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 Servers have their own error logs.

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

Adaptive Server: %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\installation directory
Backup Server: %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\installation directory

At start-up, you can reset the name and location of the Adaptive Server error log file from the command line by using the -e start-up parameter.

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.

Setting the Adaptive Server Error Log Path
Use the Server Config utility to change the Adaptive Server error log path.
Setting the Backup Server Error Log Path
Use the Server Config utility to change the Backup Server error log path.
