Upon start-up, SAP ASE, it writes information to a local error log file,
called the SAP ASE error log.
Logging to the SAP ASE error log is always enabled. However, when you create or
modify a specific user-defined message, you can set it to be omitted from
the log.
The error log file,
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/server_name.log:
Stores
information about the success or failure of each start-up attempt
Logs error and informational messages generated
by the server during its operations
Remains open until you stop the server process
Contains start-up messages from SAP ASE
If the error log become too large, you can:
Use sp_errorlog to dynamically change its
path. Once the older error log is not being used by
SAP ASE, you can move it, and make space
available.
Stop the SAP ASE and delete logged messages.
See Diagnosing System Problems in the System Administraton Guide for a
description of the error log format.
