books at bedtime
If you read technical blogs, you get the impression that these guys don't have a life and if they sleep at all, they sleep with the Siebel Bookshelf under their pillow.
I can confirm it is not that bad. However, rtfm is always a good thing and it sometimes reveals features that are quite helpful.
This post tries to shed some light on the Client-Side Logging or High-Interactivity Siebel applications. You can read the full documentation in the System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide.
Client-side logging for high-interactivity applications writes information to a local log file.
It is useful to close the gap in monitoring that existed in earlier Siebel versions, which means you can now
- capture browser activity data for troubleshooting, such as when a Siebel Web Client stops responding or fails
- Log individual user or global session information for a specific Siebel Server
- Debug the source code using JavaScript
- Trace the sequences of operations
change param
ClientSideLogging=True,
ClntTraceMode=1,
ClntLogFileSize=50,
ClntLogArchiveCount=5,
ClntLogDirectory=D:\SiebelLogs,
ClntTraceUnicode=true

Once enabled, log files are created in the given local directory of each client. Let's look at a typical file's content.

So it is possible to trace a complete client session from the the click in the browser to the operation in the database connector layer of the object manager.
