Oracle BPM Log Files

Oracle BPM uses multiple log files to store information about different components. These include log files for installation, application behavior, and runtime monitoring.

The following sections describe the log files used by Oracle BPM. These log files may be useful in troubleshooting problems that can occur when you are installing or using Oracle BPM.
