diag_pack 
To be able to comprehensively diagnose a database problem, technical support requires a significant number of database log files. Use this command, together with WinRAR and WinZIP, to compress all necessary log files into an archive file.
In the DBM command, you can limit which data is packed. To do this, specify the file class(es) whose files you want to be packed into the archive.
For the hist file class, you can only specify files from a specific directory. To do this, specify the time stamp of the relevant directory.
Prerequisites
You have the server permission DBFileRead.
