By default the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search data loggers write data to, and the warehouse loaders read event logs from, the logs
directory of the server on which each component is running. This default location works if the loggers and loaders are running in the same server, but if they are on different servers, the loader components cannot find the log files.
For example, if you are using Search with Oracle ATG Web Knowledge Manager and Oracle ATG Web Knowledge Manager Self Service, you could have three servers named agent (running Knowledge Manager), customer-facing, (running Self Service), and management (running Search Administration and the SearchAdmin.datawarehouse
module). By default, log files for Knowledge Manager and Self Service search activities are written to the agent/logs
and customer-facing/logs
folders. The data warehouse loaders in Search look for the log files in management/logs
. In this case, you could configure defaultRoot
on the agent and customer-facing servers to point to management/logs
, or configure that property on all three servers to point to some other location.
