How to find the siebel log files using command line?

While working on Siebel projects you must have come across numerous occasions where you need to find specific log with specific error or any one user name or any one xml value which is causing trouble.

Usually this type of task involve tedious task of opening all the log files during the time duration one by one. 


Perhaps there is an easier way possible using the command line. One can use grep command in linux and find command in windows to easily find the name of the log while which contains specific string.

These commands can search the entire siebel server log directory and give you specific file names which contain specific string.

With following command I can find the log file for specific user in entire directory:

find "USER_NAME" C:\Siebel\15.0.0.0.0\ses\siebsrvr\log\*.log

With following command I can find the file with specific Error:

find "SBL-BPR-00162" C:\Siebel\15.0.0.0.0\ses\siebsrvr\log\*.log

And finally with this command I can find the EAI Object Manager Log which got XML Converter error.

find "SBL-EAI-04112" C:\Siebel\15.0.0.0.0\ses\siebsrvr\log\EAI*.log /c

Isnt that simple? Happy Searching :)
