-iqmsgnum iqsrv16 Server Option

Specifies the number of archives of the old message log maintained by the server.

Syntax

-iqmsgnum num

Remarks

Allowed values are integers 0 – 64 (inclusive). Default value is 0, which means that messages are wrapped in the main message log file. Takes effect only if -iqmsgsz or the IQMsgMaxSize server property is a value other than zero. The IQMsgNumFiles server property corresponds to -iqmsgnum and takes precedence over the value of -iqmsgnum.

A -iqmsgnum value n greater than 0 means that the server maintains n message log archives. For example, this command specifies that the server maintain 3 archives of the message log:
start_iq -n iqdemo iqdemo.db ... <other options> ... -iqmsgsz 100 -iqmsgnum 3
