The log and trace files are ASCII text files. Each contains start-up data and configuration information in the header section at the beginning of the file.
The log file has a fixed size, which you can configure. If the LogWrap configuration property value is set to yes, the log file wraps when it reaches its configured maximum file size, writing over earlier records with new records. For more information, see Chapter 4, “Configuring the Server”.
The trace file does not have a size limit. If tracing is enabled, the file grows to consume all available disk space. Because limiting the file size can cause a potential loss of data that Sybase Technical Support may need for problem-solving, you cannot specify a maximum trace file size.
Log and trace records are recorded in chronological order. If multiple workstations use DirectConnect servers, the log or trace records for a particular user do not appear consecutively.
The logical end of the log file is indicated by an <END> marker.
