I've been using the spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle tool for a while.   
Lately I'm having a problem where the back end of spacewalk is failing and 
causing the tool to blow up with this error:

spacewalk-manage-channel-lifecycle -c oraclelinux6-x86_64 --promote 
--workflow=oracle --clear-channel ; date

I have tried poking at log files, but I haven't found where there seems to be 
an indication of a problem.   Can someone point me to a prioritized list of 
logs I should be looking at to find the nature of what's dying on the back end? 
 I suspect there is a java resource failure or some other error and would like 
to track it down and fix it rather than resort to manual/scripted channel by 
channel cloning( which might fail in the same way).
