Replication Server error log

The Replication Server error log is a text file where Replication Server writes informational and error messages.

By default, the Replication Server error log file name is repserver.log, and resides in the directory where you started the Replication Server. You can specify the name and location of the error log file by using the -E command line flag when you start the Replication Server or in a Replication Server run file

Each log message begins with a letter to indicate the message type. Table 6-1 lists the possible message types.
