From the Maintenance Tool, you can view files from the Log Zipper output file (productLogs.zip). When you click Browse to Log in the Maintenance Tool, a window displays a file navigation tree. The productLogs.zip file usually contains a folder with three subfolders with the same names as in the originating system. For example, you might see:
- Documents and Settings
- Program Files
- Windows
From these folders, you might want to view files such as:
- ProductRegistry.xml — Contains the BMC Software products, versions, and features installed on the system. Identifying the products and versions involved is an initial step for investigating issues.
- OperatingSystemData.xml — Contains information about the system that is relevant to the BMC Software products. Examining this file can direct your attention to system issues, such as insufficient resources or incompatible versions.
- InstalledConfiguration.xml — Contains important environment information from the last successful installation. (A separate installing configuration XML file captures environment and user selections during a current installation attempt.)
