The scripts I've seen scream for help when it gets close to wraparound time. Automating that transition is too much of a PITA, so doing it manually is the way to go.

There is a window of time during which the oldest log files are numbered higher then the newest log files. I don't know if the script has been changed to look at dates instead of file names but we got bit by this once. -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Roger Lacroix [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 5:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Linear Logging Hi, The oldest is the LOWEST numbered log file. I don't know what files you deleted by your comments of 'deleted the remaing two' but if you deleted S0000001.LOG and S0000002.LOG then you are in big trouble. If true, then I don't think this is recoverable. You may need to re-create the queue manager.
