Oracle Hyperion: Logs in HFM 11.1.2.3

When we need Hyperion Logs, usually to send the information to SR or to find and search the error in the internet, we have to know where they are. So we will list the log file locations in case of an emergency.

1-E:\Oracle\Middleware\diag

Diagnostics directory under Middleware is where we can find the information needed when we run diagnostics tool.


2-E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\logs

What we have under this directory, is the logs belonging to application. For example, copy application log is found here. BIPlus logs are placed here. Whether we have done the right configuration or not, its logs are written under this path.

3-E:\Oracle\Middleware\logs

This path is more like the installation log file.

4-E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem2\diagnostics

Diagnostics paths under the domain home is the real location where the runtime logs are placed. We need to be aware of this directory's presence.


Note:Paths may change according to the directory installation.


How to view the system logs? 

There is actually two tools for this purpose given by Hyperion. In HFM 11.1.2.3, the application server of Hyperion, under
"E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\FinancialManagement\Consultant Utilities\" , our two are placed. One is the HFM Error Log Viewer to search for errors, second is to lookup for error which is seen on the HFM Error Log Viewer. Moreover, our research for solution becomes easier.
