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.
