LOG FILE LOCATIONS FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF LOGS Log files are useful in troubleshooting issues in Oracle Applications.

Here is t he list of Log file location in Oracle Applications for Startup/Shutdown, Clonin g, Patching, DB & Apps Listener and various components in Apps R12/12i: A. Startup/Shutdown Log files for Application Tier in R12 Instance Top is new TOP added in R12. Most of the logs are location in INST_TOP. Below are the location for logs files for Startup/shutdown processes: Startup/Shutdown error message text files like adapcctl.txt, adcmctl.txt $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/appl/admin/log Startup/Shutdown error message related to tech stack (10.1.2, 10.1.3 forms/report s/web) $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/ (10.1.2 & 10.1.3) $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/10.1.3/Apache/error_log[timestamp] $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/10.1.3/opmn/ (OC4J~ , oa*, opmn.log)$INST_TO P/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/10.1.2/network/ (listener log) $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/appl/conc/log (CM log files) B. Log files related to cloning in R12 Preclone log files in source instance i) Database Tier - /$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/(StageDBTier_MMDDHHM M.log) ii) Application Tier - $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/admin/log/ (StageAppsTier_MM DDHHMM.log) Clone log files in target instance Database Tier - $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/ApplyDBTier_<time>.log Apps Tier - $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/admin/log/ApplyAppsTier_<time>.log If your clone on DB Tier fails while running txkConfigDBOcm.pl (Check metalink note - 415020.1) During clone step on DB Tier it prompts for Target System base directory for sour ce homes and during this you have to give like /base_install_dir like ../../r12 a nd not oracle home like ../../r12/db/tech_st_10.2.0 C. Patching related log files in R12 i) Application Tier adpatch log - $APPL_TOP/admin/$SID/log/ ii) Developer (Developer/Forms & Reports 10.1.2) Patch - $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_sto rage iii) Web Server (Apache) patch - $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage iv) Database Tier opatch log - $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage D. Autoconfig related log files in R12 i) Database Tier Autoconfig log : $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/MMDDHHMM/adconfig.log $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/MMDDHHMM/NetServiceHandler.log ii) Application Tier Autoconfig log - $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/admin/log/$M MDDHHMM/adconfig.log Autoconfig context file location in R12 - $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/appl/admi n/$CONTEXT_NAME.xml E.
