Monitoring Text Log File Size

When saving the log to a text file, Syniti Replicateuses the file DBMoto.log in the Log folder to store information about each replication session. Replication Agent performance decreases with the growth of the log file. To avoid this situation, plan to manage your log file by using the Replication Agent Options dialog in the Management Center.

  1. In the Metadata Explorer, select the server for which you want to set log options.

  2. From the right mouse button menu, choose Replication Agent Options, to open the Replication Agent Options dialog.

  3. In the Replication Agent Options dialog, go to the Log tab.

By default, the log file is a single file with a maximum size of 10MB, but you can change the maximum size or create a new file every certain number of days. If you are creating multiple log files, you can determine how many files you want to keep. Syniti Replicate then manages that number of files, naming them by date and/or increment number).

Note that, in the Replication Agent Options dialog,  you can also choose to save the log to a database or to the Windows Event Viewer.
