log_directory

The directory for Replication Agent system log files.

Default

The path to the log directory created when the Replication Agent instance was created. For example:
  • On Microsoft Windows platforms:
    %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\inst_name\log
    where:

    • %SYBASE% is the path to the Replication Agent installation directory.

    • inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance.

  • On UNIX platforms:
    $SYBASE/RAX-15_5/inst_name/log
    where:

    • $SYBASE is the path to the Replication Agent installation directory.

    • inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance.

Value

A valid path on the Replication Agent host machine.

Comments

  • When a Replication Agent instance is created, the log directory is created as part of the instance directories. The default value of the log_directory parameter points to that directory.

  • If you specify any valid path as the value of the log_directory parameter, the Replication Agent instance places its system log files in the directory you specify the next time it is started.

  • If you specify the default value of the log_directory parameter by using the default keyword in the ra_config command, then the next time it is started, Replication Agent will place its system log files in the log directory that was created when the Replication Agent instance was created.

  • If you change the value of the log_directory parameter with the ra_config command, the new value is recorded in the configuration file immediately, however, you must shut down and restart the Replication Agent instance to make the new value take effect.
