Set Error Log Paths

The installation program sets the error log location in the Sybase installation directory when you configure a new Adaptive Server. Backup Server has its own error log.

The default location for each server’s error log is:

Adaptive Server: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/servername.log
Backup Server: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/servername_back.log

At start-up, you can reset the name and location of the Adaptive Server error log file from the command line. Use the -e start-up parameter and value in the dataserver command to start Adaptive Server.

Note: Multiple Adaptive Servers cannot share the same error log. If you install multiple Adaptive Servers, specify a unique error log file name for each server.
