OBIEE 11g – Important Log Files & Log File Locations List


This blog is an attempt to answer questions around important log files for OBIEE 11g, log file locations and location example. What are more fascinating for me are more and more questions around max size and rotation policy of log files which I will cover in subsequent blogs.

OBIEE 11g Log Files

OBIEE 11g log files, log location and location example are listed as below. I have copied this information from Oracle Support web.
