The OC4J logfile (contained on your application server) is the logfile that the application writes all its error messages to.  

!Rotating OC4J Server Logs

This logfile can grow to quite a size and you may find it useful to "rotate" the files so that they don't get to large, and can be accessed, backed up , et cetera.

The OC4J server log can be rotated based on the size of the log file in megabytes, or the log file can be rotated daily at a certain hour.  However, the file names of the logs and the paths are different than the current configuration. The __opmn.xml__ file must be edited using the following parameters:

;{{stdstream.filesize=''max_file_size''}}: The maximum size any file in the archive will be allowed to grow to, in megabytes. Files are rotated when this maximum is reached.
;{{stdstream.filenumber=''max_files''}}: The maximum number of files to keep as archives. The oldest file will be automatically deleted when the limit is exceeded.
stdstream.rotatetime=HH:mm
The time at which the log file will be rotated each day.


Example:
The instance is called 'cronos'. All paths are relative to <ORACLE_HOME>.

__opmn.xml__
{{{
<process-type id="cronos" ...
   <data id="java-options" value="-server -Xmx512m   -Dstdstream.filesize=1  -Dstdstream.filenumber=10
        -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/cronos/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.webdir.enable=false"/>
   <data id="oc4j-options" value="-out ..\..\opmn\logs\OC4J.log -err   ..\..\opmn\logs\OC4J.log"/> 
}}}
* This will create up to 10 log files, each with a size of 1MB.
* The original log file was in \opmn\logs\OC4J~cronos~default_group~1
* New log here: \opmn\logs\cronos_default_group_1\OC4J_2008_02_28_09_51_20.log
* If no directories are specified in the oc4j-options the new logs will be in \j2ee\home\cronos_default_group_1\
