About SWSE Logging

The Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE) generates one or more log files as a result of connection attempts with the Siebel Server. These log files reside in SWEAPP_ROOT\log directory (SWEAPP_ROOT is the installation directory of the Siebel Web Server Extension).

The format of the SWSE log file name is as follows:

PlatformPrefix_Timestamp_Proc_ID.log

where:

PlatformPrefix = ss

timestamp = Date of log file in YYMMDD format.

Proc_ID = The operating system process ID for the Web server that hosts the SWSE.

Depending on the logging level you choose, these files record errors, warnings, and general information. You can set log levels using environment variables on the machine hosting the Web server. For information on configuring SWSE logging, see Configuring SWSE Logging.

NOTE:  SWSE does not use logging event levels as defined for Siebel Server and Siebel Server components.

Events such as Web server failures or invalid configuration of the Siebel Web Engine are captured in these logs. Analyzing the log files can provide clues for troubleshooting problems with the SWSE.
