Managing log files using edgetmsg2
You can use the edgetmsg2 utility to manage message log files. You can use the
edgetmsg2 utility to write a message to a log file or to the console, read the log
file and print to the console, and display the available log files.
Before managing log files with the edgetmsg2 command, review the following
information:
■ You must be logged in as the Database Administrator or root to
use this command.

■ By default, only messages with a severity equal to or greater than
ERROR will be logged.
