Configuring Log File Paths for Log4j

By default, Oracle Self-Service E-Billing writes log files to the following directory:

• UNIX. WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name
• Windows. WL_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name

It is recommended that you specify the log output paths to the following directory:

• UNIX. /opt/Oracle/eBilling/logs
• Windows. D:\Oracle\eBilling\logs

Oracle Self-Service E-Billing applications generate log files for the different functionality in each application. To change log output paths, update the XML log configuration files associated with each application.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Installing Oracle Self-Service E-Billing 6.2.

To change the output path of log files

• Edit the output path name in the File parameter for each log4j configuration files, located in the following directory:
  • UNIX. EDX_HOME/config
  • Windows. EDX_HOME\config

    The log4j configuration files are listed in the following table.

    Oracle Self-Service E-Billing Application	Log4j Configuration File	Log Files
    Billing and Payment	log4j.xml	eBilling-log apache-log root-log reporting-log hierarchy-log umf-log
    Command Center	log4j_cc.xml	FILE_Thirdparty
    Customer Service Representative	log4j_csr.xml	cba-log csr-log root-log reporting-log hierarchy-log umf-log

    For example, the log4j.xml configuration file specifies the default output path for the eBilling-log file as eBilling.log (under the application server's domain_name or profile_name directory):

  <appender name="ebilling-log" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

  <param name="File" value="eBilling.log"/>

  ...

  </ appender>

  To change the output path for the eBilling-log file, set the File value to /opt/Oracle/eBilling/logs/eBilling.log, as shown in the following example:

  <appender name="ebilling-log" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

  <param name="File" value="/opt/Oracle/eBilling/logs/eBilling.log"/>

  ...

  </ appender>
