Solution: A. Gather these files and send to Schneider Electric Technical Support
error.log, EventLog.txt, VirtualizationFileStore.properties, pcnsconfig.ini, javaVersionFile.log NOTE: VirtualizationFileStore.properties is only available with VMware and Hyper-V configurations
On Windows the default path is
C:\Program files\APC\PowerChute\group1
On VMware vMA or APC Appliance the default path is
/opt/APC/PowerChute/group1
B. There are attached scripts that can be used to gather and compress the needed file to send to Technical Support.
For Windows system

3. Change the name of pcnszip to pcnszip.vbs and winlogs to WinLogs.bat
4. Double click on WinLogs.bat to collect the files and create a zip file named apcfiles.zip
apcfiles.zip will be created in the fold WinLogs.bat was run in
5. Send apcfiles.zip via e-mail or FTP to Technical Support
For Linux
1. Download the attached file LinuxLogs
2. Copy LinuxLogs to the directory PCNS has been installed to (if help is needed coping the file to the vMA or PCNS Appliance see Kbase FA159776)
The default path is /opt/APC/PowerChute/group1
3. Change the permissions of LinuxLogs to make it an executable
The command is chmod +x LinuxLogs
4. Run the file to create a new file named apcfiles.tar in the directory LinuxLogs is run from
