Truncates the database server message log file and appends output messages to it.

Syntax

{ dbsrv11 | dbeng11 } -ot logfile ...

Applies to

All operating systems and database servers.

Remarks

The functionality is the same as the -o option except the database server message log file is truncated before any messages are written to it. You can obtain the name of the database server message log file using the following command:

SELECT PROPERTY ( 'ConsoleLogFile' );

It is recommended that you do not end the database server message log file name with .log because this can create problems for utilities that perform operations using the transaction log.
