Where to Locate the Logs for PeopleSoft Search Framework and SES

You will need access to the PeopleSoft Search Framework and SES logs to troubleshoot issues related to SES or search. The logs will help you troubleshoot issues related to installation or maintenance of the same.

Here are some of the logs, you will need to look at in case an issue arises:

  1. errorLog.html (in <PS_CFG>/webserv/<DOMAIN_NAME>/applications/peoplesoft/PSIGW.war) – It shows any errors encountered in communications between PeopleSoft and SES msgLog.html (in <PS_CFG>/webserv]/<DOMAIN_NAME>/applications/peoplesoft/PSIGW.war) -(need to go into integrationGateway.properties and set ig.log.level=5 for this to work). Then you will see all communications between PeopleSoft and SES

PIA
PIA_stdout.log (or NTService log on Windows) (in <PS_CFG>/webserv/<DOMAIN_NAME>/servers/PIA/logs) – This log may show errors in gateway communication (note that you want to look at the logs used by the Gateway)

It shows the machine name and port# that the SES Web server is using and you can tell whether it started successfully, and whether any errors are logged.
  2. access.log (in <SES_MIDDLETIER_HOME>/ user_projects/domains/search_domain/servers/search_server1/logs) – It shows all the http requests coming in to the mid-tier WebLogic server
