Notes on logging and tracing:
  • An easy way to view the logs is to open Installation Manager and go to File > View Log. An individual log file can be opened by selecting it in the table and then clicking the Open log file icon.
  • Logs are located in the logs directory of Installation Manager's application data location. For example:
    • For Windows platforms Administrative installation:
      C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Installation Manager\logs
    • For Windows platforms Non-administrative installation:
      C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\IBM\Installation Manager\logs
    • For AIX platforms For HP UNIX platforms For LINUX platforms For Solaris platforms Administrative installation:
      /var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs
    • For AIX platforms For HP UNIX platforms For LINUX platforms For Solaris platforms Non-administrative installation:
      user_home/var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs
  • The main log files are time-stamped XML files in the logs directory, and they can be viewed using any standard web browser.
  • The log.properties file in the logs directory specifies the level of logging or tracing that Installation Manager uses.
Notes on troubleshooting:
  • For HP UNIX platforms By default, some HP-UX systems are configured to not use DNS to resolve host names. This could result in Installation Manager not being able to connect to an external repository.

    You can ping the repository, but nslookup does not return anything.

    Work with your system administrator to configure your machine to use DNS, or use the IP address of the repository.

  • For more information on using Installation Manager, read the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.

    • For Windows platforms Click Start > Programs > IBM Installation Manager > Release Notes®.
    • For AIX platforms For HP UNIX platforms For LINUX platforms For Solaris platforms Go to the documentation subdirectory in the directory where Installation Manager is installed, and open the readme.html file.
