Why do I get different file formats on my Transaction logs ??

[l.johnsen]

I have several 507s running ACNS 4.2.1 and 5.0.

And in the LOG .directory the files shows up both as .TXT and .GZ(ZIP) files. At first I thought it was decided by a size threshold, but after checking this is not the case. How can I get all the files to end up as .GZ(ZIP) format ??

'transaction-logs export compress'

Thanks, but the command is there already...

the format is text anyway.

But when you export it, you can create a gz file.

So you will see both the text and gzip file.

There is no way to suppress the text file automatically once the gzip has been created.

What you have to do is a script to clean the text file once a day or so.

This is config lines:

transaction-logs enable

transaction-logs archive interval every-hour at 0

transaction-logs export enable

transaction-logs export compress

transaction-logs export interval every-hour at 10

The strange thing is that sometimes I get a .txt file while I sometimes get a .gz file. I do not have both a txt and a gz file at the same hour...

My question is: How do I get the CCE only to present .GZ files ?

Do you know what I must do to access the box so I can run a script?
