File system log files for SOA Gateway

Hi All,
I need to get log files for my integration repository/SOA Gateway since I'm not able to generate any WSDL or to deploy a web service. In the SOA trouble shoot document, it says:
Log on to Oracle E-Business Suite with the username that has the System Administrator responsibility access privilege.
Select the System Administrator responsibility from the Navigator and choose Oracle Applications Manager > Logs.
Click Log Setup to open the Java System Property Settings page.
Click the Site link and enable log for
Midtier Log File Name: Enter the file name that you would like on the middletier, for example, '/tmp/SOA /tmp/SOALog.log'.
Module=Enter an appropriate module name, for example, 'fnd.soa%'.
Ask your System Administrator to bounce oafm container.
Perform any SOA specific action, such as generate a WSDL file for an PL/SQL API.
Look for logs in the file specified in the Midtier Log File Name field.
My problem is, that my EBS installation is running on windows, so '/tmp/SOA /tmp/SOALog.log' will not work, right? I tried something like /temp/... or c:/temp/... or c:\temp\... but I did not get a logfile called SOALog.log.
What do I have to provide as path here?
Many thanks,
Konrad

Hi!
Did you encounter any error?Yes!
>
try givng C:\temp remember temp should have read and write permissions for the oracle applications o/s user(applmgr)Using c:\temp\test.log results in the following error while saving the log setting:
An error has occurred!
For input string: "10001:\temp\test.log"
I can use whatever string I want, but as long as a ":" is included, I get that error.
As for the user permissions. I installed the EBS using the standard Administrator account and this account is a member of Administrators and ora_dba.
Best,
Konrad

  • Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?

    Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
    Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

    Hi-
    The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
    Noted possibilities are:
    -Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
    -firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
    -Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
    Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
    Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
    If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
    External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
    I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
    Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected.

  • Mdworker saturating the system.log file

    Hi,
    i have a problem on my late 2010 MBA, running 10.6.8. Frequently, the fan goes frantic, and it appears it is linked to mdworker running over and over again. It seems to be doing that when the vpn from the company is running (Juniper through Secure App Manager).
    I checked the system.log file and it is 2.63Go for the past 5 days! Mostly filled with
    Jan  3 08:45:39 Puss mdworker[59604]: socket(PF_ROUTE) failed: Operation not permitted
    Jan  3 08:45:39 Puss sandboxd[59747]: mdworker(59604) deny system-socket
    Jan  3 08:45:39 Puss sandboxd[59747]: mdworker(59604) deny network-outbound /private/var/run/mDNSResponder
    (repeated 500 times and over, and eventually:
    Jan  3 08:45:39: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
    Jan  3 08:45:39 Puss mdworker[59604]: socket(PF_ROUTE) failed: Operation not permitted
    Jan  3 08:45:39 Puss sandboxd[59747]: mdworker(59604) deny system-socket
    Jan  3 08:45:39 Puss com.apple.launchd[1] (0x100101ea0.mach_init.mdworker[59604]): Exited with exit code: 1
    Can the vpn really have an influence on Spotlight? What is spotlight trying to index and why is it denied?
    Eventually, i may be dreaming, but it seems that something is chewing up my SSD space. Without adding much files, it feels like free space is going down.
    Thanks for any help.

    I solved the problem by adding the hidden '/private' directory on the harddisk to the places that spotlight is forbidden to index (in the systems preference pane -> Spotlight ->Privacy)
    You have drag the '/private' folder into the locations box.
    You may have to install something like 'secrets' to show hidden folders in the finder.
    (see here: https://code.google.com/p/blacktree-secrets/wiki/Help )
    ignore everything above - same error messages came back

  • System.log file

    I need to find the system.log file, but cannot. Where is it?
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers,
    Jurgen

    To see the log's contents, open the Console in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and click on the Logs button; one of the entries will be the system.log.
    To see the log itself, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /private/var/log/ as the folder's path, and locate the system.log file when that folder appears.

  • Silverlight fills up system.log file

    In order to watch the NBC Olympics, I had to install Silverlight. I had hesitation and now know why. While the player seems to play just fine and all, it is kicking massive error messages to the system.log file. It fills many megabytes and therefore the daily syslog rotation runs bzip2 for a long time each night.
    Here is a sampling from my system.log file, using Safari 4.0.4 on OS-X 10.6.2.

    The problem with just deleting the file, is two fold.
    First, the system needs this file to continue to post system messages. If you delete it, or just trash it, the system will just continue to add to the trashed file using the open file pointers, or simply create a new one.
    Second, Silverlight will continue to generate messages, and ultimately still go into the system.log. Deleting the file is not such a good idea while the operating system is still using it.
    I recommend doing the following to clear the file without deleting it:
    You'll need to Enable the root user on your computer if you haven't yet. Search other threads for how to do this on your version of OS-X.
    In Terminal, log in as root.
    username$ sudo -i
    Change to the /var/log folder.
    root# cd /var/log
    Use the truncate function to simply zero out the file.
    root# >system.log
    You'll need to do this everyday, after running Silverlight, hopefully BEFORE the daily log rotating cron scripts try to rotate the logs and perform a bzip compression of the file (which will tax your system for a few hours). You may want to find any log files ending in .bz2 and remove those. You can delete those, as they are just archives of old system log files and are not used any more.

  • System.log file super bloat!

    Tonight my hard disk suddenly started filling rapidly on it's own and I traced the problem down to an amazingly fast growing system.log file. It appeared to be corrupt because the Console app didn't see it when I tried to read it there to see what was filling it. It got up to 6GB!
    I pulled the file out of there and things seem okay (I still have it in visible form on another drive). Is is at problem that now my OS X drive has no system.log file? Will it create one on it's own eventually? Is there some way for me to replace it?
    Any ideas why it would have done that?
    Thanks for any education!

    Hi Tenfresh, you don't list your system specs so it's hard to tell but this may have been your issue:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300893
    Yes, the system.log will recreate, if it hasn't done so already.

  • System Logs & File Tags - logic board replacement

    Hi,
    I do have some queries for the logic board replacement on macbook pro running Yosemite:
    If logic board is replaced -
    1) Does the system log files available in console [Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Console] gets deleted or they will still be showing up from the date prior to the replacement of the logic board?
    2) If I've created file tags before LB replacement, will they still show up after the replacement?
    Any insight into the above will be of immense help.
    Thanks.

    It would need to be done by Apple Service. They should have the equipment to do this. Your serial number can be found under the battery and on you box your MacBook came in.

  • When upgrading from 10.7 to 10.8.2, are the system.log files backed up anywhere?

    One of my clients needs to confirm whether a USB device was plugged into their computer between two dates in September 2012 because they're worried some sensitive data may have been stolen.  However, their computers were upgraded from 10.7 to 10.8.2 on the 29th of November 2012, and since the kernel.log and system.log files have now been combined in this update, it has obviously created a new file in the new format.  Sadly, this has only come to light now, and there appear to be no backups of the whole drive from before this date.
    Does anyone know if the 10.7 logfiles would have been preserved anywhere during the upgrade, or are they lost for good?

    No, the merging operation deletes the old files during upgrading the OS X.  Have you tried searching even hidden files starting at the root level so see if anything has been hidden away somewhere?  I haven't seen the upgrade do that but if this is really important it may be worth the effort.

  • Huge system.log file filled with over a million messages about NSATSTypeset

    Hi,
    I just happened to notice the system.log file on my MacBook Pro laptop was absolutely huge - over 1.2 GBytes in just one day. Almost all of it is messages like this:
    Mar 31 12:26:23 macbook quicklookd[228]: <NSATSTypesetter: 0x146b40>: Exception * table 0x1473caa0 has block 0x147b3040 rather than 0x147b4850 at index 7573 raised during typesetting layout manager <NSLayoutManager: 0x124140>\n 1 containers, text backing has 16461 characters\n selected character range {16461, 0} affinity: downstream granularity: character\n marked character range {16461, 0}\n Currentl

Ignoring...
    and there are over 1.3 million of these messages!!!! There is a tiny bit of variation in some of the numbers (but not all). That is just a little bit more than the total number of files I have on the hard drive in the laptop, so it would appear that the quicklookd is doing something to each and every file on the computer. Any idea why all of a sudden these messages appear and why so many. I only have about 7 versions of the system.log files and none of them are even close to this big, but the one one thing I did do today that I have not in a few weeks is reboot my laptop because of another problem with the laptop screen not waking this morning from being put to sleep last night (was just black but computer was running and could login to it from another computer in the LAN it is attached).
    Any ideas why this is happening, or is this something that always happens on a reboot/boot rather than waking from sleep. Why would the quicklookd be printing out so many of these messages that are almost exactly alike???
    I have only had this MacBook for a few weeks, so don't have a good feel for what is normal and what isn't yet.
    THanks...
    -Bob

    Bob,
    Thanks for your further thoughts and the additional information. My guess is that Quick Look does its file processing independently of whether or not or how recently the computer has been rebooted. The NSATSTypesetter messages filling up the log file are almost certainly error messages and should not occur with normal operation of Quick Look. I suspect that your reboot doesn't directly have anything to do with this problem. (It might have indirectly contributed in the sense that either whatever caused the need for the reboot or the reboot process itself corrupted a file, which in turn caused Quick Look to fail and generate all those error messages in the log file.)
    In the meantime I may have a solution for this problem. This morning I rebooted in single user mode and ran AppleJack in manual mode so that I could tell it to clean up all user cache files. (I'd previously downloaded AppleJack application from http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ . To boot in single user mode hold command and s keys at startup chime. ... Run the five AppleJack maintenance tasks in order. The third task will give you the option to enter numbers of users whose cache files will be cleaned. Do this cache cleaning for all users.) In the six hours since I ran AppleJack I've seen exactly two NSATSTypesetter error messages in /var/log/system.log . This compares with hundreds of thousands in the same period yesterday. I just set an iCal alarm to remind me to report back to this discussion thread in two weeks on this issue.
    Best,
    Chris.
    PS: Above you mention 7 log files. Are the older ones of the form system.log.0.bz2 ? If so they have been compressed. Just because they are small doesn't necessarily mean there are not a lot of nearly identical error messages. Uncompress to check. I haven't tried this because large files are very inconvenient to work with on my old iBook.

  • System.log file are large, and cause a kernel panic when deleting

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to solve a dillema.  I discovered that over 60GB of my 120GB SSD drive are taken up by system.log files.  All 3 are around 20GB.  I left my laptop running so none of them are the current one.  They are system.log.0, system.log.3 and system.log.4.  I have tried several ways to delete them:
    Using Disksweeper
    At a terminal prompt using sudo rm
    At a terminal prompt using sudo su - (to get root access) and then rm -f ....
    Rebooting the system in single user mode, mounting the drive and then attempting to delete them
    Each time I do, the system reboots with a kernel panic.  I have not looked at the panic log yet, but can post that if you need to.
    I did look at the end of the current log file to discover there were some issues with programs, and I have fixed it so that these size log files "shouldn't" be generated anymore.
    Looking for advice as to how to delete these files!  This is driving me nuts.  It shouldn't be this hard.
    Thanks for any help or insight you can give.

    OK, I actually was able to solve this myself.  My problem was that ther kernel panic was caused by the journaling.  So here is what I had to do:
    I temporarily disabled journaling, see here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=373067
    Then I was able to delete the files by starting a terminal session and using sudo rm to delete the files.
    Re-enabled journaling (I don't know if it is needed, but it was on before).
    Hope this can help someone else in the future.

  • Format Error : mkfs.ocfs2 1.2.7 file system too small for a journal

    Hi All,
    I am trying to implement Oracle 10g RAC on my laptop using vmware and openfiler software . But while executing the command
    #mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 32K -N 4 -L oracrsfiles /dev/iscsi/crs11/part1
    I am getting the error
    Format Error : mkfs.ocfs2 1.2.7 file system too small for a journal
    Please anybody can help me to resolve this problem.
    Thanks in Advance.

    How large is the device that you are formatting?
    The default journal size depends on the type specified. If none specified,
    then it assumes "mail" which sets the default journal per slot to 256M.
    If database type, default is 64M.
    Use "-T database" to specify database type, etc.
    BTW, one can always override the defaults. Say "-J size=16M" to make
    a smaller journal.
    man mkfs.ocfs2 and the user's guide has more.

  • Unix shell: Environment variable works for file system but not for ASM path

    We would like to switch from file system to ASM for data files of Oracle tablespaces. For the path of the data files, we have so far used environment variables, e.g.,
    CREATE TABLESPACE BMA DATAFILE '${ORACLE_DB_DATA}/bma.dbf' SIZE 2M AUTOEXTEND ON;
    This works just fine (from shell scripts, PL/SQL packages, etc.) if ORACLE_DB_DATA denotes a file system path, such as "/home/oracle", but doesn’t work if the environment variable denotes an ASM path like "\+DATA/rac/datafile". I assume that it has something to do with "+" being a special character in the shell. However, escaping "\+" didn’t work. I tried with both bash and ksh.
    Oracle managed files (e.g., set DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST to +DATA/rac/datafile) would be an option. However, this would require changing quite a few scripts and programs. Therefore, I am looking for a solution with the environment variable. Any suggestions?
    The example below is on a RAC Attack system (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/RAC_Attack_-OracleCluster_Database_at_Home). I get the same issues on Solaris/AIX/HP-UX on 11.2.0.3 also.
    Thanks,

    My revised understanding is that it is not a shell issue with replacing +, but an Oracle problem. It appears that Oracle first checks whether the path starts with a "+" or not. If it does not (file system), it performs the normal environment variable resolution. If it does start with a "+" (ASM case), Oracle does not perform environment variable resolution. Escaping, such as "\+" instead of "+" doesn't work either.
    To be more specific regarding my use case: I need the substitution to work from SQL*Plus scripts started with @script, PL/SQL packages with execute immediate, and optionally entered interactively in SQL*Plus.
    Thanks,
    Martin

  • System Center 2012 R2 install: SQL server Data file and log file

    This might be a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.  
    I'm installing a new instance of  System Center 2012 R2 on a new server, I'm stuck on the SQL Server data file section.  Everytime I put in a path, it says that tne path does not exist.  I'm I supposed to be creating some sort of SQL Server
    data file and log file before this installation, I didn't get this prompt when installing System Center 2012 SP1 or hen I upgraded from System Center 2012 SP1 to System Center 2012 R2
    My SQL is on a different server
    Thank you in advanced

    Have you reviewed the setup.log?
    On a side note, why would you put the database file on the same drive as the OS? That defeats the whole purpose of having a remote SQL Server. Why use a remote SQL Server in the first place.

  • Convert Raw Device to file system based file systems for datafiles [HP-UX]

    Hello experts,
    Once again in seek of guidance..
    I am in the process of migrating my database (Oracle 7.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20 to Oracle 8.1.7 64-bits on HP-UX 11).
    Amongst one of our steps is to convert our RAW Device datafiles to File System based files within the same server and version - Oracle 7.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20.
    E.g. /dev/vg00/rlvol1 to become /d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf
    Is this something possible?
    Can i just do the following:
    a. Shutdown database (normal)
    b. dd if=/dev/vg00/rlvol1 of=/d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf bs=20k
    c. chown oracle7:dba /d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf
    d. svrmgrl> startup mount
    e. alter database rename file '/dev/vg00/rlvol1' to '/d01/oradata/cmtdb/tbs1.dbf'
