APPLICATION MANAGEMENT

Managing database activity recording in databases
By default, the Statlog task reports database activity to all database User Activity dialog boxes when it runs. Even if a user disables User Activity reporting for a specific database, the next time Statlog runs, it enables recording in the dialog box again.

To disable automatic activity recording in User Activity dialog boxes

To prevent Statlog from automatically recording activity in User Activity dialog boxes, add the following setting to the Notes.ini file:

No_Force_Activity_Logging=1

Then, you can enable activity recording per database, as needed. Since recording activity in the User Activity dialog box adds 64K to the size of each database, disabling automatic activity recording saves disk space on the server.

Note If you use No_Force_Activity_Logging, Statlog still reports activity to the log file (LOG.NSF).

To enable activity recording in a single database's User Activity dialog box

Even if the server administrator disables automatic activity recording in databases, you can enable recording for a single database.

1. Make sure that you have Designer or Manager access in the database ACL.

2. Open the database and choose File - Application - Properties.

3. Select the Info(i) tab, and then click "User Detail."

4. Select "Record Activity" to enable activity recording.

5. (Optional) Select "Activity is Confidential" to allow only users with at least Designer access in the database ACL to view the activity.

6. Click OK.

To disable activity recording in a single database's User Activity dialog box

2. Open the database and choose File - Application - Properties.

3. Select the Info tab (i), and then click User Detail.

4. Deselect "Record Activity" to disable activity recording.

5. Click OK.
