Recording Behavior with Siebel Flight Data Recorder

Siebel flight data recorder log files, identified with the .fdr extension, are records of system and server component behavior at run time. In the event of a system or server component failure, the settings and events leading up to the failure are captured and logged. The Siebel flight data recorder log file can then be used to troubleshoot and analyze the specific settings and events that occurred prior to the failure. The Siebel flight data recorder log files are stored in the Binary subdirectory of the Siebel Server root directory.

FDR instrumentation points have been embedded in the Workflow Process Manager business service and the Workflow Recovery Manager business service to provide capture-processing details in case of a system failure or server component failure.
