| MSGBUF | the size of the message buffer area. | 0 | 128 | 0 |
MSGBUF specifies the size (in kilobytes) of the area used to buffer messages for use for performance and tuning and problem analysis. Adabas messages buffered in this area can be reviewed even when online access to the console or DDPRINT messages is unavailable. While the buffer is intended for messages written to the system log or DDPRINT, it can be used for any purpose by any caller.
MSGBUF presupposes that ADARUN SMGT=YES.
MSGBUF=0 (the default) means that message buffering is not active for the session.
To activate message buffering, set MSGBUF to a value greater than 0. Software AG recommends setting MSGBUF to 10 (kilobytes).
Message buffering can be temporarily disabled and subsequently reactivated using the SMGT operator command.
See the Adabas DBA Tasks documentation for more information about message buffering.
Activate message buffering when the Adabas nucleus is initialized with a message buffer size of 10 KB.
