Log Bytes report
The Log Bytes report supplies information about the distribution of log records in the Db2 log. The Log Bytes report focuses on the type, size and distribution of log records, and not on the actual data contained in the log records.
Filters that you specify in the log scan are not used for selecting records that Log Master reports in a Log Bytes report.
Use the Log Bytes report for tuning purposes, to help you reduce unnecessary overhead in the log. The Log Bytes report displays the following information about log records:
Counts of log record types
Total number of bytes used by the log records
Percentage of space the log records use
To request a Log Bytes report
- From any task dialog (any option from 0 through 7 under the Actions category on the Main Menu), select the Define Report and File Outputs option.
- On the Output Options panel, select Log Bytes.
When you generate a Log Bytes report, Log Master cannot include any other forms of output in the same log scan, such as other reports or SQL. To generate other forms of output for the same work ID add an additional separate log scan step.
