Data Broker Logs

Question

Hi,
Where can i see the DG Broker logs? Oracle Docs says its here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/troubleshooting.htm#i1009720
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log/drc*.log
but i don't see anything in that folder.
While i was trying to configure my DG Broker manually. I keep getting the following errors while trying to show configuration or show database target db.
Warning: ORA-16610: command "Broker automatic health check" in progress
Warning: ORA-16607: one or more databases have failed
Error: ORA-16662: network timeout when contacting a database
What exactly is going on and how to get this error resolved? I am trying to do this to setup FFS but i am getting stuck here. Really appreciate any help in this regard.

Hello;
If I remember correctly you are running 11.1.0.6.0. I see Uwe has answered the log question.
You should consider removing you setup and starting over using this note :
How to Safely Remove a Data Guard Broker Configuration [ID 261336.1]
My quick setup is :
On both Primary and Standby sites, change the initialization parameter in the spfile to enable the Data guard broker.
SQL> Alter system set dg_broker_start=True scope=both;
System altered.
/home/oracle:PRIMARY >dgmgrl
DGMGRL> connect sys/password@PRIMARY
Connected.
DGMGRL>
DGMGRL> create configuration 'broker1' as
primary database is 'PRIMARY'
connect identifier is 'PRIMARY';
Configuration "broker1" created with primary database "PRIMARY"
DGMGRL>
(‘primary’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the PRIMARY database)
Add Standby Database to the above configuration.
DGMGRL> add database 'STANDBY' as
connect identifier is 'STANDBY'
maintained as physical;
Database "STANDBY" added
The next step is to ENABLE the configuration ‘broker1’.
DGMGRL> enable configuration;
Enabled.
DGMGRL>
DGMGRL> show configuration
DGMGRL> enable configuration;
Enabled.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration - broker1
  Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
  Databases:
    PRIMARY - Primary database
    STANDBY - Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Configuration Status:
SUCCESSFor this error :
Warning: ORA-16610: command 'Broker automatic health check' in progress
Make sure that the /etc/hosts files have entries of all other servers, with name and IP address.
I'm think ORA-16607 and ORA-16662 might be caused by the first error.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards
