6.1 Introduction to Managing Log Files for Capture

By default, errors, warnings, and major application lifecycle events in Capture are logged on the application server. As a system administrator, you can progressively increase the log level to enable logging of configuration messages, debug messages, and trace messages. You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to view and configure log messages for your Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture system. See Managing Log Files and Diagnostic Data in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

6.1.1 Client Logging

Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture client errors are logged by the client using the logging level set under client preferences. Client log files are stored locally in the .oracle_capture/Log directory in the client user's home directory.

A log file is named as follows: WC{date} where date is in the format of MMddyyyy.

To view client log files, you may need to first direct the client user to increase the logging level. The client user can then retrieve log files from the specified location and manually send them to you.
