Sybase 15 manual Using SySAM utilities, Managing and collecting logs

APPENDIX A SySAM Administration

Managing and collecting logs

SAMreport must access report logs on the SySAM license server on which you want the report. If you are using an unserved license, the report log files must be on the local machine. If you are using a network license server, the report log files must be accessible via a network-mounted server. SAMreport does not manage this task; you must manually copy the reports to the appropriate local or network machine and map a drive to the network server if necessary.

Note For information on how to manage report logs, including scripts to automate collection of such logs, see Appendix A of the SAMreport User’s Guide. To access this guide, go to the Sybase Product Manuals Web site at Product Manuals at http://www.sybase.com/support/manuals/.
