The concurrent manager first looks for the environment variable $APPLCSF 

If this is SET, it CREATES a path USING two other environment variables: 

$APPLLOG and $APPLOUT 

It places log files in $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG 

Output files go in $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT 

So for example, if you have this environment set: 

$APPLCSF = /u01/appl/common 
$APPLLOG = log 
$APPLOUT = out 

The concurrent manager will place log files in /u01/appl/common/log, and output files in /u01/appl/common/out 

Note that $APPLCSF must be a full, ABSOLUTE path, and the other two are directory names. 

If $APPLCSF is not set, it places the files under the PRODUCT top of the application associated with the request. So for example, a PO report would go under $PO_TOP/$APPLLOG and $PO_TOP/$APPLOUT 

Logfiles go to: /u01/appl/po/9.0/log 
Output files to: /u01/appl/po/9.0/out 

Of course, all these directories must exist and have the correct permissions.
