Questions:

• Where to see Teamcenter Syslog files?

Teamcenter Syslog files can be seen in windows temporary location it may be in the %temp% folder or at the time of installation temporary files path needs to be set.

• Unable to find Teamcenter Syslog files ??

If Teamcenter designer and Tc Admin person can not see syslog file then Go to—> TC_DATA directory and edit tc_profilevars.bat file and search for TC_KEEP_SYSTEM_LOG and un-comment that line.

i.e remove rem string from it and save the file.

tc_profilevars.bat is batch scripting and rem is stand for remark which means comment line in the batch script.
