About the Siebel Upgrade Log Files

The Upgrade Wizard writes logs that provide detailed information on the upgrade processes and they also list all errors. The Upgrade Wizard writes the logs for a process to the following directory by default:

Windows: SIEBEL_ROOT\LOG\process

UNIX: $SIEBEL_ROOT/log/process

where process is the name of the upgrade process you have run, for example, upgrep_dev_782 or prepare_for_production_upgrade.

The process directory contains the following subdirectories:

  • Output. Directory containing the Upgrade Wizard 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.

Note: You can select a different log directory from the Log Output Directory screen on the Database Configuration Wizard.
