Installation log files

The type of log files you find on your system depends on the type of installation you performed. This section describes the logs associated with the different installations.

For more information about log files, see the Tivoli® Workload Scheduler: Administration Guide.

Interactive wizard installation and uninstallation log files

You can check the following log files for information about the installation. Details of the installation process are recorded in log files on the local computer in the following directories:

Note:

The following values are valid only if you have not changed the default value of the TEMP system variable.

Windows operating system: %Temp%\TWA\tdwc86
UNIX and Linux operating systems: /tmp/TWA/tdwc86

Table 43 lists the InstallShield wizard log files.

For multiple installations on the same workstation, the log header and footer indicate the user ID (TWS_user) for which the installation was performed.

Note:

If you are running a silent installation and the response file you are using does not have the correct syntax, the installation fails without producing a log.

Installation log files for the embedded WebSphere Application Server

The application server installation has no log. However, if you update the application server, for example during the application of a Tivoli Workload Scheduler fix pack, a log is created which gives information about the update. The log can be found in the directory TWS_home/eWAS/logs/update, where you will find a directory that identifies the fix pack that has been installed, for example: 7.0.0-WS-WASEmbeded-AixPPC64-FP0000027.install, which contains a log file called /updatelog.txt.

The log for the startup of the application server can be found at:

TWS_home/eWAS/profiles/TIPProfile/logs/server1/startServer.log
