Logging

Oracle GoldenGate Studio maintains logs for server and performance analysis, while also allowing debugging of issues by viewing drill-down details in the log.

You can also view the initial load logs for different source and target database combinations.

Server Logs

Explore how to set up and access server and performance logs.

  • You can find error message logs for GoldenGate Studio server and performance in the log directory. This directory is located in $STUDIO_INSTALLER_DIR/oggf/log.
  • To search for a GoldenGate Studio server log message, you need to search for the server log name using the name ggos-api-server%g.log.

    To search for a performance log message, use the name ggos-api-perf%g.log.

    The %g represents index of the file used to maintain the log rotation.

  • You can also access logs in the GoldenGate Studio user interface. To view details about the cause and action of an error message, select the error code (OGGOS-60000, for example).

You can configure different levels of logging for GoldenGate Studio Server and performance logs. For more information, see Configure Log Levels for Server and Performance Logs.

Initial Load Logs

There are two types of logs generated for the initial load process:
  • EXPDAT*.log: Export log from the source database.
  • IMPDAT*.log: Import log from the target database.

The location of the log files depends on the transfer medium (DBLink, Local Storage, and Object Storage) and type of database (Autonomous Database, or non-Autonomous Database). To learn about log retrieval of these log files, see Retrieve the Initial Load Log Files.
