We are using BlockIP2. The exit runs fine and logs data properly. The only problem i have is setting the max number of Logs. It continously creates logs.
The only parm i see to use is LOGCYCLE and this is supposed to have a default of Y. I presume this means max of 30 logs which are recycled?.
I've put this value in, and removed it completely with no success.
If anyone here has a successful setup where the Logs are recycled/prunned once the max number is hit, RSVP with your settings.
my log settings
LogPath=...;
LogFileName=..;
LogExt=log;
LogFormat=NCD;
LogDrive=Z;
LogCount=30;
LOGCYCLE=Y; |

Version, Platform?
I vaguely remember that log cycling only works on Unix.

Windows server
MQ v7.
re: Unix only, didn't see that mentioned anywhere in the document.
I am sceptical of this parm anyway as it is hardly documented with a working sample, and the format (Full upcase) does not follow the rest of the parms (camelcase). |

It works fine on Unix (I remember discussing this aspect with the author because it doesn't roll logs on i-Series). Here's one that I sometimes use
| Code: |
LogPath=/var/mqm/exits64;
LogFormat=N;
LogCount=16;
LogSize=600;
BlockMqmUsers=Y;
AllowBlankUserID=N;
LogFileName=ALL_BLK-; |

I have issue with log file on AIX and I may have missed some of the settings in the manual which I will dig out again when time permits. (everything else works ok on it)
MY settings are
QMGR=*;
LogDrive=/var/mqm/exits/;
LogFormat=N;
LogCount=8;
BlockMqmUsers=Y;
AllowBlankUserID=N;
LogFileName=ERRORBLOCK;
the error it gives is >
2013-12-04|12:10:12|Channel closed [XXXXXXXX] Connection Name [x.x.x.x]
2013-12-04|12:10:12|BlockIP2 failed to open the specified logfile [/var/mqm/exits/ERRORBLOCK_/exits/_username.log], used default. Reason: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. |

Trying using my values, since they are proven to work. Then change one thing at a time.
I can see differences, e.g. LogPath vs LogDrive and the trailing slash.
