Launching the Log File Analyzer Under Microsoft Windows


Use the following command to launch the Log File Analyzer (LFA) command-line utility under Microsoft Windows.

To launch the Log File Analyzer under Microsoft Windows

  1. Navigate to the binary subdirectory within the Siebel Server root directory (for example, /siebesrvr/bin).
  2. Make sure the LFA configuration file (logreader.cfg) is present in the same directory as the utility. If this file is located in another directory, or has another name, use the /f parameter described in Table 27. For further information on the configuration file, see Configuring the Log File Analyzer.
  3. At the Windows command prompt, enter logreader.exe using, as necessary, parameters listed in Table 27.

    The log reader command prompt appears after a successful launch as follows:

    logreader>

  4. Run the LFA by using the commands described in About Running Log File Analyzer Commands.

NOTE:  Make sure the DLL files MSVCR70D.dll and MSVCP70D.dll are present in the LFA directory.

Table 27 describes the parameters available for use during the launching of the LFA.
