Configuring Log File Paths for Log4j

By default, Oracle Billing Insight 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/BillingInsight/logs
• Windows. D:\Oracle\BillingInsight\logs

Oracle Billing Insight 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 Billing Insight 7.0.

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 Billing Insight Application	Log4j Configuration File	Log Files
    Self-Service	log4j.xml	eBilling-log apache-log root-log reporting-log hierarchy-log umf-log
    Command Center	log4j_cc.xml	FILE_Thirdparty
    Assisted Service	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/BillingInsight/logs/eBilling.log, as shown in the following example:

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

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

  ...

  </ appender>
