Patch report and log file locations, lists the files that the installation software creates during the install process.

Patch report and log file locations:
Name Path File
Install log <BASEDIR>/smarts/setup/logs Install.<product>_SUITE.<patchversion>.log
Merged files log <BASEDIR>/smarts/setup/logs merge-summary-<patch version>.log

Install Log

The installer creates an Install log file listing all actions performed by the installation. You need not read this file unless you suspect an installation failure.

If the installation process fails, the log files are located in a temporary directory, for example /tmp or C:\temp. A non-zero status indicates a failure.

Merged Files Log

This log lists the files in the BASEDIR/smarts/local directory structure that were merged. For each merged file, the log lists the location and name of the file. If any file cannot be merged due to conflicts, this is also noted. In addition, the log lists the name and location for unmerged versions of all user-modifiable files that are included in the patch.

For example, in case of ESM:
  • Summary of merge operation can be found at location: /opt/InCharge/ESM/smarts/setup/ logs/merge-summary-11.x.x.x.log
  • For more detail logs: /opt/InCharge/ESM/smarts/setup/logs/detail-merge-11.0.1.1.log

Review the Results of the Reconciliation Process

The results of the reconciliation analysis performed during the installation and all actions taken are included in the merged files log located in <BASEDIR>/smarts/setup/logs. The name of the log file is: install.merge.<patch version>.log.
