The life cycle of a file in a file system is recorded in the FCL file from creation to deletion. The following is a typical sequence of FCL records written to the log for creating an FCL file:
VX_FCL_FILEOPEN (if tracking file opens is enabled)
When writing a file, one of the following FCL records is written to the log for every write operation. The record depends on whether the write is past the current end of the file or within the file.
The following shows a typical sequence of FCL records written to the log, when file "a" is renamed to "b" and both files are in the file system:VX FCL_UNLINK
(for file "b" if it already exists)
VX_FCL_RENAME
(for rename from "a" to "b")
