Good morning everyone: can someone, please, tell me how the ADABAS PLOG closes.  
Thanks a lot.

To switch to the other / next PLOG use the command `FEOFPL`

Thanks for your answer. Now I have a question … will the file be filled if nobody closes plog? Someone or something is running the plog rotation?.  
TIA.

Yes, when the active PLOG runs full it will be switched automatically.

The switch will trigger UEX2 (dual PLOG) or UEX12 (multiple PLOGs) to submit a PLOGCOPY job,  
because when the inactive PLOG doesn’t get saved in time before the next PLOG switch occurs … you’re in deep trouble 😉
