Starting the Log File Analyzer on Microsoft Windows

Use the following command to start the Log File Analyzer (LFA) command-line utility on Microsoft Windows.

To start the Log File Analyzer on Microsoft Windows

Navigate to the binary (bin) subdirectory within the Siebel Server root directory (for example, C:\siebel\siebsrvr\bin).
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 the following table.
For more information about the configuration file, see Configuring the Log File Analyzer.
At the Windows command prompt, enter logreader.exe using, as necessary, parameters listed in the following table.
The log reader command prompt appears after a successful start as follows:
```
logreader>
```
Run the LFA by using the commands described in About Running Log File Analyzer Commands.

The following table describes the parameters available for use during the starting of the LFA.

/f	Locates the LFA configuration file if it is not present in the LFA utility directory or if the configuration file is named differently than logreader.cfg. Include the path or new configuration filename after the `/f` parameter. If the configuration filename includes a space, then enclose the argument with quotation marks.	`logreader /f abc.cfg` or `log reader /f g:\abc\abc.cfg`
/i	Specifies an input file that contains LFA commands. At startup, the LFA provides output from the commands listed in the input file. Include the filename and path, if necessary, after the `/i` parameter.	`logreader /i g:\abc\abc.txt`
