IBM Installation Manager logs

The log files of Installation Manager are common to any installation, regardless of which components you choose to install.
  • Windows C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/IBM/Installation Manager/logs
  • Linux /var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs
These logs in these directories are XML files with filenames that are a date and time stamp. For example, a log file with the name 20090122_1155.xml means a log from January 22, 2009 11:55a.m. The stamp indicates the date and time when Installation Manager was started.

Also, there could be log files in the ../logs/native directory. The existence of these files depend upon the components you choose to install during the installation process. The logs in this directory are plain text files with date and time stamps included in their names; the stamp indicate some specific time during the installation process.
