device solely for storing the transaction log, set the
"Use all available space on log device" f ield to Yes.
Maximum log space The maximum size, in MB, for the transaction log.
Default is 192MB. Maximum is 4096MB (4GB).
Domino formats at least 3 and up to 64 log files,
depending on the maximum log space y ou allocate.
Use all available space
on log device
Choose one:
Yes to use all available space on the devi ce for
the transaction log. This is recommended if you
use a separate device dedicated to st oring the
log. If you choose Yes, you don’t need to ente r a
value in the "Maximum log space" field.
