5 Configuring and Viewing Capture Log Files

This chapter describes how to configure and view the log files for Oracle WebCenter Capture.

This chapter includes the following sections:

5.1 Introduction to Managing Log Files for Oracle WebCenter Capture

By default, errors, warnings, and major application lifecycle events in Oracle WebCenter Capture are logged on the application server. As a system administrator, you can progressively increase the log level to enable logging of configuration messages, debug messages, and trace messages. You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to view and configure log messages for your Oracle WebCenter Capture system. For more information about managing log files, see "Managing Log Files and Diagnostic Data" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

Oracle WebCenter Capture client errors are logged by the client using the logging level set under client preferences. Client log files are stored locally in the .oracle_capture/Log directory in the client user's home directory. To view client log files, you may need to first direct the client user to increase the logging level. The client user can then retrieve log files from the specified location and manually send them to you.
