Installation logs

There are two types of logs that are created during the installation process. One set logs IBM® Installation Manager related information and the other logs InfoSphere® MDM related information.

The location of IBM Installation Manager logs depends on how the application was installed. If IBM Installation Manager was installed in admin mode (root user on UNIX), the logs are in /var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs. If the application was not installed in admin mode, the logs are in $HOME/var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs.

You can also specify a location for the IBM Installation Manager logs by updating the Agent Location variable (cic.appDataLocation) in the config.ini file. The config.ini is in the InstallationManager_INSTALL_HOME/eclipse/configuration directory.

InfoSphere MDM logs are in the MDM_INSTALL_HOME/logs/database directory.

The following directories contain logs that are created when the physical MDM database SQL scripts are run (by manual installation and by the installer):
  • MDM_INSTALL_HOME/logs/database/DomainData
  • MDM_INSTALL_HOME/logs/database/CoreData
  • MDM_INSTALL_HOME/logs/database/CMData

Log files that are created by bootstrapping a virtual MDM database that uses ODBC are in MDM_INSTALL_HOME/logs/database/Virtual
