DATABASE MANAGEMENT
By default, Statlog 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 prevent Statlog from automatically recording activity in User Activity dialog boxes, add No_Force_Activity_Logging=1 to the NOTES.INI file. Then, you can enable activity recording per database, as needed. Because 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.
Tip Disable automatic activity recording to improve database performance.
Note If you use No_Force_Activity_Logging, Statlog still reports activity to the log file (LOG.NSF).
Enable activity recording in a single database's User Activity dialog box
Even if the server administrator uses the No_Force_Activity_Logging setting in the NOTES.INI file to disable 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. Click the 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.
Disable activity recording in a single database's User Activity dialog box
Use the above procedure, but deselect Record Activity in Step 4. Disabling activity recording also removes any existing activity statistics in the User Activity dialog box.
