What's the reason for using a variable, @MY_COMO, instead of the actual path ?

First you create an environment variable for the como file (e.g. MY_COMO) that points to the directory under which you've created a _PH_ directory and a D__PH_ dictionary file. Then you create a VOC item as follows: _PH_ 001 DIR 002 @MY_COMO\_PH_ 003 @MY_COMP\D__PH_ ...to include in every account's VOC file. This will now act as a centralized "como" repository. I do this with the _HOLD_ directory, as everyone on our machines share the same spooler file, and each spooler file name is a unique ".txt" file. I'm sure it would be even easier on a "nix" machine. :-) Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- *From:* peter.che...@firstmac.com.au *To:* U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> *Date:* 1/23/2013 6:31 PM *Subject:* Re: [U2] Universal COMO > Hi Will, > > I think the biggest *con* you might come up against will be concurrency > issues with multiple processes writing to the one central location. > If you had a solution where each session log is unique amongst all processes then that would work very well. > > You will still need to clean it out though whether it be one big centralised dir or one for each account. As others have indicated, and if you run a unix box, then an overnight cron job to find and clean out any &COMO& dirs older than a set number of days would an option for you. I would suggest that you identify any logs that were important historically to you and roll them first. Probably zipping them up and moving them to an archive area would be viable. Google may even cough up a log rotate script that you could adapt. > > Regards, > Peter > > -----Original Message----- > From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org > [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson > Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2013 4:28 > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] Universal COMO > > By default, Universe will create several files in each account you create.
