Re: SFS Control Data Backup
No, there isn't a way to specify the threshold. It will start automatically when the log is 80% full. You could probably write some kind of tool to use the output of QUERY FILEPOOL LOG to detect a threshold and send a BACKUP request to the file pool server machine. Sue Farrell

That shows the current agents, their agent numbers and the type of wait they are in. What it does not show is the level of activity that the individual agents are responsible for.

It looks like Audit is a security audit, not an activity monitor. For example, it will tell me how many times I have been allowed access to a file space for which I am not explicitly authorized.

Is there a way to change the threshold for initiation of a CDB dynamically or is it only in the start-up? Searching the File Pool Planning, Administration and Operation manual has so far turned up a blank. Regards, Richard Schuh
