CR2008 Cannot report on IIS Log file data source

I have CR2008 (SP0) and CRXIR2 installed on a Vista desktop. I can create reports against IIS Log files using XIR2. When I attempt to make the data connection using CR2008, I go through the same dialog to select log files and dates but at the end it displays "no items found" and I have no table connection that I can add to the report.
My primary source is IIS 6 log files on a server using a mapped drive. I have also tried the same using local IIS 7 on the same Vista pc that Crystal is installed on and neither work using CR2008; both work fine from CRXIR2.
I also opened from CR2008 an IIS log report created in CRXIR2 and oddly the report runs from 2008 but I cannot modify the data connection as I again just receive "no items found" if I attempt to establish another connection.
I've tried a re-install and I've confirmed in Crystal setup that I have installed Web Activity Logs as Data source.

Hi there,
Try the following:
1. Connect to directory of where your IIS server that contains the log file. It should be in C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1
(Or alternatively, I should suggest copying one of these files over locally to your workstation to test. The file should be in the format of ex*.log)
2. Open up CR2008, and do a "Create New Connection"
3. Then choose "More Data Sources" -> "MS IIS/Proxy Log Files"
4. Point to where your logfile is, whether locally or remotely on the server.
5. A "Select Log Files and Dates" window should appear
6. Under "Enter Log File Format and Location" panel (at the top), choose "Extend (ex*.log)" format
7. Browse to the file that you would to report off.

How do you turn off the log file?

How can I turn off the log file for WLS? Don't want the added overhead
of logging during performance tests.
Edwin

The only way I know is:
# startWebLogic.sh > /dev/null &
Only if you are running on unix.

Crystal Report Server Database Log File Growth Out Of Control?

We are hosting Crystal Report Server 11.5 on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise. Our Crystal Report Server SQL 2005 database file size = 6,272 KB, and the log file that goes with the database has a size = 23,839,552.
I have been reviewing the Application Logs and this log file size is auto-increasing about 3-times a week.
We backup the database each night, and run maintenance routines to Check Database Integrity, re-organize index, rebuild index, update statistics, and backup the database.
Is it "Normal" to have such a large LOG file compared to the DATABASE file?
Can you tell me if there is a recommended way to SHRINK the log file?
Some Technical Documents suggest frist truncating the log, and the using the DBCC SHRINKFILE command:
USE CRS
GO
--Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE
ALTER DATABASE CRS
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
--Shrink the truncated log file to 1 gigabyte
DBCC SHRINKFILE (CRS_log, 1000);
GO
--Reset the database recovery model.
ALTER DATABASE CRS
SET RECOVERY FULL;
GO
Do you think this approach would help?
Do you think this approach would cause any problems?

my bad you didn't put the K on the 2nd number.
Looking at my SQL server that's crazy big my logs are in the k's like 4-8.
I think someone enabled some type of debugging on your SQL server, it's more of a Microsoft issue, as our product doesn't require it from looking at my SQL DB's

Errors reported in alert log file regarding redo log files

Hi,
In my database i see the following entries regarding the redo log files frequently.
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 88
Current log# 3 seq# 88 mem# 0: D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\PELICAN\REDO03.LOG
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 89
Current log# 1 seq# 89 mem# 0: D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\PELICAN\REDO01.LOG
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 90
Checkpoint not complete
I have 3 redo log files of 50MB each. My database is 10g.
What is the reason?
What do i need to do ?
Thanks.

Hi,
It is clearly stated that checkpoint is not complete. Thats why it could not allocate new sequence number to group 1.
We can understand that your redo log group size is insufficient. or increase the number of redo log groups.
Just test adding one more redo log group or test by increasing the size of redo log groups.

Reporting off an XML file

Hello,
I'm currently trying to pull data from an XML file that is generated from sql 2005. When trying to load it into crystal reports XI it asks me for a schema file. So I used sql 2005 to create a schema file for the XML code.
So now when I try to connect to the XML file in crystal reports instead of getting a login error or schema invalid it just says "Failed to retrieve data from the database".
I'm not sure where to go from here. As far as I know the XML file is correct and the Schema is correct.
Thanks,
Roy Payne

The document mentioned was helpful in the sense of informing me about how crystal views XML. However the problem I was experiencing was not being discovered by the xml validation tool that is mentioned in the document.
The issue ended up being a link that was included in my xml document that was not valid. After removing the invalid link crystal XI was able to see the fields and tables in the xml file.
Thanks for the document it did give me access to a nice validation method that I did not have.

With Crystal 13, can you report off of *.accdb files?

I don't know if this is an ODBC issue or a Crystal issue, but I use Crystal 12 and am unable to see tables in *.accdb files. Does Crystal 13 connect OK?

Hi Jordan,
Yes but due to limitations of Microsoft's JET engine you need to make an ODBC connection or OLE DB to connection to it.
You can use the JET but if you plan to go to 64 bit or publish to BI 4.x Enterprise you'll need the 64 bit MS Office suit installed to get the 64 bit drivers.
Easier to use ODBC or OLE DB.

Server Log file location

Is there a default location for the Crystal Reports Server XI log file ? I needed to see it and am not finding it anywhere in the installation directory.

should be drive:install folder\businessobjectsenterprise11\logging
by default c:\program files\business objects\business objects enterprise 11\logging
the path will be different for XIR2 and XI 3.0 replace 11 with 11.5 and 12.

Tim

LMS v4.0 Log Files

Attached is the output from Reports> System> Status> Log File.
As you can see I have a number of log files showing their size in RED.
How do I automate getting these smaller?
I have looked at Log Rotation, but none of the files listed in the attached appear in that section.
Is it a case of manaully stopping the Daemon, renaming the log files and then restarting the daemon, or is there a way of automating this housekeeping task?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Afroj,
Attached is all the files shown in Log Rotation, none of the ones in RED in my original post appear here.
Can I just add them then, and does the following indicate that I already have the job scheduled in which case at 6pm tonight it should then pick up the new ones I add?
C:\Program Files (x86)\CSCOpx\bin>C:\Windows\System32\at.exe
Status ID   Day                     Time          Command Line

        2   Each M T W Th F S Su    4:30 PM       C:\PROGRA~2\CSCOpx\conf\backupsch.bat

Database slow; Log file sync shown in AWR

Our database becomes slow occasionally and when i looked at AWR report it shows 'log file sync' quite often. Any idea why this is happening?

Garry,
1. Please get the SA to check the I/O Subsystem for any I/O queues
2. Check redo log switching sequence in alert log during the time of this slowness and see if there is anything unusual.
3. Generate ADDM report and see if it has any redo related recommendations
4. Do you have any batch jobs running during this slowness? Check if there are any unwanted frequent commits (like COMMITs within a loop) is happening

Apache2 log file names

I'm running Mac OS X Server 10.6.4, and have 3 web sites that all resolve to the same IP number. All is working just fine except for naming the log files. I'd like to have separate files for each virtual site; that is, traffic to example1.com should go to /var/log/apache2/example1_access)log, traffic to example2.com should go to /var/log/apache2/example2accesslog, etc. I set this up in server admin, but the names of the actual log files are something like example1accesslog.1287014400 and example2accesslog.1286409600.
This causes problems in having my web usage program finding the correct file. Can anyone point me to relevant documentation on how to solve this problem?

The timestamps on the files are related to the fact you have log file rotation turned on.
As for how to solve it that depends a lot on the analytics program you're using, which you omit to mention.
You could turn off the log file rotation, but then you'd have issues with ever-growing log files
You could rename the logs files yourself
You could teach the analytics program to understand your log file names (this is the approach I'd take - rotating logs is VERY common and I can't think there's an analytics that doesn't handle it)

Agent log files

Just installing version 2, deployed the server and 3 agents. Only 1 agent is reporting to the server. I have enabled debug on the agent and reset the service, but where are the logs located ?
All agents are SLES 10 x86, no firewall blocks.
I've increased logging to verbose, and reset the service but on the SLES boxes I can't see anything posted to /var/logs or /var/opt/novell/logs
Documentation doesn't seem to cover log files, I followed a default install as per docs.

Steve,
Two things. First, the File Reporter agent's log files are stored in
/var/opt/novell/filereporter/agent/log.
Second, did this server previously have any NFR 1.0.x components
installed? Not just the Agent, but potentially the Engine or DSI as well?
