8.6.2 Logs

Oracle stored procedures implement Data Retention Manager and conducts some logging on the database server. A configuration parameter in the install.cfg file controls the path to which you store the logs on the database server.

As the Data Retention Manager performs partitioning and indexing activities, it generates a log that it enters in the <INSTALL_DIR>/ database/db_tools/logs/ DRM_Utility.log file (the logging process time-stamps all entries). The log file contains relevant information such as status of the various processes, results, and error records.

You can modify the current logging configuration for Data Retention Manager in the configuration files <INSTALL_DIR>/database/db_tools/ mantas_cfg/, install.cfg and categories.cfg. For more information about logging in these configuration files, See Common Resources for Administrative Utilities and Logging.
