Today I received a link to a very interesting HCL TechNote:

“Log file is full” occurs when running DBMT with many database having thousands of folders

There´s a NOTES.INI settings which can be used to disable Transaction Logging for the reorganization of folders inside a database:

DEBUG_LET_COMPACT_REORG_FOLDERS

By default this setting is “0” which means off but you can enable this setting to get the error messages fixed by setting the following NOTES.INI entry:

DEBUG_LET_COMPACT_REORG_FOLDERS=1
