Backing Up Log Entries

To back up log entries, your communication package must support the

Kermit protocol.This log back-up procedure allows you to copy all

maintenance log entries into a text file on either a directory on your PC’s

hard disk, or on a diskette in the PC’s disk drive.

To back up log entries:

1. Select the following commands:

SYSTEM

DATABASE

LOGS_BACKUP

ENTER

The system prompts you for the file name.

2. Enter the file name.

3. Press ENTER.

The system then prompts you to exit to a local Kermit session.

4. In the Kermit session, issue the Receive command.

While the backup is in progress, the top seven-segment LED on the

MCC shows “A”, and the lower seven-segment LED shows a dash

that is circling in a clockwise direction.

Ensure that the file name is meaningful to you. It can include

abbreviations for the name of a remote site, the purpose or

function of the database, the version of the software, or the

number of the database.

Ensure that the Kermit session is set to text mode, because the

maintenance log entries must copy into a text file.
