Configuration Manager generates task
execution messages, log files for each task, and a log file for diagnosing Configuration Manager errors.
- When you run a task in the Configuration Manager graphical user
interface, the task execution messages are displayed in the console
pane. When you run the task in the command-line interface, the messages
are written in the command window.
- In the Content Platform Engine Task View of
the graphical user interface, you can view additional status in the
console by right-clicking the task and then selecting Check
Task Status. See Checking the task status for
details. In the command-line interface, use the checkstatus command
within configmgr_cl to determine the status of
each task. For example, to determine the deployment status, run this
command:
configmgr_cl checkstatus -profile profile_name -task deployapplication
- The log file for each Configuration Manager task that you
execute is located in the temporary directory that you specified for
the task. For example, the configureldap task puts two files into
the ce_install_path/tools/configure/tmp directory:
| Log file |
Description |
|---|
| configureldap.tcl |
The running version of the script |
| configureldap.log |
The details log file |
- The .log file contains additional information
for diagnosing Configuration Manager errors.
The path to the file depends on the platform:
| Platform |
Path |
|---|
| AIX®, HPUX,
HPUXi, Linux, Linux on System z®, Solaris |
user_home_directory/configmgr_workspace/.metadata/.log |
| Windows |
user_home_directory\configmgr_workspace\.metadata\.log |
For example, on Windows the
path might be C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\configmgr_workspace\.metadata\.log.
