## Logging

### Use

All installation/update steps and the steps involved in upgrading database instances and their server software are saved in log files. The name of the log file indicates the MaxDB or SAP liveCache product name.

##### Conventions

Directories

##### Location of Log Files for Installations/Updates

● UNIX/Linux (tgz package):
<independent_data_path>/wrk/MAXDB<profile>_install-<date>-<time>.log

or

<independent_data_path>/wrk/SAPliveCache<profile>_install-<date>-<time>.log

● Microsoft Windows:
<independent_data_path>\wrk\MAXDB<profile>_install-<date>-<time>.log

or

<independent_data_path>\wrk\SAPliveCache<profile>_install-<date>-<time>.log

If the <independent_data_path> directory is not known when the system crashes, the log file is created in the current directory.

If you have installed/updated individual software components, the steps are logged in:
MAX DBSoftware_install-<date>-<time>.log

or

SAPliveCache Software_install-<date>-<time>.log
