OUTLINECHANGELOGFILESIZE

This Essbase configuration setting specifies the maximum file size of the outline change log.

Syntax

OUTLINECHANGELOGFILESIZE n

n—Specifies the number of bytes to allocate for the change log. The default is 64,000 bytes. The minimum is 8,092 bytes. The maximum is 2 megabytes.

Description

This setting sets the maximum file size of the outline change log in bytes. When the outline change log reaches the maximum file size, Essbase copies the contents of the file to a separate backup file with the same name as the outline change log file (database_name.olg), but with an . olb extension.

Notes

The outline change log is disabled by default. To enable it, use the OUTLINECHANGELOG parameter.
The outline change log file is located in the database (cube) directory of the Essbase Server installation. It is named in the format cube_name.olg.
The default, minimum, and maximum file sizes for the backup file are the same as the file sizes specified for the outline change log file.
Each time the outline change log file reaches its maximum file size, Essbase clears the outline change log and replaces the backup file with a backup of the current outline change log.
