Each time it starts, Adaptive Server writes start-up information to a local error log file. The installation program automatically sets the error log location when you configure a new Adaptive Server. See the Configuration Guide for your platform to learn the default location and file name of the error log.
Many error messages from Adaptive Server are written only to the user’s terminal. However, fatal error messages (severity levels 19 and above), kernel error messages, and informational messages from Adaptive Server are recorded in the error log file.
Adaptive Server keeps the error log file open until you stop the server process. Before deleting old messages to reduce the size of the error log, stop the Adaptive Server process.
On some platforms, such as Windows, Adaptive Server
also records error messages in the operating system event log. See
the installation guide and configuration guide for your platform.
