sysadmin dump

Specifies an alternative log file name for use when dumping a Replication Server stable queue.

Syntax

sysadmin dump_file [, file_name]

file_name – The name of the new log file that stable queue dumps are to be written to.

Example 1 – Specifies pubs2.log as the file for logging stable queue output:
```
sysadmin dump_file, 'pubs2.log'
```

Use sysadmin dump_file to specify a log file name before you use sysadmin dump_queue to dump the log to a file.
To reset the current dump file to the default, execute sysadmin dump_file without specifying a file name.
If a file name is specified, the current dump file is closed and a new file is opened. The new file uses the specified file name.
The default dump file is the Replication Server log. Use admin log_name to display the path to this file.
If you enter a log file name containing characters other than letters and numerals, enclose it in quotes.

sysadmin dump_file requires “sa” permission.
