Log files

This topic describes the various log files that are created during installation and uninstallation of IBM WebSphere ESB and during profile creation and augmentation.

Consult the applicable logs if problems occur during installation, uninstallation, or during profile creation or augmentation. Table 1 shows the logs, content, and indicators of success and failure for WebSphere ESB.

Log files for WebSphere ESB components

Attention:
  • If the logs directory does not exist on your system, the installation failed very early in the process. In this case, review the /tmp/log.txt file on Linux and UNIX platforms or the %TEMP%\log.txt file on Windows platforms.
    Important: On Windows platforms, the %TEMP% directory can be hidden from the Windows GUI. It usually resolves to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp. To find the %TEMP% directory, do one of the following:
    • At a command prompt, type cd %TEMP%.
    • At a command prompt, type echo %TEMP% and copy and paste the result into Windows Explorer.
  • Some directory paths, file names, and indicator values in Table 1 contain spaces to allow the entries to fit in the table cells. The actual directory paths, file names, and indicator values do not contain spaces.
  • The variable install_root represents the installation directory of WebSphere ESB. The variable profile_root represents the root location of a profile, by default, install_root/profiles/profile_name on Linux and UNIX platforms or install_root\profiles\profile_name on Windows platforms.
