Specify Walkback Directory

When an unexpected error occurs in SICS a so-called walkback is written. This file is important for DXC when troubleshooting errors.

The walkback is a zip file containing various information about the SICS installation and the error.

The SICS installation includes a walkback viewer which can be used to easily view the content of the walkback.

The default folder for walkback files is:
<java working directory>/walkback

The folder can be changed by:

  1. Open WEB-INF/web.xml inside sbs.war
  2. Change the init-param WalkbackFolder to a relative or absolute path

For example if the walkback should be written to D:\apps\walkback_001:

<init-param>
  <param-name>WalkbackFolder</param-name>
  <param-value>D:\apps\walkback_001</param-value>
</init-param>
