pack-specific parameters. The core parameters are configured with all UBA
technology packs. Review the values for the parameters to make sure that
they are valid. For information about the core parameters, see the Properties
Reference. For information about the pack-specific parameters, see the
Topology Editor Help.

Log files
The Technology Pack Installer writes log files to the /usr/tmp directory.
Log files in this directory contain a detailed history of the tasks the Technology
Pack Installer performs as it installs technology packs. You can check this log file
to help solve any issues that might occur during technology pack installation. For
example, a log file might contain a message that indicates that the Technology Pack
Installer GUI cannot display back on your system because the DISPLAY
environment variable was not set. For more information, see Setting Up a Remote X
Window Display in the Installing Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager - Wireline
Component.
Log files for bulk technology packs are named installer<timestamp>.log, where
timestamp is the time that the file was created in seconds since the UNIX epoch.
Log files for stand-alone packs are named: APInstall<timestamp>.log.
For technology packs, log file names have the format APInstall<number>.log. For
example: APInstall1311248677586.log.
