View log files using wizard mode

We can view log files in IBM Installation Manager to troubleshoot installation issues.

Procedure

  1. Click File > View Log.
  2. From the Log panel, select a log file. We can view log information in the Details section. The Message section includes the location of the log files. The log files are XML files.

  3. In the Installation Log window, we can use the following icons to work with the installation log that is selected:

    • Export log file icon: Export the selected log to a location that you specify.

    • Log filters icon: Filter the contents of a selected log file to display log events of a particular severity. By default, Error, Warning, and Note are selected and Information is cleared. We can also filter by entering text into the Show event which source contains field. The severity must be selected for the events that are associated with the severity to be filtered. The log filters do not search all of the XML tags in the log file.

    • Open log file icon: Open the selected log file with the default web browser to view the information contained in the log file.
