5 Troubleshooting
Recovering from an installation failure
Collecting trace directories
HP SUM generates a set of debug trace logs located in the %TEMP%\hp_sum directory on Windows
systems. These files contain internal process and debug information, which can be useful in
determining HP SUM failures.
The debug trace files can be located under %temp%\hp_sum for windows. The log files can be
located under C:\cpqsystem\hp\log. These files provide the following information and are
appended in each HP SUM session.
HP SUM has a utility named GatherLogs.exe (Windows) or GatherLogs.sh (Linux) to create a
compressed file (Windows: .zip; Linux: tar.Z) 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.
