LOGFILE 

LOGFILE [logfile]

A log file must be opened for all EXTRACT program functions.  You can do
this explicitly, by issuing the LOGFILE command, or implicitly, by
issuing the EXTRACT or AUTO command.  If a log file name is not provided,
the default LOGGLOB.SCOPE.SYS is used.

You can specify the name of either a raw or extracted log file.  You
cannot specify the name of a file created by the EXPORT command.  If you
specify an extracted log file name, all information is obtained from this
single file.  If you specify a raw log file name, you must specify the
name of the global log file before you can access the raw log file.  This
is the only raw log file name you should specify.

It is assumed that the other raw log files are in the same group as the
global log file.  They have the following names:

LOGGLOB      Global log file.

LOGAPPL      Application log file.

LOGPROC      Process log file.

LOGDISC      Disc Space log file.

LOGINDX      Index file (MPE/iX only).

The general contents of the log file are displayed when the log file is
opened.

You can use a file equation to open an extracted file, but you should not
use file equations to access raw log files.

You must create a separate group for each set of raw log files that you
keep on any one HP 3000.  (The group and account do not have to be
SCOPE.SYS.)


Caution Do not rename raw log files! When accessing these files, it is assumed that the standard log file names are in effect. For example, if you must rename log files to place log files from multiple systems on the same HP 3000 for analysis, you should first extract the data, then rename the extracted log files.
The following is an example of raw log files that have been opened in SCOPE.SYS: GLOBAL FILE: LOGGLOB.SCOPE.SYS VERSION B APPLICATION FILE: LOGAPPL.SCOPE.SYS PROCESS FILE: LOGPROC.SCOPE.SYS DISC SPACE FILE: LOGDISC.SCOPE.SYS INDEX FILE: LOGINDX.SCOPE.SYS SYSTEM ID: COOKIE PTC Hewlett-Packard SERIES 967 DATA COLLECTOR: XL B.02.00 DATA COVERS: 129 DAYS FROM 01/03/90 TO 05/11/90 GLOBAL APPLICATION PROCESS DISCSPACE DATA RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE THE FIRST GLOBAL RECORD IS ON 01/03/90 AT 12:40 PM THE FIRST APPLICATION RECORD IS ON 01/03/90 AT 12:40 PM THE FIRST PROCESS RECORD IS ON 01/22/90 AT 10:42 AM THE FIRST DISC SPACE RECORD IS ON 08/11/89 AT 6:16 PM You can verify the log file that you have opened with the SHOW command described later. You can open another log file at any time by entering another LOGFILE command. Any currently open log file is closed before the new log file is opened.
