Configuring Logs on the Remote Client

This topic describes how to set the parameters that control logging on the remote client. It includes the following topics:

• Temporarily Setting Event Levels
• Permanently Setting Event Levels in Windows XP or Windows 2000
• Permanently Setting Event Levels in Windows NT
• Setting the Event Level
• Using Siebel Audit Trail with Siebel Remote

Temporarily Setting Event Levels

To change the type of information that Siebel Remote collects, you can temporarily change the SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS environment variable.

To temporarily set event levels

1. Open a DOS Window on the remote client computer.
2. Navigate to the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\bin directory.
3. Enter the following command:

   set SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS=event level

   For more information, see Setting the Event Level.

4. From the same DOS Window you opened in Step 1, log in to the remote client.

   For example, enter the following command:

   siebel /u username /p password /c cfg/ d local

   where:

   • username is the name of the user
   • password is the password assigned to the user
   • cfg is the name and path of the CFG (configuration) file
   • local specifies the local database

     For more information, see Locating the Siebel Application Configuration File.

Permanently Setting Event Levels in Windows XP or Windows 2000

You can permanently set event levels in Windows XP or Windows 2000.

To permanently set event levels in Windows XP or Windows 2000

1. On the remote client computer, in the Windows Start menu, choose Settings, and then Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, choose System.
3. Choose the File menu, and then the Open menu item.
4. Open the Environment Variables dialog box.
   • For Windows XP, click the Advanced Tab, and then click Environment Variables.
   • For Windows 2000, click Advanced Environment Variables.
5. In the Environment Variables dialog box, click New, and then enter values using information from the following table.

   Field	Description

   Variable Value	event level

   For more information, see Setting the Event Level.

6. Click OK.

   The newly added environment variable displays in the User Variables list. The new setting becomes effective the next time you start the remote client.

Permanently Setting Event Levels in Windows NT

You can permanently set event levels in Windows NT.

To permanently set event levels in Windows NT

1. On the remote client computer, in the Windows Start menu, choose Settings, Control Panel, and then System.
2. Click the Environment tab.
3. Click the Variable box and then set the variable to SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS.

   event level

   For more information, see Setting the Event Level.

5. Click Set.

   The newly added environment variable is visible in the User Variables list. The new setting becomes effective the next time you start the remote client.

Setting the Event Level

The value for the event level can be between 0 and 5. A higher level collects more detailed information and uses more disk space. If you use the default value of 1, then Siebel Remote collects the minimum amount of information in the trace file. To troubleshoot a problem, you can set the event level to 3 or higher. If you set the event level to a higher value, then make sure sufficient disk space is available.
