Scope

SQLUtil Syntax

>> MOVELOG DBEnvironment Name: DBEnvironmentName Current Log File Name: CurrentFileName New Log File Name: NewFileName

Parameters

DBEnvironmentName: is the name of the DBEnvironment associated with the file you are changing. The DBEnvironment name may be entered either as an absolute pathname or as a pathname relative to your current working directory.
CurrentFileName: is the current pathname of the log file to be moved. This may be either an absolute pathname or a pathname relative to that of the DBECon file of the DBEnvironment name you have entered.
NewFileName: is the new pathname for the log file. This may be either an absolute pathname or a pathname relative to that of the DBECon file.

Description

The MOVELOG command prompts for the current pathname and the new pathname of the file, and then changes the file to the new pathname. This lets you either rename a log file or change directories in order to place the log file on a different device. Your hpdb must be able to write to the new directory. This is accomplished by having the file permissions of the directory where the DBEnvironment resides set to mode 755, having the directory owned by hpdb, and having a group id of bin.
The DBEnvironment may not be in use while this command is executed.

Authorization

You must be the DBECreator or superuser to use this command.
