IZ57963: SNA.USAGE LOG GROWS BEYOND CONFIGURED SIZE LIMIT

Communications Server for AIX, Version 6.4 -- Latest PTFs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Comunications Server for AIX, Version 6.3
  -----------------------------------------
  The sna.usage log grows beyond the configured size limit.
  The sna.aud and sna.err defaults to 1M vs expected 10M.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The sna.usage file grows larger than apparently configured. In
  fact the default configuration is for a 10 mb file (that takes
  3.5 years to wrap), but the snaadmin query_log_file, log_file_
  type-USAGE command reports only 1 mb in error.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix corrects the query to display the correct value of the
  usage log file which is 10 mb by default.
  A previous change to alter the default from 1mb to 10mb was
  incomplete. Audit and Exception/error logs default to 1mb still.
  This fix corrects the audit and exception log sizes to 10mb and
  corrects the queries to report the actual wrap size.
  If a set_log_file or set_trace_file is present in the
  configuration the sizes already work correctly and queries
  already report the correct sizes.
  

Temporary fix

• sna_v5router64
