Viewing the InfoSphere MDM installation logs

During the installation process, logs are created in the MDM_INSTALL_HOME/logs/database directory. Use these logs to help you when troubleshooting or verifying your installation.

About this task

Logs are stored in .xml files with the date and time of the installation as the file name. For example, a file with the name 20130312_1101.xml, indicates the installation occurred on March 12, 2013 at 11:01. You can access the logs in two different ways.

• On the final IBM® Installation Manager panel after the installation is complete, click View Log File.
• Go to the MDM_INSTALL_HOME/logs/database directory and open the .xml file.
