Adaptive Server begins to write information to a local error log file, called the Adaptive Server error log each time Adaptive Server starts: %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\install\errorlog
This error log file:
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.
Retains its contents until you rename, move, or empty the file.
If the error log become too large, you can:
Dynamically change the path of the error log using sp_errorlog. Once the older errorlog is not being user by Adaptive Server, you can move it, and make space available.
Stop the Adaptive Server and delete logged messages.
See “Diagnosing System Problems,” in the System Administraton Guide, Volume 1 for a description of the error log format.
