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...
