Reviewing the Installation Log Files for the Siebel Web Client

After installing the Siebel Web Client software, review installation log files to verify that all of the components installed successfully, particularly if you experienced any difficulties with the installation. The log files are created in the following directory:

SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\cfgtoollogs\oui

The relevant log files for an installation session are named installActionsdate_time.log file. In the file name, date_time represents the date and time when the file was created; for example, installActions2017-07-02_10-28-04PM.log. For each set of files created, the oldest and largest log file generally represents the Siebel CRM module being installed, such as Siebel Web Client.
