Log Files
One of the first things that you should do when an installation finishes-whether successfully or not-is to examine the log files. Not all errors are propagated up to OUI where the main Graphical User Interface can display an error message box.
Open OUI log files in a text editor and search for these words:
SEVERE - This indicates that an error occurred that should not be ignored.
Exception - Some of these may be ignored. You have to determine if they are serious enough to warrant concern. For example, an exception that occurs when copying a file may not be of concern to you because you will not run the Development Client's functionality that uses that file. If you are in doubt whether or not you can ignore an error, contact Oracle's Global Customer Support.
