Hey Everyone,

I've got the following:

ARS 7.0.01 P05 on AIX 5.0 with and Oracle 10g Database
Mid-Tier on a separate AIX 5.0 machine
ITSM suite 7.0.01 P05
EIE 2.0
Remedy Link for SQL Server

We recently moved 3 EIE data exchanges into our production environment.  All 
three write Remedy data to an external MSSQL server.  The Remedy Link for SQL 
is located on a separate Windows box that is connected to, but otherwise 
unrelated to, the Remedy server and the MSSQL server.  There are three 
instances set up on that server for future expansion (we're only using one for 
now).  Our data exchanges are ALL event driven (to this point in time) and none 
are scheduled.

We have been keeping a running ARUSER.LOG file going for about the last 3 
months for license tuning purposes.  We've capped the log files at 10MB and run 
an escalation every Saturday morning to make a copy of the log file so that 
we'll have a week's worth in every backup.

When I looked at the current log and the backup from last Saturday, I'm seeing 
TONS of logins and logouts by the User that we have set up to authenticate our 
Data Exchanges.   Approximately 6 per minute.  Since every login/logout write 
four lines to the log, it's filling up the logs after about 28 hours.

We asked our support vendor if this login/logout behavior was normal and 
expected and they assure us that it is.

Has anyone else running EIE experienced such a hit on your user log?

If this IS normal and expected, is there some way to EXCLUDE that particular 
user ID from being logged?

I suppose I could set the size limit on the LOG files up to 70-100MB, but that 
seems wasteful.  I could also change the escalation to make a nightly backup, 
but that's going to be a lot of trouble to concatenate (I guess I could do that 
in the escalation as well)...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Gp
