Examine the Mirror Replication Agent logs

The Mirror Replication Agent system log files contain warning and error messages, as well as information about the Mirror Replication Agent connections to the primary database and the primary Replication Server. Look for the most recent command you executed at the bottom of the log file to find the most recent message. The logs are located in the $SYBASE/MA-15_2/<inst_name>/log directory.

The following is sample output from an Oracle instance's log file that can be located in the $SYBASE/MA-15_2/<inst_name>/log directory:
