To begin a new error log file, use the admin set_log_name command. This command closes the current log file and opens a new one. Subsequent messages are written in the new log file.
Following is an example of the admin set_log_name command for UNIX:
admin set_log_name, '/work/sybase/SYDNEY_RS/951101.log'
The previous log remains active if Replication Server fails to create and open the new log file.
