The database log (.lg) captures information that helps you understand the circumstances surrounding a failure. The log now records startup parameters for secondary brokers.

Although you can list broker parameters for running servers by using PROMON R&D Status or Virtual System Tables (VTS), the database log file lets you troubleshoot landscape or connection issues after a server failure. You can easily determine which brokers were active during an event and how they were configured when they started.
