Handling log file creation errors
If creation of the DataServer log file fails for any reason, an error is reported and the
DataServer continues to execute. If an error occurs, the DataServer will derive its log file
name as ds_pid.lg where pid is the process id of the
server process. The DataServer continues to write log messages to
ds_pid.lg log file. For example, if you don't have
write privilege on the $DSLOGDIR directory, the
ds_pid.lg file is created in the directory where the
client or broker agent is started. This behavior is optionally available by default by setting
environment variable $UNIQUE_DSLOG at startup.
