Is it possible to use jdbutil or another utility to inspect the contents of a log file ?

We have had a client go down with a rogue process that ballooned out some dat files and brought down the server.
The server recovered after a long rollback.

Once carnage has occurred what tools have I got at my disposal to determine how we arrived at this point?

I assume you're referring to the contents of a Jade transaction journal file, that is a dbnnnnnnnnnn.log file?

If you are, then you can use the 'Dump Journals' command in the Jade Database Utility to dump this into a more friendly format to help investigate what transaction activity was occurring in a given journal.

Refer to the section "Using the Dump Journals Command" in the DbAdmin.pdf for further details.
