PLI (Periodic Logging Interval)

The PLI (Periodic Logging Interval) command enables logging of usage information for open files at specified time intervals. The time interval is approximate because logging actually takes place when the file is next accessed. Interval logging does not take place for

  • Direct I/O files

  • Files with the DUMMYFILE file attribute set to TRUE

  • Programs running with anonymous file accounting

After a cold-start, the default state of interval logging is disabled.
