UV (HPUX 11i, UV10.0.16) allows you to supposedly activate / deactivate a distributed file, i.e., the top level conglomerate structure, but I *think* the action is totally superfluous; that is, you must activate / deactivate each partfile independently.
I *think* acting on the type-27 distributed file itself has no meaning whatsoever and is _B_E_N_I_G_N_. Can anyone verify that ? ? ? Stated again with a little more detail : If you have a distributed file, XYZ, composed of partfiles XYZ_1 & XYZ_2 you can tell Universe to activate/deactivate XYZ for logging and (a) the corresponding record for XYZ in UV.TRANS will have Status set "Active"/null, respectively; and (b) the date-time-modified stamp on the little unix file that defines the partfiles to XYZ is also updated. But none of the partfiles or their own corresponding UV.TRANS records are touched. And it does not matter whether an application opens & writes to XYZ or whether it explicitly opens & writes to individual partfiles, XYZ_1, or XYZ_2; logging will occur / not occur depending solely on how XYZ_1 & XYZ_2 are each individually set, not on what the logging subsystem says it knows about the distributed file, XYZ.. Right? Wrong? If right, is this by design or oversight? Just making sure I haven't missed something vital.
