Event Levels

Users set the type of information to be collected by temporarily changing the environment variable SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS.

To temporarily change the environment variable SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS

  1. Open a DOS Window and change the current directory to the <ClientRootDir>\bin directory.
  2. Enter the following command:

    set SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS=<event level>

    NOTE:  <event level> can be between 0 and 5. Higher levels collect more detailed information and use more disk space. With the default value of 1, minimal information is collected in the trace file. Set event level to 3 or higher to troubleshoot a problem, or if assistance is required from Siebel Technical Support.

    When setting to the higher levels, check that sufficient disk space to is available.

  3. Launch the Siebel client application with the appropriate parameter from the same DOS Window.

    For example, to launch the Siebel application with user=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, and CFG (name and path of the CFG file), and then to log in to local database, enter:

    siebel /u USERNAME /p PASSWORD /c CFG/ d local

This environment variable can also be changed permanently. To do this, follow the procedures below.
