Managing the License Server Debug Log

By default, all license server status and error messages are written to the debug log file SYBASE.log in the log directory.

SYBASE.log is used to diagnose issues with the license server. For information on messages written to this log file, see The Debug Log File in the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide.

Over time, the debug log file can become large and the value of older messages decreases. Sybase recommends that you periodically truncate the debug log file.

  1. On the license server machine, enter:
    lmutil lmswitch -c license_directory_location SYBASE tmp.log
  2. Delete or archive SYBASE.log.
  3. To return to using SYBASE.log, enter:
    lmutil lmswitch -c license_directory_location SYBASE SYBASE.log
  4. Delete the temporary file tmp.log.
