Managing database activity recording in databases

About this task

By default, the Statlog task reports database activity to all database User Activity dialog boxes when it runs. Even if a user disables User Activity reporting for a specific database, the next time Statlog runs, it enables recording in the dialog box again.

To disable automatic activity recording in User Activity dialog boxes

About this task

To prevent Statlog from automatically recording activity in User Activity dialog boxes, add the following setting to the Notes®.ini file:

No_Force_Activity_Logging=1 

Then, you can enable activity recording per database, as needed. Since recording activity in the User Activity dialog box adds 64K to the size of each database, disabling automatic activity recording saves disk space on the server.

Note: If you use No_Force_Activity_Logging, Statlog still reports activity to the log file (LOG.NSF).
