Can I create a process creation log?

While trying to help a colleague resolve some odd MacBook Pro behavior, I noticed that his system, within about 15 minutes of a restart, has PIDs in the 25000 range. I know how to use the process top to show active processes, the ~1 second update interval seems too coarse. I want to know what all those transient processes were so I can figure out what program is causing this. Although I don't own an Intel machine, I assume that creating and removing this many processes is not an essential part of the normal Intel-based Mac startup. This guy has several third party "utility" apps on his machine, and I suspect it might be one of those.
So, is there a way to capture a list of all processes as they're created (either in a log file or simply as a Terminal command output, so I can examine what's happening? I'd love to catch things as early in the system startup as possible, but I have no interest in messing around with the standard system startup, so I don't mind missing the first hundred or so. I probably even have time to type in a command or two in Terminal.
Sorry if this is already posted. I searched a few different ways but couldn't find what I need.
Thanks!

Thanks, Barney-15E, I'll check that. However, if it's an intentional creation / exiting cycle (perhaps sloppy code, for example), I'd still like to ensure I can find it. Any thoughts on how to make a durable PID list, rather than top's approach? I know I can us ps, but that is only a snapshot at that instant in time. -W

Can't create repository - zero byte log file?

Hello all,
I'm getting the 'CDR-21244 : This process has been aborted' message when creating the repository in a 10g database using Designer 10g ( 9.0.4.5). I get identical results with Designer 9i (9.0.2.7). I've checked the installation log file, according to the documentation, and it contains zero bytes. The IMP.EXE window doesn't say anything unusual, it simply reports a couple of possible character conversions and then terminates before doing anything.
None of the suggested solutions to this error from the Repository Installation Guide seem to apply to me:
* I have all the proper permissions and settings according to the 'check requirements' dialog
* I don't have anything in my log file
* The IMP.EXE utility is installed
* TNSNAMES.ORA seems fine since I can connect to this database using TOAD
Has anyone else seen this?
I'm using Windows XP, by the way.
Thanks.

Hi,
Can you please give us the following information :
1. Both Designer 9.0.4.5 and 10g Database are installed in same machine or different machines.
2. Version of Export/Import utilities used by Designer
3. Value in the registry variable 'REPOS61'
Steps to get the registry value
a. Invoke and connect to 'Repository Administration Utility'.
b. Invoke 'Check Requirements' utility.
c. Expand 'Parameter Settings' node and '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\REPOS61\]' node.
d. Note the values for 'EXECUTE_EXPORT', 'EXECUTE_IMPORT', 'EXECUTE_PLUS_RAU' variables.
4. Version of Database.
Regards,
Wilson.

How can I create my own error log in sql

I would like to create an error log table in sql where every time there is an error in sql and every time a stored procedure rolls back it should submit an entry into the error table to show where and what the error was.
Thank you
Debra has a question

I think SQL Server does a fairly good job of creating, writing to, and reading from it's own built-in error log. please see this link for details.

Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Can I create a process in 6.0 and recompile it to 4.0 for my customer?

I have customer that has Lookout 4.0 and I have 6.0 integrator. What problems will I encounter if I develope on 6.0 and recompile it on his program? Have there been new objects added which do not exist in 4.0? It is difficult for me to program at my customers site, so I need to be able to develope it offsite.

Hi Butler,
There have been new Objects and Data Members added since Lookout4.0 and hence highly doubt if you will be able to get it to work. Surest way to know is to try it!
Good luck,
Prashanth.

How Can I record the user's logging time?

How Can I record the user's login time?I create a table containing some column such as record_id,username,start_time,end_time,period.How can I create a process on logging in to record the start_time and a process on logging out to record the end_time?
Thanks for any help.

you can refer to the name of the currently logged in user using :APP_USER. to capture the login info, i'd add an htmldb process to my app that fired "After Authentication" and simply inserted :APP_USER and sysdate into my logging table. for the logout case, you could change the "Logout URL" of your current authentication scheme to one that does whatever it's currently doing plus the logging. so i Logout URL of...
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout?p_this_flow=&APP_ID.&p_next_flow_page_sess=&APP_ID.:101:&APP_SESSION.
...and i changed it to something like...
my_schema_name.my_logout?p_user=&APP_USER.&p_app=&APP_ID.&p_session=&APP_SESSION.
...where my_logout was...
create or replace procedure my_logout(
p_user in varchar2,
p_app in varchar2,
p_session in varchar2) as
begin
insert into my_logging_table values (sysdate, 'logged out as '||p_user);
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout (
p_this_flow => p_app ,
p_next_flow_page_sess => p_app||':101');
end;
...and things worked fine.
hope this helps,

Errror in Alert.log - ksvcreate: Process() creation failed

The below error message repeats in alert.log everyday:
ksvcreate: Process() creation failed
The trace file for MMON is getting update whenever this error is reported in the alert.log. Below is the error message from the trace file:
Unable to schedule a MMON slave at: Auto Flush Main 1
Attempt to create slave process failed.
Can happen for several reasons:
- No process state objects
- Reached OS set limits
- A shutdown was going on
Check alert log for more details.
***KELR Apply Log: unable to schedule MMON Slave, error 3
I have checked the process utilisation of the database and the utilisation is well below the max. Checked on OS limits and that also is set to a high value.
Is there anyone who have received similar error message and got a resolution handy.

- restart database

BPM Process Creation: Can't find bundle oracle.bpm.fusion.soa.msg

Hi
I cant create a BPM process in my Jdeveloper .4, .5 or .6. I have updated all them with the BPM extension. While creating a BPM application, the technologies being included in the application, i.e. BPM and SOA are correct. However, on the next page, I can't see any templates. Even if I click finish at that page, only a simple SOA project (not a BPM one, since the BPM Project Navigator tab is absent) gets created with an error log:

Guessing you might hear from Oracle that the URL reference in your thread below is pointed to an the old version and that the classes are no longer supported.
As you know, this is not the case - the URL you have in your thread for the API is the latest for 11.1.1.6. Both classes you mention should be supported (at least according to the Javadoc) and in a recent search I was not able to find them either.
Might be worth a call to Oracle Support to either straighten out the Javadoc or get you a patch.

Can't Cancel the Process Of Media Recovery Creation and Start A New One

help me cancel the process of media recovery creation and start it all over again because i found that i need four disks to make the recovery creation. i made the first disk but i need to get another three disks for the process to be completed. It says that "media recovery creation has not been completed", so i want to cancel the whole opeation and start from the beginning later when i am ready for it. How can i do that, any steps or instructions to solve this issue would be appreciated.
Computer: HP Pavilion dv6-6120se
OS: Windows 7 home premium x64
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You can only create one set of recovery discs. So once the process is completed, you will not be able to create another.

Can't update master table when creating a materialized view log.

Hi all,
I am facing a very strange issue when trying to update a table on which I have created a materialized view log (to enable downstream fast refresh of MV's). The database I am working on is 10.2.0.4. Here is my issue:
1. I can successfully update (via merge) a dimension table, call it TABLEA, with 100k updates. However when I create a materialized view log on TABLEA the merge statement hangs (I killed the query after leaving it to run for 8 hrs!). TABLEA has 11m records and has a number of indexes (bitmaps and btree) and constraints on it.
2. I then create a copy of TABLEA, call it TABLEB and re-created all the indexes and constraints that exist on TABLEA. I created a materialzied view log on TABLEB and ran the same update....the merge completed in under 5min!
The only difference between TABLEA and TABLEB is that the dimension TABLEA is referenced by a number of FACT tables (by FKs on the FACTS) however this surely should not cause a problem. I don't understand why the merge on TABLEA is not completing...even though it works fine on its copy TABLEB? I have tried rebuilding the indexes on TABLEA but this did not work.
Any help or ideas on this would be most appreciated.
Kind Regards

Thats what I thought, the MVL will only read data that has changed since it was created and wont have the option to load in all the data as though it was made before the table was created.
From what I have read, the MVL is quicker than a Trigger and I have some free code that prooved to work from a MVL using it as a reference to know what records to update. There is not that much to a MVL, a record ID and type of update, New, Update or Delete.
I think what I will have to do is work on a the same principle for the MVL but use a Trigger as this way we can do a full reload if required at any point.
Many thanks for your help.

It's your content, under your control.
If you output as an .ibooks file, and you want to sell it, the store is the only outlet, otherwise, you can do as you wish.
