Client-Side Logging Variables
The following client-side environment variables can be set to assist with event logging administration. Review the documentation specific to your operating system for details on changing these variables.
- SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS. The SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS environment variable sets the event logging level, which determines the extent of information captured in the log file. See Table 19 for level settings and descriptions of information captured. More information is captured when the environment variable is set to a higher numeric value, and less information is captured when the variable is set to a lower numeric value. The numeric value is inversely proportional to the severity of the information—0 is more severe than 5 for instance. More disk space is consumed and performance is hindered, therefore, when the value is set to a value of 5 than a value of 0.
- SIEBEL_LOG_ARCHIVES. The SIEBEL_LOG_ARCHIVES environment variable determines the number of log files archived. Set this value to a positive integer; this value indicates the number of files that will be saved. For example, if the value is 3 then only the 3 most recent log files are retained, any additional log files are deleted. When a new log is created,
program.log
, the previous versions are archived asprogram_1.log
,program_2.log
, and so on. The numbers in the file name increase as the file gets older. The oldest log file that numbers past the integer setting is deleted. The default value of this variable is ten.- SIEBEL_LOG_DIR. The SIEBEL_LOG_DIR environment variable determines the log file location. Set this variable to change the location from the default directory. Make sure this directory already exists, access permission to write a file in that location is available, and sufficient space is free to support the log file.
