Logging

Setup activities are logged in the files %temp%\ARIS_install_log and %temp%\aris_install_full.log.

Activities considering the download or the start process of ARIS clients are recorded. Under %UserProfile%\ARIS<version>\log and %temp% you will find files, such as ARISLauncher_<timestamp>.log or StartARISFailed_<timestamp>.log.

All activities of runnables are recorded in the log directories of the server installation directory.

The log files are located in the directory <path to installation directory>\, such as:

  • .\server\bin\work\<instanceid>\base\logs\

    Example: C:\ARIS GmbH\ARIS<version>\server\bin\work\work_abs_m\base\logs

  • .\server\acc\log\

  • .\server\logs\

  • .\server\bin\log\

If problems occur during operation, you can use log files to find and resolve errors.

You can collect ARIS log files in different ways:

  • Using the ACC interface.

  • Using the collect log files ACC command. We recommend using this command. Only if the command does not work, use the collectLogFiles.bat or collectLogFiles.sh.

  • Using the collectLogFiles.bat or collectLogFiles.sh is no longer recommended because all runnables must be stopped before executing the file <path to server installation directory>\support\collectLogFiles.bat. On Linux systems the file is called collectLogFiles.sh. Users running these files require read permission for the log files. All collected log files are saved as a ZIP archive.

If you cannot solve the problems and have a maintenance agreement, please send an error description and the ZIP archives containing collected log files as well as the entire contents of the log and config directories to Global Support.
