Data Services 4.0 Designer. Job Execution but empty log file no matter what

Hi all,
am running DS 4.0. When i execute my batch_job via designer, log window pops up but is blank. i.e. cannot see any trace messages.
doesn't matter if i select "Print all trace messages" in execution properties.
Jobserver is running on a seperate server. The only thing i have locally is just my designer.
if i log into the Data Services management console and select the job server, i can see trace and error logs from the job. So i guess what i need is for this stuff to show up in my designer?
Did i miss a step somewhere?
can't find anything in docs about this.
thanks

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

My home button isn't working well so i went to my service provider to ask about the problem. They advised me to update my iPhone to iOS 5 but the problem is no matter what i do, there is always an error. What should I do?

Cannot conect to Job server after redirecting log files

Platform: Windows
Software: Data Services 3.0 (Data Integrator 12.0.0)
Issue: When redirecting the Log files to go to another drive on the windows Server, we are unable to reconnect to the Job Server with Designer.
We did the following to re-direct the Log files:
In the DSConfig.txt file on the machine where the jobserver runs, they will find a section similar to the following:
[AL_JobServer]
AL_JobServerPath=C:\PROGRA1\BUSINE1\DATAIN~1.7\bin\al_jobserver.exe
AL_JobServerLoadBalanceDebug=FALSE
AL_JobServerLoadOSPolling=60
AL_JobServerSendNotificationTimeout=60
AL_JobServerLoadRBThreshold=10
AL_JobServerLoadAlwaysRoundRobin=FALSE
AL_JobServerAdditionalJobCommandLine=
ServiceDisplayName=Data Integrator Service
AL_JobServerName1=WestJS
AL_JobServerPort1=3500
AL_JobServerRepoPrefix1=
AL_JobServerLogDirectory1=
AL_JobServerBrokerPort1=
AL_JobServerAdapterManager1=
AL_JobServerEnableSNMP1=
AL_JobServerName2=EastJS
AL_JobServerPort2=3501
AL_JobServerRepoPrefix2=
AL_JobServerLogDirectory2=
AL_JobServerBrokerPort2=
AL_JobServerAdapterManager2=
AL_JobServerEnableSNMP2=
(As with any DSConfig.txt edits, I always tell customers to be very careful, to only follow instructions they receive from customer assurance, and to make backups of the prior file in case they need to revert.)
Note that there is a u201CWestu201D jobserver defined with the 1 suffix, and an u201CEastu201D jobserver defined with the 2 suffix. Both jobservers will by default log into %LINK_DIR%\log\ into a directory named after their jobserver name. If the customer wants to redirect the logs for the u201CWestu201D jobserver to a different path, add the following to this section:
AL_JobServerLogReDir1=D:\dierrorlogs\Log
Note the use of the suffix 1 u2013 it means that it will be a part of the settings for the u201CWestu201D jobserver. The u201CEastu201D jobserver will still log to %LINK_DIR%\log\EastJS while the u201CWestu201D jobserver will log to D:\dierrorlogs\Log.
All we did was add the one single line AL_JobServerLogReDir1="E:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\dierrorlogs\Log"
Can anyone give us some sort of suggestion or idea as to why we lost our connection to our Job Server with this change? We DID restart the service.
Thanks! Ken

I am not sure if this Parameter actually works ? I have to check that
can you see the JobServer process in the task manager ? check the windows event log for any errors for the JobServe
since you modified the path, I don't think it will be generating any log file for Job server
what's the status for the job server in Desginer and Management console ?

Job number from alert log file to information

Hello!
I have a question about job numbers in alert log file. Today one of our Oracle 10g R2 [10.2.0.4] RAC nodes crashed. After examining alert log file for one of the nodes I saw a lot of messages like:
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j002_28952.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627358*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j001_11018.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627357*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j000_9684.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627342*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
After examining trc files I have found no further information about error except session ids.
My question is: how to find what job caused these messages to appear in alert log file.
How do I map number in alert log file to some "real" information (owner, statement executed, schedule)?
Marx.

Sorry for the delay
Try this to find the job :
select job, what from dba_jobs ;
How do I find NLS_LANG version?SQL> show parameter NLS_LANG
Do you mean ALTER SESSION inside a job?I meant anywhere, but your question is better.
ORA-12705 - Common Reasons and How to Resolve Them [ID 158654.1]
If OS is Windows lookout for NLS_LANG=NA in the registry
Is it possible you are doing this somewhere ?
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'RRRR-MM-DD\"T\"HH24:MI:SS';NLS database settings are superseded by NLS instance settings
SELECT * from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS;
These are the settings used for the current SQL session.
NLS_LANG could be set in a profile for example.
NLS_LANG=_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 ( correct )
NLS_LANG=AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 ( Incorrect )
you need to set the "_" as separator.
Windows
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
Unix
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Hi,
once chk the status of the job by selecting that and check job status(cltr+shift_f12)
since it was periodically scheduled job there will be a RELEASED job after every active job..
so try to copy that into another job using copy option and give some new name which u have to remember...
the moment u copy u can find the same copied job in SCHEDULED status...
from here, try to run it again on hourly basis....
After copying the job u can unschedule the old released job to scheduled otherwise 2 will run at a time...

Data Services 4.0 - Batch Job - Export Execution Command - Error

Hi,
I'm new to Data Services and tried to get started with this "how to":
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowToUseBusinessObjectsDataServicesinSAPBIstagingprocess
Just that I used BW 7.0 instead of BI.
But I got stuck at the Export Execution Command. Everytime I klick "Export", I get a "java.lang.NullPointerException".
(I can execute the job manually from the Designer and it completes successfully.)
Any idea what I can do to export it successfully?
Or is there a workaround so that I'll be able to initiate the process from the BW system?
Thanks!

No Repository are associated with this user

Can any one tell me how to use the repository in my Data Servicies designer
Thanks

Edited by: Bapin Tripathy on Dec 15, 2011 6:58 AM

Hi Bapin,
I had the same problem - the solution was the creatiion of an additional local repository.
You also need to make sure to add the users as principals for the local repository.
Hope it works for you too

The package is developed in SSDT installed by SQL Server 2012, so it is a SSIS 2012 package. However, the Integration Services you have installed is SQL Server 2008 R2 version. To run the package outside SSDT, you need SSIS 2012 installed. The reason why
the package runs fine with only Source and Destination components is that such a simple package can be executed by the DTExec utility installed by SQL Server 2012 Data base Engine or Client Tools (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard). To run a package that
uses other tasks/components outside SSDT/BIDS, the SSIS runtime is also required except the DTExec utility. To obtain the SSIS 2012 runtime, we have to install SSIS 2012 on the server where the package runs.

Job console messages in log file

Hi All,
Is there a log file which logs the job console messages...where is it located ...we are on V11.1.2.,,....We have a issue with Job console validation......when a EPMA planning application is validated...it has some errors....but when we try to open the attachment to get more details...a new window opens and closes immediatly...
how can we check the error messages?

In IE try going to Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Downloads > File Downloads > enable
This should allow the text file to open when you try to open the attachment.
Cheers

SQL Server 2012 Reorg Index Job Blew up the Log File

We have a maintenance plan that nightly (1) runs dbcc checkdb on all databases, (2) reorgs indexes on all databases, compacting large objects, (3) updates statistics, etc. There are three user databases, one large, one medium, one small. Usually it uses
a little more than 80% of the medium database's log, set to 6,700 MB. Last night the reorg index step caused the log to increase to almost 14,000 MB and then blew up because the maximum file size was set to 14,000 MB, one of the alter index commands failed
because it ran out of log space. (Dbcc checkdb step ran successfully.) Anyone have any idea what might cause this? There is one update process on this database, it runs at 3 AM. The maintenance plan runs at 9 PM and completes by 1 AM. The medium database has
a 21,000 MB data file, reserved space is at about 10 GB. This is a SQL 2012 Standard SP 2 running on Windows 2012 Server Standard.

I personally like to shrink the log files once the indexes have been rebuilt and before switching back to full recovery, because as I'm going to take a full backup afterwards, having a small log file reduces the size of the backup.
Do you grow them afterwards, or do you let the application waste time on that during peak hours?
I have not checked, but I see no reason why the backup size would depend on the size of the log file - it's the data in the data file you back up, not the log file.
I would say this is highly dubious.

Yeah I let the application allegedly "waste" a few milisseconds a day autogrowing the log file. Common, how long do you think it takes for a log file to grow a few GB on most storage systems nowadays? As long as you set an appropriate autogrow
interval so your log file doesn't get too fragmented (full of VLFs), you'll be perfectly fine in most situations.
Lets say you have a logical disk dedicated to log file storage, but it is shared across multiple databases within the instance. Having allocated space for the log files means there will be not much free space left in the disk in case ANY database needs more
space than the others due to a peak in transactional workload, even though other databases have unused space that could have been used.
What if this same disk, for some reason, is also used to store the tempdb log file? Then all applications will become unstable.
These are the main reasons I don't recommend people blindly crucify keeping log files small when possible. I know there are many people who disagree and I'm aware of their reasons. Maybe we just had different experiences about this subject. Maybe people
just haven't been through the nightmare of having a corrupted system database or a crashed instance because of insuficient log space in the middle of the day.
And you are right about the size of the backup, I didn't put it correctly. It isn't the size of the backup that gets smaller (although the backup operation will run faster, having tested this myself), but the benefit from backing up a database with a small
log file is that you won't need the extra space to restore it in a different environment such as a BI or DEV server, where recuperability doesn't matter and the database will be on simple recovery mode.
Restoring the database will also be faster.
Just because there are clouds in the sky it doesn't mean it isn't blue. But someone will come and argue that in addition to clouds, birds, airplanes, pollution, sunsets, daltonism and nuclear bombs, all adding different colours to the sky, this
is an undocumented behavior and should not be relied upon.
