Manage the Profiles event log 

Use Profiles administrative commands to manage the Profiles event log.

Before starting

To run administrative commands, use the wsadmin client. See Starting the wsadmin client for information about how to start the wsadmin command-line tool.

About this task

The Profiles EVENTLOG table logs records relating to Profiles user events. For example, every time a user removes a board post or adds a tag to their profile, an entry is logged in the table. From time to time, you might want to purge older records from the table to control the size of the data. Otherwise, the entries can grow rapidly and impact performance in areas such as seedlist indexing.

By default, records that are more than 30 days old are automatically purged from the event log. For information about how to modify the setting that controls this interval, see Configure event log clean-up for Profiles.

Procedure

To manage entries in the event log table for Profiles...

1. From the dmgr host:
