Rational Performance Tester has the following logs:
The test log contains a historical record of events that occurred during a test run or a schedule run, as well as the status of each verification point. The test log sets a verdict for each run as follows:
The test log file is stored in binary format with a .executiondlr file name extension in the project directory of your workspace. You can also view the test log in the user interface.
For more information about viewing test logs, see Viewing test logs.
The problem determination logs contain internal information about the playback engine. These logs are particularly useful for debugging problems such as Kerberos authentication, SSL negotiation, and resource constraints on an agent. The log files are named CommonBaseEvents00.log and are located in the deployment directory. For example, if you play back a schedule on an agent and set C:\Agent as the deployment directory, the problem determination log files are in a directory similar to C:\Agent\deployment_root\rptUser\A1E14699848784C00D2DEB73763646462\CommonBaseEvents00.log. If a large amount of log information is generated, multiple CommonBaseEvents files are created.

In Rational Performance Tester 8.3, when you start the load generation agent, a majordomo.log file is created in the %temp% directory on a Microsoft Windows operating system. When you start the Rational Agent Controller, a servicelog.log file is created in the installationDirectory\AgentController\config directory.
These log files contain information about the agent operations. Typically, you use this file when asked to by IBM Software Support.
