Locating log files

In addition to the Management Console event log, CDC Replication produces other logs to help troubleshoot installation and replication errors.

Review the log files in the CDC_installation_directory/Uninstall/Logs directory if you encounter any errors during the installation of IBM® Data Replication - CDC Replication.

If you encounter replication errors or replication stops, review any of these trace logs:

CDC_installation_directory/log: This directory contains information for a CDC Replication problem. Refer to this directory if the problem is related to configuring an IBM Data Replication instance. However, it is always useful to refer this directory as well as the CDC_installation_directory/instance/instance_name/log directory to troubleshoot any problem.
CDC_installation_directory/instance/instance_name/log: This directory stores trace files for a specific CDC Replication instance. It is also useful to refer to the CDC_installation_directory/instance/instance_name/log directory to troubleshoot your problem. When tracing has been enabled, the trace files will be enabled under CDC_installation_directory/instance/instance_name/log/on.
CDC_installation_directory/instance/instance_name/tmp: This directory temporarily stores data such as incomplete large transactions and large LOB data values.
CDC_installation_directory/instance/instance_name/stagingstore: This directory stores single scrape staging store data that does not fit in memory. When a CDC Replication instance is stopped normally, the contents of this staging store are written to files that are stored in this directory.
