Hi
1. If I do an ARCHIVE operation, should I expect the .LOG-, .EVENTS- and
.TIMES-files to shrink?
If not, is it any problems to delete the above mentioned files (other
that the log-data for the systems are lost)?
2. how would you set up an archiving strategy if:
- you want to have the last 48 hours of logs 'online'
- you want the logs older than 48 hours but younger than
3 weeks archived
- data older than 3 weeks is of no interest, and should be deleted
would this work if run every two days?
CONSOLE ARCHIVE ALL /KEEP=48
CONSOLE ARCHIVE ALL /BEFORE="-21-" /DELETE
Thank you!

Yes, the files should shrink if data was actually archived.
If you decide to deleted the files you must do so with PCM shutdown.

Not quite. The ARCHIVE command only works on the active logfile. It
can't delete the files that are already in the archive. You must have a
command file do the latter piece for you.
REgs,

Thank you!
