How to disable log collection for cyclic job's logs in Control-M Workload Archiving? |
In order to disable log collection for cyclic job's logs, please update the following system parameter disable.cyclic.log.collection located in {EM_HOME}/archive/config/SystemParameters.xml file to 'always' (instead of never): <Parameter> <Name>disable.cyclic.log.collection</Name> <Value>always</Value> <SelectedType>String</SelectedType> <Description>enable the option to disable log collection for cyclic jobs (applied to all rules). values are : if_ended_ok, if_ended_notok, always, never </Description> </Parameter> Recycle the Workload Archiving server from the Control-M Configuration Manager (CCM) and check if the rows in the job_info_working_table table start decreasing after few hours. "job_info_working_table " belongs to Control-M Workload Archiving database schema which contains a list of jobs waiting to have log and output collected. You can access the database scheme and use SQL command to query the table through Workload Archiving utility arc_sql which will start an SQL prompt in the Workload Archiving database from Workload Archiving Server. Note: starting with 9.0.00.18.100, after 4th run the archive delays the collection for 4 hours and performs one collection per 4 hours. In V20 fix-pack 1, the persisted cyclic log contains only the specific rerun section and not all reruns. This should dramatically reduce the amount of DB storage |
