Changing the Archive Destination

The default archive directory is \oracle\oradata\APPIQ\archive on Microsoft Windows and $ORACLE_HOME/oradata/APPIQ/archive on UNIX systems. Over time your database will grow. If you feel you are running out of space, you can add a new volume and change the archive destination to a new volume, as described in the following steps:

1.Access the Database Admin Utility as described in ”Accessing the Database Admin Utility” on page 233.

2.Click Set Archive Destination in the left pane.

3.Click Browse to select a file path.

4.Enter the password of the SYS account.

5.Click Set Archive Destination.

Downloading Log Files

Use the Download Logs option to view log files generated by the management server. Download Logs saves all the log files in a zip file, which is stamped with the date and time (24-hour clock).

NOTE: Some of the log files are generated only when you run certain features. For example, the reports.log file is only generated when you run reports.

Follow these steps to download all of the log files for the management server.
