System Logs

System logs contain information that Informatica Support views to help solve issues that you raise with Support. Ordinarily, you have no need to view these logs.

By default, the directory path is <Informatica_installation_directory>/logs/<Node_Name>/.. You can change the default directory path for logs with the System Log Directory parameter, -sld. You can use the -sld parameter with any of the following commands:

When you create a custom location, you can use a local location or a location that all domain nodes share. The Service Manager adds the node name to the path and creates separate log directories for each node.

When you update the gateway node or worker node with a new default location for system logs, existing logs remain intact. The server creates future logs at the new location, and abandons logs at the old location.

If you specify a node name when you change the default path, the Service Manager adds it to the path. For example, if you specify C:/logs/node1/ as the system log directory, the Service Manager creates logs in directories under C:/logs/node1/node1/.

If you have multiple Informatica domains, you must configure a different directory path for the Log Manager in each domain. Multiple domains cannot use the same shared directory path.
