How to add a log file to an MaxDB?

[Former Member]

I see that we have only one log file there. I want to add more. Please help either the syntax or the GUI menu path. Thanks!

I find the English link as well. But there is no coverage about how to add datafile or log file.

Thanks!

Hi Linda,

of course the topic is covered in the MaxDB documentation (e.g. here http://maxdb.sap.com/documentation/)

[Adding Log Volumes|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/0c/b9bc43f7b24eef9afff1968bf4fcdc/content.htm]

However, you should be really sure that you actually need to add a volume to the log area.

Usually this is not the case.

Most often, people believe they should add a log volume when they should run a log backup.

regards,

Lars
