Opening the logging tool


You can access all log and event information by opening the logging tool in your web browser.

To open the logging tool

Perform one of the following tasks:

  • Use links that are provided in the Program Files folder.
  • Enter the URL of the server for which you want to view information:

    • HTTP://<servername>:80/BMCCDB (BMC CDB Services)
    • HTTP://<workflow_servername>:8080/CDB/CDB.LOG (BMC CDB Workflow Service)

    Note

    Your virtual directory name might be different from the one that is shown in the BMC CDB Services URL (BMCCDB). If so, replace BMCCDB with your virtual directory name.

    The initial window depends on whether you open the logging tool from the BMC CDB Services server (Log Viewer window on the BMC CDB Services server figure) or a BMC CDB Workflow Service server (Log Viewer window on a BMC CDB Workflow Service server figure).

On a BMC CDB Services server, the logging tool displays a list of servers, including the CDB source, as well as a list of remote BMC CDB Workflow Service servers for which you can view information.

Note

When you open the logging tool on the BMC CDB Services server, you must select a server from the CDB Server or Workflow Service Servers list. The server you select will be the data source for all the information the logging tool displays.
