Log Database Display Screen
The Log Database Display screen appears when you select Databases from the Log Info Menu screen.
This screen can be used to monitor logging activity by database.
The screen contains an entry for each active database. Information includes the number of transaction begins and ends, and the number of log file write requests. The status of a database can also be determined. For a list of valid status values, see
Logging System Header Screen—Status Field Values.
The Log Database Display shows the following information:
DB Name
The database name.
Status

CKPDB_PEND
Online backup for this database is about to start.

This database is about to be closed; the last user in the database is exiting.

This database is running with Fast Commit.
FBACKUP

This database has journaling enabled.

The entry is not a database.
OPENDB_PEND
This database is about to be opened for the first user of the database.

The number of transaction begins that have occurred so far.
