Definition

This correlation coefficient is given as a guide to the sizing of a logical log. A value of 100 percent indicates that a single logical log on disk is filling, by average, to full capacity by the time the next checkpoint is issued. At least one checkpoint is required per logical log. Therefore a value of 100 percent implies that the triggering of the next checkpoint is due to the filling of a single logical log file.

This value should never reach 100 percent if the physical log is sized properly. That is, a minimum of one checkpoint is required for each individual logical log file.

The proper sizing guldline is by rule of thumb at best. A complete discussion of this topic can be found in "INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server Administrators Guide Volume 1, Version 6.0" page 18-7.can be found under the "physical log file size" help screen.

The "RESET"/"SINCE RESET" buttons can be used to monitor activity for any predetermined window of time.
