Installation log files

The type of log files you find on your system depends on the type of installation you performed.

About this task

To simplify administration, configuration, and backup and recovery, a new default behavior has been implemented with regard to the storage of product data and data generated by HCL Workload Automation, such as logs and configuration information. On UNIX operating systems, these files are now stored by default in the DATA_DIR directory, which you can optionally customize at installation time. By default, this directory is INST_DIR/TWSDATA for the server and agent components, and INST_DIR/DWC_DATA for the Dynamic Workload Console. The product binaries are stored instead, in the installation directory.

Note: If you deployed the product components using Docker containers, this is the default behavior and it cannot be modified. However, if you installed the product components using the command-line installation, the --data_dir parameter can be used to change the path.

Dynamic Workload Console: INST_DIR/DWC_DATA/installation/logs

On Windows operating systems, installation log files for the Dynamic Workload Console are stored in INST_DIR\logs.

On z/OS operating system, installation log files for the Dynamic Workload Console are stored in INST_DIR/DWC_DATA.
