Viewing Entries in the Delivers iBot Log Directory

If an iBot fails to execute fully or if debugging is turned on in Oracle BI Scheduler, a log file is generated for the iBot.

The location for iBot log files is specified on the iBots tab of the Job Manager Configuration dialog box in Oracle BI Scheduler. The default location is the Log directory in the Oracle Business Intelligence installation directory on the machine where Scheduler is installed.

The log file name has the following format:

NQiBot-JobID-InstanceID.xxx

where:

The iBot error and debug log files are written as separate files for each iBot instance that fails to execute. You can use a text editor to view the files. Entries are generally self-explanatory. Exit codes are generic and do not indicate any particular condition.

The presence of an error log does not necessarily mean that an iBot failed completely. For example, suppose an iBot delivers content to multiple email addresses. If some of the addresses are invalid or the mail server is down, an error log is generated for the iBot.
