Well, when you bring it under odl, the files appear like: -rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 4999510 Jan 17 02:46 log19.xml -rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 4999510 Jan 19 12:53 log20.xml -rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 4999510 Jan 21 23:00 log21.xml -rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 3535396 Jan 23 16:05 log.xml So, afaik, you can't dictate the name of the odl logs (they are just that: current log being log.xml, and other old xml logs). But you can tell oc4j which directory you wanna put log.xml. Oracle supplied config file has soemthing like this: <file path="../log/server.log" /> I can replace it with <odl path="../log/" max-file-size="5000" max-directory-size="20000" /> In that case, I would see log.xml files in $OMS_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_EM/log/OC4J_EM_default_island_1/ ls -ltr $OMS_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_EM/log/OC4J_EM_default_island_1/ *.log -rw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 150491416 Dec 2 02:32 server.log -rw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 4666 Dec 17 17:15 jms.log -rw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 9332 Dec 17 17:15 rmi.log -rw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 17693 Dec 17 17:17 global-application.log -rw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 4373299 Jan 23 09:29 em-application.log if I bring the all of the above under ODL, and if I keep the old path = "../log/", it wreaks havoc, because all these applications may try to write the same file: log.xml That's why, I didn't use ../log/server/ for every thing $pwd /home/oracle/product/10.2.0/oms10g/j2ee/OC4J_EM/config $ grep odl * application.xml: <odl path="../log/global-application/" max-file-size="1000" max-directory-size="10000"/> default-web-site.xml: <odl-access-log path="../log/default-web-access/" max-file-size="5000" max-directory-size="20000" /> http-web-site.xml: <odl-access-log path="../log/http-web-access" max-file-size="1000" max-directory-size="10000"/> jms.xml: <odl path="../log/jms/" max-file-size="1000" max-directory-size="10000"/> rmi.xml: <odl path="../log/rmi/" max-file-size="1000" max-directory-size="10000"/> server.xml: <odl path="../log/server/" max-file-size="5000" max-directory-size="20000" /> On Jan 23, 2008 3:36 PM, <Joel.Patterson@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I suspect I wasn't clear in the other thread when I asked what directory > convention you used. > > I see you used ../log/server which creates a directory etc like all the > others, but I was also considering including orion-application.xml's in > the consideration.
