DELETELOG

Deletes accumulated entries from an application log file (appname/log) or the Essbase Server log file (essbase.log).

Syntax

DELETELOG appName
ParameterDescription

appName

Name of application. If you omit appname, Essbase clears the Essbase Server log file.

Notes

Each application has a log file, which records all user requests and activities in all databases in the application. The log file should be cleared regularly to prevent its becoming too large.

In addition, there is an Essbase Server log file, which records all the commands displayed in the main Essbase Server Agent window.

Example

To clear the log file of an application called SAMPLE:

DELETELOG "SAMPLE";

To clear the Essbase Server log file:

DELETELOG ""
