The RMU Monitor Reopen_Log command closes the current Oracle Rdb monitor log file, compresses it, and opens another log file without stopping the monitor. The new log has the same name as, but a new version number of, the monitor log file you opened with the RMU Monitor Start command. Use the RMU Show Users command to determine the current name and location of the monitor log file before issuing the RMU Monitor Reopen_Log command. You should use the RMU Monitor Reopen_Log command if the monitor log file gets too large. For example, if you are running out of space on your disk or if database performance slows, you might want to open another log file. If the disk that contains the Oracle Rdb monitor log file becomes full, you must acquire space on the disk. Once there is sufficient space on this disk, use the RMU Monitor Reopen_Log command and consider backing up (using the DCL COPY command or the OpenVMS Backup utility) the old monitor log file. When the disk that contains the monitor log becomes full, Oracle Rdb stops writing to the log file, but the Oracle Rdb system does not stop operating. A message is sent to the cluster system operator when this occurs.
