Event Replicator Administration replay processing provides a list of PLOG data sets for which replay processing can be initiated. This list also displays the date and time of the earliest transaction in each PLOG data set. You can use this list to review information about each PLOG and determine which PLOGs you need to replay. You can also delete PLOG data set entries from this list. This might be useful if the PLOG data set list becomes too long. For example, very old PLOG data sets appearing in the list may no longer be of use to you. In this case, you can use this screen to remove their PLOG entries from the list.
Note:
The list of PLOG data sets may not appear or may contain inaccurate
information, if the RECORDPLOGINFO
initialization parameter is not set to "YES". You
can control this parameter setting from Event Replicator Administration using the Record PLOG
Information field on the global values screen. For more information
about the RECORDPLOGINFO
initialization parameter, read RECORDPLOGINFO Parameter in
Event Replicator for Adabas Reference Guide provided with your Event Replicator Administration
documentation. For more information about the Record PLOG
information field, read Setting
Global Values.

To review the list of PLOG data sets for which replay processing can
be initiated:
Select an Event Replicator Server in tree-view as described in Selecting Event Replicator Databases.
Click on PLOG Information in the tree-view under Replicators.
A table listing the PLOG data sets appears in detail-view.
The following information is displayed on this screen:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Database ID | The ID of the database associated with the PLOG data set. |
| Date | The date of the first transaction in the PLOG data set. |
| PLOG Data Set Name | The name of a PLOG data set for which replay processing can be initiated. |
| Time | The time of the first transaction in the PLOG data set. |
You can review more information about each PLOG data set. This information can help you determine whether you want to replay records from the data set and whether or not you want to remove the PLOG data set entry from the list of PLOG data sets in the Replicator system file.
To review more information about a PLOG data set:
Access the list of PLOG data sets from which replay processing can be requested, as described in Listing the PLOG Data Sets.
Locate the PLOG data set for which you want more information, and click on the date associated with it.
The Replay - PLOG Information table appears in detail-view.
| Screen Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Database ID | The ID of the database associated with the PLOG data set. |
| PLOG Data Set Name | The name of the PLOG data set. |
| Start Date and Time | The date and time of the first transaction in the PLOG data set. |
| End Date and Time | The date and time of the last transaction in the PLOG data set. |
| PLOG Session Number | The number of the PLOG session for this PLOG data set. |
| From Block Number | The starting block number in this PLOG data set. |
| To Block Number | The ending block number in this PLOG data set. |
| Last PLOG in Session | Indicates whether or not the PLOG data set is the last PLOG data set in the session. A value of "Y" in this field indicates that it is the last PLOG data set in the session; a value of "N" indicates that it is not the last PLOG data set in the session. |
You may find it useful to delete PLOG data set entries from the list of PLOG data sets -- especially if the list gets too long and the Replicator system file starts to fill up. For example, very old PLOG data sets appearing in the list may no longer be of use to you. In this case, you can use this screen to remove their entries from the list.
