1.1.3 About Oracle Universal Installer Log Files

When you install or deinstall products using OUI, important information about each installation is saved not only in the inventory, but also in a series of log files, located in the following directory:

$ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs

You can use these log files to troubleshoot installation problems. These files are also crucial for removing and configuring the various software components you install. OUI displays the name and location of the current session log file on the Install page. Each installation or configuration utility provides a separate folder containing the logs inside the $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs folder.

Note:

The logs used to remove products are different from the installActions<timestamp>.log generated during the install process. The installActions<timestamp>.log is easier to read and can be used to view the operations performed at installation time.
