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
