Checking log files

If you provision an Operational Decision Manager virtual application pattern and the resulting instance is not as you expected or if there are errors, check the log files in the log viewer.

To view and download the virtual application instance log files, complete the following steps in the Virtual Application Instances window:

1. Select IBM ODM Application Pattern Type 8.5.
2. Select the virtual application instance from the listing. The application instance opens.
3. Click Virtual machine perspective from the application instance.
4. To open the log viewer, under the VM Status column of the individual virtual machine, click Log.
5. Expand each section to view the logs. You can view the following types of logs:

   IBM® ODM deployment logs

   In the following location: ../logs/PC_Role_name_Number.Role_name. In the previous file path, Role_name can be DMGR, CUSTOMNODE, CMNDB, ODMDB, PDWDB, or IHS.

   IBM ODM profile logs

   In the following location: /opt/IBM/ODM/v85/profiles/Profile_name/logs/: Role_name and then Log_path.

6. Optional: Download the log file. After you expand the log type and select a log, you can click the green arrow to download the log.
