Possible values

Description

With TRANSLOG_UseAll=1, the transaction log is allowed to use the entire available space on the translog volume – regardless of TRANSLOG_MaxSize. This is useful when the translog is given its own dedicated volume reserved exclusively for it (best-practice setup). With 0 (default), the size limit from TRANSLOG_MaxSize (typically 192 MB) or the Server document is used.
In production setups with a dedicated translog volume, 1 is recommended – more log space means longer possible recovery windows and greater safety under peak load.

Example configuration

TRANSLOG_UseAll=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Enable only on a dedicated volume – otherwise there will be conflicts with other data.
  • Takes effect after a server restart.
  • Can be maintained in the Server document under “Transactional Logging” (preferred).
  • Complementary to TRANSLOG_MaxSize, TRANSLOG_Path, TRANSLOG_Style.
