About the Siebel Log Files

The Upgrade Wizard writes logs that provide detailed information on the installation and configuration processes you run, and they also list all errors. The Upgrade Wizard writes the logs for a process to one of the following directories by default:

• Windows: SIEBSRVR_ROOT\LOG\process

• UNIX: SIEBSRVR_ROOT/log/process

where process is the name of the process you have run, for example, install_mf (install a Siebel database) or imprep (import repository).

Note: You can select a different log directory name from the Log Output Directory screen when you run the Database Configuration Wizard.

The process directory contains the following subdirectories:

• Output. Directory containing the process log files

• State. Directory containing the state.log file

The output and state directories are automatically archived on subsequent runs of a process that completes successfully. (The names of subsequent log directories are appended with _1, _2, and so on.) To preserve disk space, periodically delete or save log directories to another location.
