You can save the log events that you filter and view in the Log Viewer. When you save log events, the Log Manager saves whatever logs that you are viewing based on the filter criteria. To save log events to a file, click Save Logs on the Log Actions menu.
The Log Manager does not delete the log events when you save them. The Administrator Tool prompts you to save or open the saved log events file.
Optionally, you can use the
infacmd
isp GetLog command to retrieve log events.
The format you choose to save log events to depends on how you plan to use the exported log events file:
XML file. Use XML format if you want to analyze the log events in an external tool that uses XML or if you want to use XML tools, such as XSLT.
Text file. Use a text file if you want to analyze the log events in a text editor.
Binary file. Use binary format to back up the log events in binary format. You might need to use this format to send log events to Informatica Global Customer Support.
