Logs Created During Installation, Upgrade, and Deinstallation

Use the STA installation, upgrade, and deinstallation logs to help troubleshoot issues.

Most log file names include a timestamp to help identify the installation or deinstallation instance. The timestamp is the date and time when the installation or deinstallation began.

In particular, the following logs provide valuable information if an installation, upgrade, or deinstallation fails.

  • installtimestamp.log
  • sta_installtimestamp.log
  • upgradetimestamp.log
  • sta_upgradetimestamp.log
  • deinstalltimestamp.log
  • sta_deinstalltimestamp.log

The locations of STA installation, upgrade, and deinstallation logs vary depending on the status of the operation. Logs are found in the following directories.

/tmp/OraInstalltimestamp

This directory includes logs for in-progress installations, upgrades, and deinstallations. The logs are moved from this directory upon successful completion of the operation. Following is a sample listing of logs you might see in this directory during an operation.
