2.189 set_log_file
The set_log_file command manages a file that SNAplus2 uses to record log messages. It enables you to do the following:
•Specify a file used to record log messages (audit, error, or usage logs), and the backup file (to which log information is copied).
•Specify the maximum log file size (when the log file reaches this size, SNAplus2 copies log information to the backup file and resets the log file).
•Copy the current contents of the log file to the backup file, and optionally delete the current file.
You can record audit log and error log messages in separate files, or record both types of messages in the same file.
