Location of the installation logs on Windows

Errors and warnings generated during the installation of CICS® Transaction Gateway are recorded in the appropriate log file.

Use the log files to diagnose any problems that cause an installation to fail. Any existing log files are overwritten by a new installation.

The following log files are created on Windows after a completed installation:
  • <install_path>\installlogs\cicstgInstall.log
  • <install_path>\installlogs\cicstgMessages.log
  • <install_path>\installlogs\cicstgSymlinks.log
  • <install_path>\installlogs\cicstgCRuntimeLibsInstall32.log
  • <install_path>\installlogs\cicstgCRuntimeLibsInstall64.log (64-bit operating systems only)
  • <install_path>\installlogs\cicstgFind.log
If the installation fails or the installation is canceled, the following log files are created on Windows:
  • %TMP%\cicstgInstall.log
  • %TMP%\cicstgFind.log
If an existing CICS Transaction Gateway could not be removed automatically during the upgrade the following log might also be created:
  • %TMP%\cicstgUninstall.log
