Starting the Log File Analyzer Under UNIX

Use the following command to start the Log File Analyzer (LFA) command-line utility under UNIX.

To start the Log File Analyzer under UNIX

1. Make sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Oracle Solaris), SHLIB_PATH (HP-UX), or LIBPATH (AIX) environment variable contains the full pathname for your database client library directory. For more information about these variables, see Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX.
2. Make sure the LFA configuration file (logreader.cfg) is present in the same directory as the utility. If this file is located in another directory, or has another name, then use the /f parameter described in Table 31. For more information about the configuration file, see Configuring the Log File Analyzer.
3. Enter logreader using, as necessary, other parameters listed in Table 31.

   The logreader command prompt appears after a successful start as follows:

   logreader>

4. Run the LFA by using the commands described in About Running Log File Analyzer Commands.
