Is it normal for hliprint.log file to be updated every minute?

Shirley,
The HLIPRINT.LOG will register all database transactions made against FOCUS tables (by the FDS Server). If it's updating every minute, that means that the FOCUS tables every minute.
There is a setting in CGIVARS which will control the size of your HLIPRINT.LOG, setting the point (in lines) at which it should be archived and a new one generated.
