Using the Dump Journals Command

Use the Dump Journals command from the Operation menu to initiate a formatted dump of a specified transaction journal file.

The dump contains an analysis of header and control information from audit records in the transaction journal. This formatted dump can be forwarded to JADE Support for diagnostic purposes, if required.

The formatted transaction journal files are named dbnnnnnnnnnn.dump.txt, with the nnnnnnnnnn value being a number in the range 1 through 9999999999, and are output to the directory specified in the JournalRootDirectory parameter in the [PersistentDb] section of your JADE initialization file (for example, d:\jade\logs\current\db0000076894.dump.txt).

To dump transaction journal files

1. Select the Dump Journals command from the Operation menu. The common File dialog (named the Select Journal(s) dialog) is then displayed.

2. Select one or more transaction journal files that you want to dump from the appropriate location.

3. Click the Open button, to start the transaction journal file dump. Alternatively, click the Cancel button, to abandon the operation.

While the operation is running, a progress dialog is displayed that enables you to monitor the progress of the operation. You can abort the run, by clicking the Cancel button.

When the operation is finished, the progress dialog is closed, the running display provides a completion report highlighting the number of errors that were encountered, and the following message is displayed.
