Configuring SDDC Content on Microsoft Windows

On Microsoft Windows, Siebel Diagnostic Data Collector (SDDC) can be configured to modify or enhance the amount of information collected during an SDDC execution. A Microsoft Windows SDDC configuration file is required by SDDC to modify any configurations to the output. The configuration file is referenced during the SDDC execution.

By default, a configuration file is not included with the SDDC utility. It is recommended that you contact Oracle Global Customer Support before using configuration files by creating a service request (SR) on My Oracle Support. Oracle Global Customer Support provides configuration files based on the specific information you require. For information about SDDC configurations on UNIX, see Configuring SDDC Content on UNIX.

The SDDC configuration file is divided into sections that can be used to configure the type of information and log files collected by the utility. Edit the configuration file with a text editor. The following table provides the SDDC configuration file parameters.
