Usage

  • This tool can only be run on enterprise geodatabases in IBM Db2 and IBM Informix.

  • Only the geodatabase administrator can run the Configure Geodatabase Log File Tables tool.

Workspace
log_file_type

Specifies the type of log file tables the geodatabase will use.

  • SESSION_LOG_FILE —Session-based log file tables for selection sets will be used. Session-based log file tables are dedicated to a single session and may contain multiple selection sets.
  • SHARED_LOG_FILE —Shared log file tables for selection sets will be used. Shared log file tables are shared by all sessions that connect as the same user.
String

Code sample

ConfigureGeodatabaseLogFileTables example 1 (Python window)

This script can be run from a Python window to change the log file table configuration to use session-based log file tables created in the geodatabase administrator's schema.In this example, the log file pool is 100 tables.

import arcpy
input_database = "c:\\temp\\ProductionGDB.sde"
log_file_type = "SESSION_LOG_FILE"
log_file_pool_size = 100

arcpy.ConfigureGeodatabaseLogFileTables_management(
    input_database, log_file_type, log_file_pool_size)
ConfigureGeodatabaseLogFileTables example 2 (stand-alone script)

Geodatabases in Db2 and Informix use shared log files by default. If you changed from the default setting and want to change back, you can run the following script: 

# Description: configure geodatabase log file tables

# Set the necessary product code
import arceditor
 
# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

# Local variables:
input_database = "c:\\temp\\ProductionGDB.sde"
log_file_type = "SHARED_LOG_FILE"
log_file_pool_size = 0

# Process: Update log file setting
arcpy.ConfigureGeodatabaseLogFileTables_management(
    input_database, log_file_type, log_file_pool_size)
