Logging Error Messages and
Events
This chapter describes how to use the error logging features of Adaptive
Server.
Adaptive Server error logging
Each time Adaptive Server starts, it writes information to a local error log
file, called the Adaptive Server error log:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/server_name.log
This file:
•
Stores information about the success or failure of each start-up
attempt.
•
Logs error and informational messages generated by the server during
its operations.
•
Remains open until you stop the server process.
•
Contains startup messages from Adaptive Server
Note
When you want to make more disk space available by reducing the
size of the error log, stop Adaptive Server before deleting logged
messages. The log file cannot release its memory space until Adaptive
Server has stopped.
