When you install Oracle SOA Suite 11g, you will likely have three types of
managed servers available with the default installation—
AdminServer
,
soa_server1
, and
bam_server1
. These names can vary depending upon
what you choose to enter while creating the domain. In a cluster, the number of
managed servers may increase with incrementing numerals at the end (for ex-
ample,
soa_server2, bam_server2
, and so on). If you use a different nam-
ing convention, these names may not be the same, but for the purpose of the
topic we assume that we are dealing with the default configuration. Each of these
managed servers has several log files that include:
•
Managed server log file (for example,
soa_server1.log)
•
Diagnostic log file (for example,
soa_server1-diagnostic.log)
•
Server startup standard out log file (for example,
soa_server1.out)
•
The HTTP access log (
access.log
)
Fortunately, Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control provides the
ability to access and search several of these log files. The following steps will help
you to download the managed server log and diagnostic log files:
1.
Log in to Oracle Manager Fusion Middleware Control.
2.
Right-click on
soa-infra
, then navigate to
Logs
|
View Log Messages
.
3.
Click on the
Target Log Files
button.
4.
Select
soa_server1.log
(or any other log file), then click on the
Download
button.
In some cases, where the composite instance faults do not offer enough informa-
tion to help with the troubleshooting efforts, it may be necessary to search the log
file for a particular ECID to retrieve additional information. To search for a partic-
ular ECID in the log file:
