Installation log files
The type of log files you find on your system depends on the type of installation you performed.
About this task
To simplify administration, configuration, and backup and recovery, a new default
behavior has been implemented with regard to the storage of product data and data generated by
HCL Workload Automation, such as logs and configuration
information. On UNIX operating systems, these files are now stored by default in the
DATA_DIR> directory, which you can optionally customize
at installation time. By default, this directory is TWA_home>/TWSDATA for the server
and agent components, and DWC_home/DWC_DATA for the Dynamic Workload Console. The product binaries are stored instead,
in the installation directory. For more information, see Master components installation - serverinst script, Dynamic Workload Console installation - dwcinst script,
and Agent installation parameters - twsinst script.Note: If you deployed the product components
using Docker containers, this is the default behavior and it cannot be modified. However, if you
installed the product components using the command-line installation, the
--data_dir parameter can be used to change the path.
- master domain manager or dynamic domain manager and its backup
- <TWA_home>/TWSDATA/installation/logs
- Dynamic Workload Console
- <DWC_home>/DWC_DATA/installation/logs
- Dynamic agents and fault-tolerant agents
- <INST_DIR>/TWSDATA/installation/logs/twsinst_operating_system>_TWS_user>^product_version_number>.log, see The twsinst log files.
On Windows operating systems, installation log files are stored in the
following paths:- master domain manager or dynamic domain manager and its backup
- <INSTALL_DIR>\logs
- Dynamic Workload Console
- <INSTALL_DIR>\logs
When you install a fix pack, the suffix at the end of the file name lists the fix pack number in
addition to the General Availability version number, for example:
serverinst_9.<version_number>.0.0<fix_pack_number>.log
