Did you try to specify username and password in the SL4NT action =

definition,

not in the DSN?

All log entries are queued and submitted in batches to the DB-table. =

Could

it be that you stopped the service immediately after generating syslog

messages? In this case, all DB-connections are terminated immediately =

and

queued log entries are discarded.

Is there anyone monitoring this newsgroup who has experience with SL4NT

logging to an Oracle-DB? If yes, please advice...
