DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server
Connecting the DataServer : Connection failures and OpenEdge responses : Accessing the DataServer log : Using the $UNIQUE_DSLOG environment variable : Accessing the log file using the host machine
 
Accessing the log file using the host machine
To obtain access to the DataServer log file using the host machine:
1. Before starting up the broker process, set the DSLOGDIR environment variable to the name of the directory where you want to place the log file.
If you set the environment variable, OpenEdge writes the information to the dataserv.lg file. If OpenEdge cannot open this file or %DSLOGDIR% is unset, it writes the information to the dataserv.lg file in the process' current directory, and appends to it with each subsequent process that uses it.
2. Open the dataserv.lg file to read the DataServer log.
