NetBase for MPE Reference Guide

To instruct NetBase to close the current log file and open the next:
∗> STATS SWITCH
Since NetBase requires exclusive access to statistic log files, this command is used when the current
log file needs to be freed up to produce statistics reports. Note that STATS STOP will not close the
current log file since processes currently collecting statistics will be posting statistics as the data
becomes available.
If NetBase is unable to open the statistics log file, the statistics process will complain to the console
and then suspend itself. To reactivate statistics, correct the cause of the problem (i.e. free up or
purge the file that NetBase is trying to access) and use the following command:
∗> STATS RESUME
To disable statistics gathering for files only:
∗> STATS STOP=FILES
If IMAGE statistics are enabled, they will not be affected by this command.
