Essbase Server and Application Logs

Essbase Server writes, or logs, activities that occur in Essbase Server and applications in text files with a .log extension.

The Essbase Server log, named ESSBASE.LOG, is located in this directory in a standard Essbase installation:

EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/essbase/essbase_0/ESSBASE.LOG

Each application on Essbase Server has its own application log, named after the application. For example, the log file for the Sample application is named sample.log. In a standard Essbase installation, application logs are located in one of these directories, depending on the value of the DEFAULTLOGLOCATION configuration parameter:

Information in application logs can help you pinpoint where and why an error occurred.
