Viewing Voice Browser Logs
Each Voice Browser log begins with the prefix VB_, ends with the file extension .ems, and includes the 
date and time the log was created. The log file name syntax is:
VB_YYMMDD_HHMMSS.ems
For example, the following is the name for a log file is for the Voice Browser process created on February 
8, 2005 at 9:48:39 A.M. 
VB_050208_094839.ems
Note
The timestamp on a log file is in 24-hour format. For example, 3:00 P.M. is indicated as 15:00; 9:00 A.M 
is indicated as 09:00.
You view the Voice Browser log files by using the dumplog.exe utility. The dumplog.exe command reads 
the file, formats the event data, and writes the formatted data to the workstation screen. 
Note
You can also redirect output to a file. For a complete list of dumplog utility features and options, see the 
Cisco ICM Software Administrator Guide.
