Set up the log4j2.xml file for Oracle Empirica Signal

You edit the log4j2.xml file to specify where to store Oracle Empirica Signal log files.

Perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.

1. Navigate to the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:

   $ cd /u01/stage/Signal_Install/Signal/WEB-INF/classes

2. Using a text editor, open the log4j2.xml file.
3. Set the <Property name="filePath"> tag parameter to the directory where the Oracle Empirica Signal log files will be stored; for example:

   <Property name="filePath">/u01/app/oracle/product/Signal/logs</Property>

   (Upgrade only) If you customized the log4j.properties file for the previous release of the Oracle Empirica Signal software, apply the customizations to the log4j2.xml file for the current release.

4. Save and close the file.
5. Set the permissions on the directory containing the log file to enable write access for the non-privileged user account.
