Description:
Can you explain please, the difference between pc_server_6991.log and pc_ser_6991, why we need two?

Resolution:
The pc_server_6991.log is the log you would normally look at in diagnosing problems. The pc_ser would be used in running the "pc_server view" and "pc_server check" functions -- which are rarely used.

If you want to save some disk space, you don't need more than the current pc_ser log. You can turn off pc_ser logging entirely by specifying "setenv pc_transactions_log N" in pc_server_defaults.
