SYNOPSIS

ovlogdump -h|-help 

ovlogdump -version 

ovlogdump [<binary_logfile_name>] 

ovlogdump -merge -tofile <binary_logfile_name> -fromfiles <binary_logfile1_name> <binary_logfile2_name>... 

DESCRIPTION

The ovlogdump command dumps a binary log file as text in the current locale to the console. To view the contents of a log file, specify its location and name. Otherwise, the system.bin file is dumped to the console by default.

By default, all the log files are stored in the following location:

• Windows

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\HP\HP BTO Software\log

• UNIX

  /var/opt/OV/log

If permissions are inadequate for the default locations, the log files are stored in the <OvDataDir>/log/public directory.

During application logging, if multiple log files are created, you can use the -merge option to merge these files into a single binary log file.

Parameters

ovlogdump recognizes the following options:

[<binary_logfile_name>]

Name and location of the binary log file to be dumped. If you do not specify the log file name, system.bin file in the <OVDataDir>/log/ directory displays on the console by default.

-merge -tofile <binary_logfile_name> -fromfiles <binary_logfile1_name> <binary_logfile2_name>....

Merges application log files specified by <binary_logfile1_name>.... into a single binary log file specified by <binary_logfile_name>. This option is not supported for merging system log files.
