GUI log reader and syslog configurator
I'm a bit new to this, but can anyone suggest or recommend a GUI syslog log reader and also does anyone know if there is a GUI syslog configurator? It would be great to just have a GUI application that I can configure my syslog.conf file
for a gui log reader. see the Console.app under Applications/Utilites folder.
it will read several log files that are on the system.

How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?
I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
Thanks in advance - JebahThanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
any other way to disable the jobs?
Steps I followed
Started with a Working publication and subscription
Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
Observations/Issues
Replication does not work
Replication monitor does not show any error
Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
Thanks in advance -
One of our SQL Server started creating SQLDUMP file and and on investigation I found the error longs are filled with Errors 3624 & 17066. There is transnational replication configured on one of the databases is the LogReader Agent is failing error "The
process could not execute 'sp_repldone/sp_replcounters' on XXXXX".
Not sure if both these Assertion & Logreader Agent errors are related. Before I remove and put the replication, I wanted to check if anyone has experienced the same issues or aware of what the cause.

Thank you in advance.You need to determine if this error is a transient one or a show stopper one.
It sounds like your log reader agent has crashed and can't continue.
If so your best bet is to call Microsoft CSS and open a support incident.
It also sounds like DBCC CHECKDB was running while the log reader agent crashed.
If you need to get up and running again run sp_replrestart, but then you might find that replicated commands are not picked up. You will need to run a validation to determine if you need to reinitialize the entire publication or a single article.
I have run into errors like this, but they tend to be transient, ie the log reader agent crashes, and on restart it works fine.

Hello!
I want to write 1 digital port from PXI-6536 with streaming to TDMS file.
I'm writing by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi' and become TDMS file with 8 boolean channels.
How can I write to 1integer channel?

1.JPG 27 KBHey Atrina,
The actual data stored on disk is just the raw data (that is, a byte per sample in your case). It's really just a matter of how that data is being represented in LabVIEW whenever you read back the TDMS file.
I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but here is a way to accomplish what you're wanting:
Read back the TDMS file as a digital waveform. Then there's a conversion function in LabVIEW called DWDT Digital to Binary. This function will convert that set of digital channels into the "port format" that you're wanting. I've attached an example of what I mean.
Note: When looking at this VI, there are a few things that the downgrade process did to the VI that I would not recommend for these TDMS files. It added a 1.0 constant on the TDMS Open function, and it set "disable buffering" on the TDMS Open function to false; you can get rid of both of those constants.

Log Reader Agent and Snapshot Agent wont start
Hi There,
I've two SQL 2012 servers with multiple instances installed.
I've started replicating the databases in these instances using transactional replication and thus far they've worked without a hitch.
One of my instances, annoyingly, has an issue where the Log Reader Agent and Snapshot Agent refuse to start, and I've followed exactly the same process as with the other instances\databases.
The Agents are configured to make use of a domain user account with sysadmin permissions to the instances on both servers.
I get the following two error when I View Log Reader Agent Status:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 2 (Run agent.).
I've asked the agent to run as my DOMAIN\sqlservice account, so I've no idea why it's moaning about sa?!!?
I get the following error when I View Snapshot Agent Status:
The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Di
If I try to start either agent I'm told that the request to run job was refused because the job has been suspended, "Changed database context"?? Error 22022.
Can anyone help?This is because your job owner is sa. Right click on your job and notice the owner - but is should be sa.
You likely have another issue. You may need to run the job and configure it for logging to see what the error is.

How to configure IPS 4240 - K9 to send log file to syslog server
I am looking for the commands in how to configure IPS 4240-k9 to send log file to SYSLOG server. If anybody has or came across similer issue please advice.
Thanks in advanced.Ali -
I am sorry to tell you, but the Cisco IPS Sensors do not send Syslog messages. Your only options for sending signature event information are:
SDEE (an TLS Encrypted XML formatted message) the sensor is the SDEE Host and your event receiver (MARS, IME, Intelitactics, etc) is the client.
SNMP Traps - You need to set the "Action" on each signature you want the sensor to send a trap.

ASA - log successful and failed logons to syslog server?
Hello,
How can I log successful and failed SSH and ADSM logons to our syslog server?
ThanksHi,
I haven't really touched the default logging configurations much but some firewalls that I manage have "logging trap informational" which sends messages of users connecting to the firewall.
The messages shows which username was used and if it was rejected or accepted. These messages all seem to be of the "informational" / "level 6" syslog messages.
The syslog IDs for them are:
ASA-6-113008
ASA-6-113012
ASA-6-113015
Though these messages only show information about the AAA not which type of connection was used (I tried both SSH and ASDM to see)
I'm sure there are more messages that will show additional information about the connection and also what the logged user did on the firewall during the management connection.

Help on Reading and Reporting From A log File
Hi there
I need any assistance on developing a class that is able to read from a log file and then be filtered and put into a report. I need to be able to search on the log files per criteria.Chainsaw:

Reading and Writing to a Log file
Hello,
I'm writing a class that will write a user id to a log file every time they click on a particular button. However, I don't want a new line every time a user clicks on the button, I'd like to be able to find their id in the log, increment a counter and write that back to the log in place of the previous entry.
For example, User A clicks on the button for the first time so I write in the log:
User A 1
Next time they come along, I want to see if User A exists in the log - which they do - add 1 to the counter and replace User A 1 with User A 2. So the log will now say:
User A 2
I was thinking of writing to the log, reading the log back in to a HashMap and then writing the HashMap out every time. Seems like a rather inefficient solution. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks!Hi,
counters are a standard topic. Many solutions are to be found in
textbooks. Here is one of them (Hunter & Crawford Java Servlet
Programming):
String activeUser = ... ;
try
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader( "mylog" );
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter("mylog.new");
BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter( fileWriter );
String line;
String user;
String count;
while((line = bufferedReader.readLine() != null )
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer( line );
if( tokenizer.countTokens != 2 ) continue; // bogus line
user = tokenizer.nextToken;
if( activeUser.equals( user ) )
count = tokenizer.nextToken;
bufferedWriter.write(user+" "+(Integer.parseInt(count)+1)+"\n" );
else
bufferedWriter.write( line );
bufferedWriter.close();
fileWriter.close();
bufferedReader.close();
fileReader.close();
File oldLog = new File("mylog");
File newLog = new File("mylog.new");
newLog.renameTo(oldLog);
catch( Exception e )
// do whatever appropriate
}Have fun,

Log Reader Agent: transaction log file scan and failure to construct a replicated command
I encountered the following error message related to Log Reader job generated as part of transactional replication setup on publisher. As a result of this error, none of the transactions propagated from publisher to any of its subscribers.
Error Message
2008-02-12 13:06:57.765 Status: 4, code: 22043, text: 'The Log Reader Agent is scanning the transaction log for commands to be replicated. Approximately 24500000 log records have been scanned in pass # 1, 68847 of which were marked for replication, elapsed time 66018 (ms).'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 20011, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on ServerName.'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 18805, text: 'The Log Reader Agent failed to construct a replicated command from log sequence number (LSN) {00065e22:0002e3d0:0006}. Back up the publication database and contact Customer Support Services.'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 22037, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'ServerName'.'.
Replication agent job kept trying after specified intervals and kept failing with that message.
Investigation
I could clearly see there were transactions waiting to be delilvered to subscribers from the followings:
SELECT * FROM dbo.MSrepl_transactions -- 1162
SELECT * FROM dbo.MSrepl_commands -- 821922
The following steps were taken to further investigate the problem. They further confirmed how transactions were in queue waiting to be delivered to distribution database
-- Returns the commands for transactions marked for replication
EXEC sp_replcmds
-- Returns a result set of all the transactions in the publication database transaction log that are marked for replication but have not been marked as distributed.
EXEC sp_repltrans
-- Returns the commands for transactions marked for replication in readable format
EXEC sp_replshowcmds
Resolution
Taking a backup as suggested in message wouldn't resolve the issue. None of the commands retrieved from sp_browserreplcmds with mentioned LSN in message had no syntactic problems either.
exec sp_browsereplcmds @xact_seqno_start = '0x00065e220002e3d00006'
In a desperate attempt to resolve the problem, I decided to drop all subscriptions. To my surprise Log Reader kept failing with same error again. I thought having no subscription for publications log reader agent would have no reason to scan publisher's transaction log. But obviously I was wrong. Even adding new log reader using sp_addLogreader_agent after deleting the old one would not be any help. Restart of server couldn't do much good either.
EXEC sp_addlogreader_agent
@job_login = 'LoginName',
@job_password = 'Password',
@publisher_security_mode = 1;
When nothing else worked for me, I decided to give it a try to the following procedures reserved for troubleshooting replication
--Updates the record that identifies the last distributed transaction of the server
EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1
-- Flushes the article cache
EXEC sp_replflush
Bingo !
Log reader agent managed to start successfully this time. I wish if I could have used both commands before I decided to drop subscriptions. It would have saved me considerable effort and time spent re-doing subscriptions.
Question
Even though I managed to resolve the error and have replication funtioning again but I think there might have been some better solution and I would appreciate if you could provide me some feedback and propose your approach to resolve the problem.Hi Hilary,
Will the below truncate the log file marked for replication, is there any data loss, when we execute this command, can you please help me understand, the internal working of this command.
EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1 -

Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, go to Step 2.
If there's no change after taking this step, continue.

Read and write Values from Configuration File in BizTalk
There is a requirement where Biz talk orchestration read the value dynamically from Config Store.After some process updating the value in config store.
I though to use SQL Server and create one table with single column.Biztalk will call the Storeproc to get the value and similary for update system will call another SP.
Instead of using SQL Server DB is there option to implement this requirement like app.config,BTSsvcxxexe.config ,SSO Config store etc.
If multi-users access the value from Config store and try to update ,how to handle lock mechanism.Hi BizQ,
Refrain from using BTSConfig file or any custom config file if you have a requirement to update the data. Modifying a
configuration file at runtime can cause some nasty, unexpected behavior inside your application if it's not managed properly.
I would suggest you to use Custom DB or SSO Database in this case.
Both have their Pros and Cons.
SSO Database:
You get out of the box encryption
It is a central store which will service all BizTalk servers within your group
SSO implements a caching mechanism internally for the data
Custom DB:
By storing the configuration in the database you don’t have to worry about consistency of data across servers like you would with a config file.
Cache needs to be implemented by program to avoid delays in reading from physical file.
In your case I recommend to go with SSO DB as in terms of storing custom configuration data in SSO for End Point/Application
specific information and credentials and potentially configuration information which you also need to write and update at runtime from your code or via an administrator.
You can use Richard Seroter's tool to store values as "Config Store" in SSO database and then write a .net helper
utility to retrieve it using SSOConfigStore class. It has method GetConfigInfo and you need to pass application name with other parameters. It returns ConfigurationPropertyBag from where you can read property name and values.

Log Reader Agent error "could not execute sp_replcmds' and causes stack dump
Publisher/Subscriber db: SQL 2008 R2, 2000 compatability mode
Distributor database is on separate server.
(note: There is another database on this instance that is running replication without error, it is not in compatibility mode)
After snapshot agent finishes, the log reader agent starts and fails immediately with this error in the Agent Job.
Then I get a SEV20 error and stack dump in the error logs.
