Collecting trace directories
If you need to contact HP for support with an issue, run the GatherLogs utility. GatherLogs is
in the same directory as HP SUM.
In HP SUM 5.x, HP SUM generates a set of debug trace logs located in the %TEMP%\HPSUM
directory on Windows systems. These files contain internal process and debug information which
can be useful in determining HP SUM failures. In HP SUM 6.x, the files are stored in the %temp%\HP
SUM for 6.x directory.
In HP SUM 5.x, the debug trace files are located under %temp%\hp_sum for Windows. The log
files are located under C:\cpqsystem\hp\log. These files provide the following information
and are appended in each HP SUM session.
HP SUM 5.0.0 and later includes a utility named GatherLogs.bat (Windows) or
Gatherlogs.sh (Linux) to create a compressed .zip (Windows) or tar.Z (Linux) file with all the
logs. If you need to review the log files, you can run this utility to gather all the logs in one file.
NOTE: Exit HP SUM before running the GatherLogs utility.
The following are the debug files for HP SUM 5.x.
