Table 22-1 Installation Log Files

File Name Description

oraInstalltimestamp.out

The log files are time stamped and each installation session creates a new log file.

On a Linux machine, the log files are located at $ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/logs.

When the installer is running the ksh script, the execution log is redirected to the below log files:

  • INSTALL_HOME/dma_infa_master_install/dmalogs/dma_etl_install.log = Contains a consolidated log file that is archived to INSTALL_HOME/ dma_infa_master_install /dmalogs/tmplogs/ with the time stamp for next execution of the installer. In case of restart, logs are appended to the existing dma_etl_install.log file.
  • INSTALL_HOME/dma_infa_master_install/dmalogs/tmplogs/script_name.error = Contains an error file if the script is not executed successfully.
  • INSTALL_HOME/dma_infa_master_install/dmalogs/tmplogs/script_name.done = Indicates that the script is executed successfully.

The installer generates the following reports:

  • ORACLE_HOME/reports/dma_infa_installtimestamp.html = Contains the installation summary of the Data Management Assembly for Informatica installation.
