Log Files
Using Director, you can display the following database (server side) logs. Logs are located in one of the following locations:
• The II_LOG directory, if set either in the environment or the Ingres symbol table
• The II_CONFIG directory, if II_LOG is not set
• The current directory from which iimgmtsvr was started, if neither is set
The default setting for the log directory for either the management server or Director is the current directory, where the executable resides.
For more information about:
• Setting the size of displayed logs, see Set the Size of Support Log Files in the User Guide
• Changing the character set of the Director or management server log files, see
Environment Variables, DIRECTOR_LOG_CHARSET and II_MGMTSVR_LOG_CHARSET.
