When you create MobiLink applications with SQL Anywhere remote databases, there are two types of client log file that you should be aware of:
dbmlsync console log
SQL Anywhere transaction log
By default, dbmlsync messages are sent to the dbmlsync console. In addition, you can send the output to a console log file using the -o or -ot options. The following partial command line sends output to a log file named dbmlsync.log.
dbmlsync -o dbmlsync.log ...
Logging dbmlsync activity is particularly useful during the development process and when troubleshooting. Verbose output is not recommended for normal operation in a production environment because it can slow performance.
You can control the size of log files, and specify what you want done when a file reaches its maximum size:
Use the -o option to specify a log file and append output to it.
Use the -ot option to specify a log file, but delete the contents the file before appending output to it.
In addition to -o or -ot, use the -os option to specify the size at which the log file is renamed and a new file is started with the original name.
For more information, see:
You can control what information is logged to the console log file and displayed in the dbmlsync window using the -v option.
For more information, see -v option.
You can manage log files using the delete_old_logs option.
For more information, see delete_old_logs option [MobiLink client] [SQL Remote] [Replication Agent].
When no console log is specified, all output is displayed in the console. When a console log is specified, less output is sent to the console.
