An enhancement has been requested. Up voting adds weight to enhancement prioritization:
Since OpenEdge 11.7.2 and 12.1, replication logging levels can be set without shutting down replication for both the RPLS and RPLA:
- Enhanced logging can be configured at startup in the respective repl.properties configuration file, with the logging-level parameter instead of the pmmgr.properties file.
- The replication logging level can be changed on the fly when the RPLS / RPLA process is running with:
$ dsrutil dbname -C logginglevel [0,1,2,3]
This Replication logging feature enhancement, was announced in the following OpenEdge Documentation:
