Specifies a file name to log startup errors, fatal errors, and assertions.
iqsrv16 -oe filename ...
All operating systems and database servers.
Each line in the output log file is prefixed with the date and time. Startup errors include such errors as:
Couldn't open/read database file: database file.
A database server with that name has already started.
Fatal errors and assertions are logged to the Windows Application Event Log or the Unix system log regardless of whether -oe is specified.
It is recommended that you do not end the file name with .log because this can create problems for utilities that perform operations using the transaction log.
