Modifies the location of log files corresponding to a HFSQL data file (*JNL files as well as JournalOperation and JournalIdentification files if they exist).
Reminder: The JournalOperation and JournalIdentification files are created:
- if the management of replication is requested for the data file.
- if the management of the selected log corresponds to "Write-to-file log and history of accesses".
The *JNL file is not created if only the log of access history is requested.
By default, the physical files corresponding to the logs are created:
- in the directory specified under the analysis ( "Description of the analysis" option, "Logging" tab).
- in the specified directory when describing the data file ("Description of data file" from the popup menu, "Various" tab). This option is available only if the analysis directory corresponds to "<Default directory of files>".
Remark: From version 19, HFSQL is the new name of HyperFileSQL. Syntax
<Result> = HChangeLogDir(<Data file> , <Location of the JNL file> [, <Location of the LogOperation file> [, <Backup location>]])
<Result>: Boolean
- True if the operation was performed,
- False if a problem occurred. HErrorInfo is used to identify the error.
<Data file>: Character string (with quotes)
Name of the data file whose log is to be moved. This name is the logical name of the file (defined in the analysis editor).
If this parameter is equal to "*", all the data files found in the current analysis will have their log file moved.
<Location of the JNL file>: Character string (with quotes)
New access path to JNL file associated with the logged file (full or relative path).
If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), the current file location is not modified.
<Location of the LogOperation file>: Optional character string (with quotes)
New access path to JournalOperation file and to JournalIdentification file associated with the logged file (full or relative path). The JournalOperation file contains all the operations performed on the logged file.
If this parameter is not specified or if it corresponds to an empty string (""), the current file location is not modified.
<Backup location>: Optional character string (with quotes)
Path of backups of log files. By default, this path corresponds to: <directory of JNL files>\__JNLBackupThis path is used during the automatic modification of data files to archive the logs. The
HHistoryModification function will also search for the history of changes in these files.
If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), the current location is not modified.
If this parameter corresponds to a relative path (and starts with a dot), the path will be relative to data files.
