Configuring Logs on the Remote Client

This topic describes how to set the parameters that control logging on the remote client. It includes the following topics:

• Temporarily Setting Event Levels
• Setting the Event Level

Temporarily Setting Event Levels

To modify the type of information that Siebel Remote collects, you can temporarily modify the SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS environment variable.

To temporarily set event levels

1. Open a DOS Window on the remote client computer.
2. Navigate to the SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\bin folder.
3. Enter the following command:

   set SIEBEL_LOG_EVENTS=event level

   For more information, see Setting the Event Level.

4. From the same DOS Window you opened in Step 1, log in to the remote client.

   For example, enter the following command:

   siebel /u username /p password /c cfg/ d local

   where:

   • username is the name of the user
   • password is the password assigned to the user
   • cfg is the name and path to the configuration file
   • local specifies the local database

     For more information, see Locating the Siebel Application Configuration File.

Setting the Event Level

The value for the event level can be between 0 and 5. A higher level collects more detailed information and uses more disk space. If you use the default value of 1, then Siebel Remote collects the minimum amount of information in the trace file. To troubleshoot a problem, you can set the event level to 3 or higher. If you set the event level to a higher value, then make sure sufficient disk space is available.
