Description

FileSizeLimit is the maximum size of the journal file, in megabytes. When a journal file grows to this size it is closed and a new journal file is created. For more information about journal file rollover, see Journal File Names and Rollover.

The FileSizeLimit and jrnbufs parameters have a maximum combined size limit of 4 GB; see Configuring Journal SettingsOpens in a new tab for more information.

Changing This Parameter

On the Journal Settings page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Journal Settings) , in the Start new journal file every (MB) row, enter a number of megabytes.

Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change FileSizeLimit in the Config.JournalOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference), from the ^JOURNAL utility (as described in Update Journal Settings Using ^JRNOPTS), or by editing the CPF in a text editor (as described in Editing the Active CPF).
