II_STAR_LOG points to the location of the log file containing distributed DBMS server-specific error messages. It is set installation-wide. It is read by the server at startup time, so changing it after startup has no effect on an existing server. Most error messages written to this file are also logged to the installation-wide error log (errlog.log). Some server trace messages and statistics information are written to the II_STAR_LOG file that are not written to errlog.log. The default, if not set, is $II_SYSTEM/ingres/files/errlog.log.
