Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/NEW_VERSION
Creates a new version of a log file if a log file with an identical specification already exists. The new log file is created with the same name and type and a version number one higher than the highest existing version. Note that once the new version of the transaction log file is created, then any transaction records in the previous log cannot be accessed.
/OWNER
/OWNER=owner_id
Associates an owner or user identification code (UIC) with the
log file to be created. Specify the UIC using the standard UIC
format as described in the VMS DCL Concepts Manual. The default
UIC will be one of the following: (1) the owner UIC of an existing
version of the file if the file creator has extended privileges;
or (2) the owner UIC of the parent directory if the file creator
has extended privileges; or (3) the owner UIC of the creator.
/SIZE
/SIZE=file_size
Specifies the size of the log file in blocks. The minimum log file
size is 100 blocks, and the default log file size is 4000 blocks.
Example
LMCP> CREATE LOGFILE SYSTEM$BLUE/OWNER=GONZALES/SIZE=4400 This command creates a log file called SYSTEM$BLUE.LM$JOURNAL, associates it with the user name GONZALES, and specifies a file size of 4400 blocks.
