Installation and profile creation log files

Various log files are created during installation and uninstallation of WebSphere® ESB and during profile creation, augmentation, and deletion. Consult the applicable logs if problems occur during these procedures.

Table 1 shows the logs, content, and indicators of success and failure for WebSphere ESB.

If the logs directory does not exist on your system, the installation failed very early in the process. In this case, review the following:
  • For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system On Linux® and UNIX® platforms: user_home/wbilogs
  • For Windows operating system On Windows® platforms: user_home\wbilogs
  • For i5/OS operating system On i5/OS® platforms: user_home/wbilogs

Some directory paths, file names, and indicator values in Table 1 contain spaces to allow the entries to fit in the table cells. The actual directory paths, file names, and indicator values do not contain spaces.

The variable install_root represents the installation directory of WebSphere ESB. The variable profile_root represents the root location of a profile.

For i5/OS operating system On i5/OS platforms: The variable user_data_root represents the default user data directory.

For more information see Default installation directories for the product, profiles, and tools.
