About Client-Side Log File Archives

The archive directory for client-side logging holds historic log data up to a preset number of files. You set the maximum number of files to be held in the archive directory in the SEBLCL_LOGARCHIVECOUNT user environment variable. A new directory, SEBLCL_LOGDIR\logarchive, is created in the directory where the current log file is being created, and the log files are archived in that directory. The Siebel Web Client checks for any log files to be archived when a user logs in.

NOTE:  Client-side logging applies only to Siebel CRM applications deployed using high interactivity.

The current log file is typically identified as SiebelCL.session_ID.log. In this file name, session_ID is the unique session ID number created for the user.

When this log file reaches a preset file size limit (configured in the SEBLCL_LogFileSize environment variable or in the ClntLogFileSize server component parameter), another log file is created in the same directory (up to the limit specified in the ClntLogArchiveCount server component parameter), using the following convention:

SiebelCL. session_ID.0n.log, SiebelCL.session_ID.0(n+1).log

NOTE:  Recall that client-side settings take precedence over server-side settings.
