Optional Log Files
Ingres provides various optional log files that can be used for troubleshooting purposes. Optional log files are provided for:
• Logging messages for specific processes
• Generating logs for a specific facility
• Tracing logs and tracking messages at a greater level of detail
Process Logs
Process logs can be set up for the following processes to isolate the error messages relating to that process:
• DBMS
• GCC
Optional Log Facility
Logging can be specified for a specific Ingres facility. The following optional log and trace log files can be established by setting the associated Ingres variables.
DBMS Error Log File
The DBMS Server error log is optionally defined as a separate file. This log file is established by setting the Ingres variable II_DBMS_LOG to a user-defined file name.
Note: By default, all logged messages are sent to the errlog.log file. If you define separate error logs, all messages are sent to both that error log file and errlog.log.
GCC Trace Log File
The GCC trace log is set up for specific troubleshooting efforts. You set II_GCA_LOG to a user file name. The associated Ingres environment variable II_GCC_TRACE defines the level of tracing.
Star Error Log
The Star error log is optionally defined as a separate file. This log file is established by setting the Ingres variable II_STAR_LOG to a user file name.
Note: All Ingres Star errors and messages are sent to errlog.log by default.
For more information about these log files, see the chapter "Setting Environment Variables and Logicals" and the appendix "Environment Variables and Logicals."
