Configuring Log File Paths for Log4j

By default, Oracle Self-Service E-Billing writes log files to the following directories on the application server:

• Oracle WebLogic: $WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name
• IBM WebSphere: $WS_HOME/profiles/profile_name

It is recommended that you specify the log output paths to the $EDX_HOME/logs directory, where EDX_HOME is the directory where you installed Oracle Self-Service E-Billing, as follows:

• UNIX. /opt/Oracle/eBilling/logs
• Windows. D:\Oracle\eBilling\logs

Oracle Self-Service E-Billing consists of three applications, each of which generates appender (-log) files. To change log output paths, you update the XML log configuration files associated with each application.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Installing Oracle Self-Service E-Billing.

To change the output path of log files

• In each configuration file, located in EDX_HOME/config (where EDX_HOME is the directory where you installed Oracle Self-Service E-Billing), edit the output path name in the File parameter for each of the appender log files.

  Oracle Self-Service E-Billing Application	Log4j Configuration File	Log Files
  Billing and Payment	log4j.xml	ebilling-log apache-log root-log reporting-log hierarchy-log umf-log
  Command Center	log4j_cc.xml	FILE_ESTATEMENT FILE_SCHEDULER FILE_Thirdparty
  Customer Service Representative	log4j_csr.xml	cba-log csr-log root-log reporting-log hierarchy-log umf-log

  For example, the log4j.xml configuration file specifies the default output path for the eBilling-log file as eBilling.log (under the application server's domain_name or profile_name directory):

  <appender name="ebilling-log" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

  <param name="File" value="eBilling.log"/>

  ...

  </ appender>

  To change the output path for the eBilling-log file, set the File value to /opt/Oracle/eBilling/logs/eBilling.log, as shown:

  <appender name="ebilling-log" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

  <param name="File" value="/opt/Oracle/eBilling/logs/eBilling.log"/>

  ...

  </ appender>
