Oracle recommends that you do not remove or manually edit
this file as it could affect installation and patching.
Note:
Logs Directory The Central Inventory contains installation logs in the following
location:
<central inventory location>/logs
The logs directory contains the logs corresponding to all installations carried out on
that node. You will also find a copy of the installation log in the $ORACLE_
HOME/cfgtoollogs directory.
The installation logs for an installation are identified by the timestamp associated with
the log files. These files are generally saved in the following format:
<Name_of_Action><YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS{AM/PM}>.log
For example consider an attachHome operation performed on 17th, May, 2005 at
6.45AM. The log file for the same would be created as follows:
AttachHome2005-05-17_06-45-00AM.log
Note:
The installation logs do not contain any errors or failures.
