Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector Output


The Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector utility creates output files and directories, as necessary, after each execution of the utility. The output files document the environmental setup information, application configurations, and log files if specified. For further information on running Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector, see Running the Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector.

The Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector Windows utility creates output in the format of a root directory with additional subdirectories and files. For details on Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector Windows output file information and locations, see Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector Output on Windows.

The Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector UNIX utility creates output in the format of compressed files. For details on Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector UNIX output file information and locations, see Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector Output on UNIX.

Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector uses the following naming convention for the creation of root directory and file names:

ss_{GS|SS|WS}yyyy-mm-dd_hh_mm_ss

Where:

ss = siebsnap

GS|SS|WS = Gateway Server, Siebel Server, or Web server

yyyy-mm-dd = Year, month, and day

hh_mm_ss = Hour, minute, and second based on a 24-hour clock.

For example, the directory or file name ss_SS2003-04-08_17_10_30 represents information collected for a Siebel Server on April 8th at approximately 5:00 PM, and the directory or file name ss_GS2003-04-07_14_18_58 represents information collected for the Siebel Gateway on April 7th at approximately 2:00 PM.
