Controlling Which Resources Are Tracked  



You can control which resources the system tracks. To save disk space, you can stop the system tracking resources you are not interested in.

How to Perform This Task

  1. Use the SET ACCOUNTING command with the /ENABLE and /DISABLE qualifiers in the following format to control which resources are tracked: SET ACCOUNTING/DISABLE[=(keyword[,...])]/ENABLE[=(keyword[,...])] The keywords are the same as those explained in Determining Which Resources Are Being Tracked.

  2. To make this change permanent, edit the SET ACCOUNTING command in the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTART_VMS.COM startup file.

Example

This example prevents the tracking of all resources except those used by interactive and batch processes: 

$ SET ACCOUNTING/DISABLE/ENABLE=(PROCESS,INTERACTIVE,BATCH)
The /DISABLE qualifier is not followed by a keyword. Therefore, the qualifier disables the tracking of all resources. The /ENABLE qualifier then enables the tracking of the resources used by interactive and batch processes.
