Changing location of Transaction Log

Hi,
can any body confirm that changing the Transaction Log file at database level will not create problems in SAP system.
i want to change the TL file location any other option?

Hello,
there will be no problems when you move the file to a different location, as the filelocation is transparent for SAP. You should choose a own drive for the TL with a low RAID level (Level 1). On a SAN the drives should be write optimized for the TL.

Change location of APPLCSF log and out

Hi ,
We are on oracle version 11.2.0.2 and Apps version 11.5.2.0 running on Solaris Sparc 64 Bit.
We have a new mount point in the system and need to configure the APPLLOG and APPLOUT to that location.
Previously it was confiugured to another mount point which is now full.
How do i go about it ? Please suggest

Edited by: user10243788 on Apr 25, 2010 6:12 AMPointing the archive log dest (and/or the FRA) to a new location, or enlarging them, will do no good if you are not performing regular housekeeping on the archivelogs. You will just keep knocking down the same problem over and over.
If you simply delete the archivelogs at the OS level, the database will never know about it and it will continue to think the destination is full, based on records kept in the control file.
For regular housekeeping, you need to be doing something similar to this in rman:
run {
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times tag='bkup_vlnxora1_arch';
delete noprompt archivelog all backed up 1 times to device type disk;
run {
delete noprompt obsolete;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;

Is the transaction log is changed when i execute select statemetns

hello
i want to ask about updateing the transaction log: is it modified when a select statement is executed
is it changed when update,delete or insert statements are executed ?

In general SELECT statement don't write redo but if you use SELECT with FOR UPDATE clause, then redo is generated and written to redo logs or in special cases like delayed block cleanout. INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE write redo, yes.
Note that Oracle right name to use is redo log and not transaction log which a Sybase/MS SQL Server concept.

FMS - change directory where the log files are located?

I want to change the logs files directory from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5/logs
to:
D:\fmsLogs
Please halp me to understand...
in adobe in:
Home / Flash Media Server 3.5 Configuration and Administration Guide / XML configuration files reference
it says:
in Logger.xml in Directory
Specifies the directory where the log files are located.
By default, the log files are located in the logs directory in the server installation directory.
Example:
<Directory>${LOGGER.LOGDIR}</Directory>
what this meens: ${LOGGER.LOGDIR} ?
in order to change the logs files directory from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5/logs
to:
D:\fmsLogs
do i need to write this:
<Directory>D:\fmsLogs</Directory>
or what do i neet to write?
it is totaly not understandable from this example...
big thanks for any halp
cheinan

You can change LOGGER.LOGDIR in fms.ini to your preferred location i.e. D:\fmsLogs and restart FMS.
Now if you want to change for individual logs - you can change in Logger.xml - by default logger.xml will use value from fms.ini

Changes required in Essbase logs location:

Hello Masters,
I am trying to change Essbase log file location from default location to new location. this is our internal requriement.
Existing Log location:
../app/hyperion/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/diagnostics/logs
Desired New Log Location:
../app/essbase/logs
To do the change, We are modifying logging.xml file at ../app/essbase/EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/bin
In the logging.xml file, changed the path parameter value from old location to new location. But, still the log files are creating in the old location.
Please share me your experiences if anyone already did it and let me know do I need to do any specific steps after modification.
Thanks,
Ganesh.

Did you recycle the services after you made the change?
Thank you,

Update deactivated when DB2 transaction logs fill.

Hi All,
We are running SAP on DB2 Version9 on AIX platform.
We notirced that when transaction logs get full, the Update workprocess gets deactivated. This happens in any usage type that we have.. SRM, ECC , BI.
In the workprocess log we find this

I have never heard of Update being deactivated for transaction log full at DB level. Update can be held up butwill it get deactivated.
Is it possible that update gets deactivated if it not able to post the tranaction data in DB?
Please let me know your ideas on this and how we can prevent this update from deactivating.
Thanks and REgards,

Hi,
If you search for "SQL0964C The transaction log for the database is full" then some of solutions ask for to execute the below mentioned steps :-
Use the following procedure to increase the size of the DB2 transaction log (logfilsiz):
1. Determine the current log file size setting by issuing the command:
su - <db2instance>
db2 list db directory # to list the database name
db2 connect to <databaseName>
db2 get db config for <databaseName> and check LOGFILSIZ parameter.
A sample output given from my test system :-
Log file size (4KB) (LOGFILSIZ) = 16380
Number of primary log files (LOGPRIMARY) = 20
Number of secondary log files (LOGSECOND) = 40
Changed path to log files (NEWLOGPATH) =
Path to log files = /db2/<dataname>/log_dir/NODE0000/
Overflow log path (OVERFLOWLOGPATH) =
Mirror log path (MIRRORLOGPATH) =
First active log file =
Block log on disk full (BLK_LOG_DSK_FUL) = YES
Percent max primary log space by transaction (MAX_LOG) = 0
Num. of active log files for 1 active UOW(NUM_LOG_SPAN) = 0
2. Increase the size of the log file size setting by issuing the command:
db2 UPDATE db cfg for <databaseName> using LOGFILSIZ <new_value>
Example:
db2 UPDATE db cfg for <databaseName> using LOGFILSIZ 5000
3. Stop the ibmslapd process.
4. Issue the commands:
db2 force applications all
db2stop force
5. Restart ibmslapd process.
Once the db issue is resolved then your update work process must be running fine.

Transaction Logs - Retention Period

Hi,
Which parameter/bg job is responsible for maintaining the transaction log for <n> number of days?
Regards,
Cs

Hi Cs,
The data is you get from STAD is stored at the OS level file (location given by the parameter stat/file). This parameter points by default to the instance-specific /Data-directory (for example: \usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\data) however this can be changed depending on your choice.
For each hour a new stat file is written.
The parameter stat/maxfiles determines how many stat files will be written until the oldest is overwritten.
So depending on your requirement and available disk space size, you can increase these parameters.
Note - these parameters are instance specific. you have to maintain for each instance you may have.
Regards,
Debasis.

How does one read the Unity transaction logs on Exchange?

I'm trying to find out who placed a call to whom on a particular day and time. A subscriber receives a blank email periodically with no "from" statement, just a timestamp. They don't have unified messaging. I want to see if the transaction logs (located on Exchange) contain that information but they are all cryptic symbols. Is there an application or utility to read tham? These are the files located in the \Exchsrvr\MDBDATA folder. This is Unity 5.x and Excahnge 2003. Thanks.

Hi,
I think you may be wanting to look at Message Tracking?
http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange-2003-Message-Tracking-Logging.html
But here's also an explanation of the transaction logging and how to read them from the same site:

Transaction log full

Transaction log is full in production system ,when i was tried login into sap system it show the error message 'SNAP_NO_NEW_ENTRIES'.
our system is db2 and AIX ,can any body hlep us step by step procedure for reslove the issue .
For best answer will reward.
Thanks
Imran khan

you have to increase the sum of the logs in order to enlarge the database log...plz do not forget that the log must fit the underlying file system, eg. /db2/<SID>/dir_log..so you might have to increase this as well using SMITTY...
(DB6) [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/AIX64] SQL0964C The transaction log for the database is full. SQLSTATE=57011
[root] > su - db2<sid>
1> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logfilsiz
Log file size (4KB) (LOGFILSIZ) = 16380
2> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logprimary
Number of primary log files (LOGPRIMARY) = 20
3> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logsecond
Number of secondary log files (LOGSECOND) = 40
so we have log file of max. 16.380 * 4.096 * 60 = 4.025.548.800 bytes (about 4 gb)...this needs to be increased by increasing either LOGPRIMARY and/or LOGSECONDARY...(assuming that your logfile size is 16kb...query db2 for your size!)
4> db2 update db cfg for <SID> using logsecond 80 immediate
DB20000I The UPDATE DATABASE CONFIGURATION command completed successfully.
SQL1363W One or more of the parameters submitted for immediate modification
were not changed dynamically. For these configuration parameters, all
applications must disconnect from this database before the changes become
effective.
5> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logprimary
Number of primary log files (LOGPRIMARY) = 20
6> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logsecond
Number of secondary log files (LOGSECOND) = 80
7> db2stop
02/20/2007 09:17:12 0 0 SQL1064N DB2STOP processing was successful.
SQL1064N DB2STOP processing was successful.
8> db2start
02/20/2007 09:17:19 0 0 SQL1063N DB2START processing was successful.
SQL1063N DB2START processing was successful.
-> plz keep in mind that the sap system needs to be down when re-starting db2...
check via snapshot:
9> db2 get snapshot for database on <SID>
Log space available to the database (Bytes)= 2353114756 (= 2.353 MB)
Log space used by the database (Bytes) = 4329925244 (= 4.329 MB)
Maximum secondary log space used (Bytes) = 2993640963
Maximum total log space used (Bytes) = 4330248963
Secondary logs allocated currently = 46
Appl id holding the oldest transaction = 9
so now our log is about 6.5 gb ...see sapnote 25.351 for details...

The transaction log for database 'Test_db' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'

My dear All,
Came up with another issue:
App team is pushing the data from one Prod1 server 'test_1db' to another Prod2 server 'User_db' through a job, here while pushing the data after some duration job is failing and throwing the following error
'Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2.'The transaction log for database 'User_db' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'''.
On Prod2 server 'User_db' log is having enough space 400gb on drive and growth is 250mb. I really confused that why job is failing as there is lot of space available. Kindly guide me to troubleshoot the issue as this issue is occuring from more than
1 week. Kindly refer the screenshot for the same.
Environment: SQL Server 2012 with sp1 Ent-edition. and log backup duration is every 15 mints and there is no High availability between the servers.
Note: Changing to simple recovery model may resolve but App team is required to run in Full recovery model as they need of log backups.
Thanks in advance,
Nagesh
Nagesh

Dear V,
Thanks for the susggestions.
I have followed some steps to resolve the issue, as of now my jobs are working without issue.
Steps:
Generating log backup for every 5 minutes
Increased the growth 500mb to unrestricted.
Once whole job completed we are shrinking the log file.

Performance problem with transaction log

We are having some performance problem in SAP BW 3.5 system running on MS SQL server 2000.The box is sized 63,574 MB. The transaction logs gets filled up after loading data in to a transactional cube or after doing selective deletion. The size of the transaction log is 7,587MB currently.
Basis team feels that when performing either loading or selective deletion, SQL server views it as a single transaction and doesn't commit until every record is written. And so as a result, transaction logs fills up ultimately bringing the system down.
The system log shows a DBIF error during the transaction log fill up as follows:
Database error 9002 at COM
> [9002] the log file for database 'BWP' is full. Back up the
> Transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
Function COMMIT on connection R/3 failed
Perform rollback
Can we make changes to Database to make commit action frequently? Is there any parameters we could change to reduce the packet size? Is there some setting to be changed in SQL server?
Any Help will be appreciated.

if you have disk space avialable you can allocate more space to the transaction log.

The transaction log for database 'SharePoint_Config' is full

Hi all ,
I am very new to sharepoint. when i tried to remove a wsp file from central administration i got the message like
The transaction log for database 'SharePoint_Config' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot
be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases.
Can anybody help me to solve this please. I saw one solution in net like this but i don't know how to do this. Can anybody help me how to do these steps please.
1.
Take the configuration database offline and detach it
2.
Copy the current MDF to a new location (to be used as a way of recovering the database if needed)
3.
Put the database back on-line, reattach it and then put it within simple mode (from full), with an aim of this stopping the database from
increasing in size
4.
Shrink the database and recover log space
5.
Should the shrinking fail, we'd look at detaching the database, making a sideways copy of the log file to another database
6.
We would then reattach the database, which should generate a new log file
Thank you

Hi Soumya,
I don't have any dba resource. And it is not a lab environment. It's Corporate environment.
Thanks alot for ur quick reply.
I normally don't just come onto the threads and tell people that they need a consultant, but you might want to look at getting a consultant to help make sure that your SharePoint environment is health and can be restored in the event of a server failure.
Based on the problem that you have described it might not be recoverable, or at least it might not be as recoverable as you want it to be.
At the very least you'll want to watch this video of my session at TechEd 2014 which talks about backups and how to set them up.

What is stored in a transaction log file?

What does the transaction log file store? Is it the blocks of transactions to be executed, is it the snapshot of records before beginning the
execution of a transaction or is it just the statements found in a transaction block? Please advice.
mayooran99

yes, it will store all the values before and after that were modified. you,first, have to understand the need for transaction log, then, it will start to become apparent, what is stored in the transaction log
before the transaction can be committed, sql server will make sure that all the information is hardened on the transaction log,so if a crash happens, it can still recover\restore the data.
when you update some data - the data is feteched into memory and updated- transaction log makes note of it(before and after values etc).see, at this point, the changes were done but not physically present in the data page, they present only in the memory.
so, if crash happens(before a check piont\lazy writer could be issued), you will that data...this where transaction log comes handy, because all this information is stored in physical file of transaction log. so, when your server comes back on, if the transaction
is committed, the transaction log will roll forward this iinformation
when a checkpoint\lazy writer happens, in simple recovery, the transaction log for that txn is cleared out, if there are no other older active txns.
in full recovery you will take log backups, to clear that txn from the transaction log.
in transaction log data generally is faster because 1. it is written sequentialyl...it will track the data pageno, lsn and other details that were modified and makes a note of it.
similar to data cache, there is also transaction log cache, that makes this process faster.. all transactions before being committed, it will wait to make sure everything related to the txn is written to the transaction log on disk.
i advice you to pick up - kalen delaney, sql internals book and read - recovery an logging chapter..for more and better understanding...
Hope it Helps!!
