SWITCH

SWITCH is a Data Collector command that you can issue only from the system operator console.

SWITCH generates an archive from the currently active log file for the specified output group(s). Writing continues in the log file, and any subsequent archive requests for that archive will copy records from the point at which SWITCH was issued.

Important

If archiving is not enabled for the logset, the command has no effect.
