For more information about using the pdaccount command, see InfoPrint Manager: Reference. How do you manage the InfoPrint Manager accounting logs? Once you specify log-accounting-data=true on either an InfoPrint Manager server or an actual destination, these accounting logs start growing without bound. As part of your scheduled system maintenance, the accounting logs should be managed carefully to avoid potential performance problems. Periodically, the log files must be either deleted or moved to a different folder. If you do not do either of these tasks, your server will run out of space on the disk drive, preventing you from printing any more jobs. The Windows accounting logs are in a subfolder of the server's folder. This describes the subdirectory where the files are located in: install_path\var\pd\accounting.logs InfoPrint Manager for Windows provides one accounting log for each destination, named actual_destination_name .accounting.log.v1, where actual_destination_name specifies the actual destination where the job is processed. To save a record of InfoPrint Manager server accounting data, you need to move the existing log files to a new drive. Be sure that these logs are not being written to, then use this procedure: 1. Create a new directory in the location where you want to archive the existing (prt1.accounting.log.v1 ) log file by moving to that location on your system (from the command line prompt, specify E:, then cd \ntserver). To create the new directory, type: mkdir 3qrt2001logs 2. Go back to your C drive to the folder where the log file is located in. Then access that location, for example prt1.accounting.log.v1 on server1, by specifying: cd install_path\var\pd\accounting.logs 3. Copy the prt1.accounting.log.v1 file to a new directory on a different drive (E for this example) named 3qrt2001 by specifying: copy prt1.accounting.log.v1 E:\ntserver\3qrt2001logs\ This command copies the existing file to the new directory. 4. Remove the original prt1.accounting.log.v1 file from the install_path\var\pd\ accounting.logs folder: del prt1.accounting.log.v1 When the next job is processed on prt1, InfoPrint creates a new prt1.accounting.log.v1 file. We recommend that you move the data to another disk drive rather than deleting it from the system. This lets you store accounting data and delete it from the system when you no longer need to refer to it. To delete the prt1.accounting.log.v1 file, 1. Specify cd install_path\var\pd\accounting.logs This command moves you into the correct path. 2. Enter del prt1.accounting.log.v1 When the MS-DOS command-line prompt returns, you know that the prt1.accounting.log.v1 file has been deleted from the system. Chapter 17.
