Setting the Adaptive Server error log path

106
Logging to the Adaptive Server error log is always enabled. However, when
you create or modify a specific user-defined message, you can set it to be
omitted from the log. See "Logging user-defined messages" on page 107.
The installation program sets the error log location in the Sybase installation
directory when you configure a new Adaptive Server. Backup Server and
Monitor Server each have their own error logs.
The default location for each server's error log is:
• Adaptive Server: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/servername.log
• Backup Server: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/servername_back.log
• Monitor Server: $SYBASE/$SYBASE-ASE/install/servername_ms.log
At start-up, you can reset the name and location of the Adaptive Server error
log file from the command line. Use the
command to start Adaptive Server.

Multiple Adaptive Servers cannot share the same error log. If you install
Note
multiple Adaptive Servers, specify a unique error log file name for each server.
You can change the error log path by editing the
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_server_name file.
For example, to change the error log path from
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin/dataserver -d/Devices/ASE_2K.dat -sASE_2K -
i/ASE_150 -e$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/ASE_2K.log -M/ASE_150 to
the $SYBASE directory, type:
$SYBASE/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver -d/Devices/ASE_2K.dat
-sASE_2K -i/ASE_150 -e$SYBASE/ASE_2K.log -M/ASE_150
For information about using the RUN_server_name file, see "Starting and
Stopping Servers" on page 17.
