Help understanding my log

Can anyone help me understand what these 2 entries in my log indicate?
1.) Jan 31 00:42:03 Mark-p-macbook-pro Firewall[38]: qmasterd is listening from 0.0.0.0:49153 uid = 0 proto=6
2.) Jan 31 00:44:34 Mark-p-macbook-pro Firewall[38]: Stealth Mode connection attempt to UDP 10.0.1.300:49174 from
Thanks!!!!

They are making references to information from your firewall program. Qmasterd is a component of FCP. Not sure what program is generating the Stealth mode connection.

Help Understanding the Log - status=sent to status=bounced

Hello,
This is a very newb question and I'm very sorry to have to ask this here. I attempted googling it and searching for it, and I just can't seem to find a clear answer on this issue, so I'm hoping someone can just help me understand 2 messages in my log here quickly.
First, we send emails to Company A all the time and have no problem doing so; however, recently we had the need to email a new employee at Company A that we've never emailed before and anything we email to him gets bounced back.
At looking at the logs I have the following 2 messages (and what I think they mean), can someone confirm with me what these messages mean. Sorry, again I know, newbie.
Nov 3 09:51:30 xxxx postfix/smtp[3785]: 72C2CCC203A: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=0.18, delays=0.01/0/0/0.17, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 9C61DCC2049)
This means my server sent the message out to the Internet without issue correct?
Nov 3 09:51:33 xxxx postfix/smtp[3792]: 9C61DCC2049: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mail.global.frontbridge.com[216.32.181.22]:25, delay=3.3, delays=0/0/3.1/0.21, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mail.global.frontbridge.com[216.32.181.22] said: 554 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command))
Does this mean another server (mail.global.frontbridge.com) flagged it as spam or blocked the email from going through?
If so, I'm really confused why we can email everyone else at companya.com but not this particular person. Then I don't even know who to blame as far as the problem goes, is my company blocked from sending out or is Company A blocked from receiving. (I'm thinking a blacklist)
I'm just looking for verification I guess and maybe what I should look at doing to resolve the issue.
In googling this issue, it did appear others out there are having this issue with mail.global.frontbridge.com, but that doesn't mean my server is setup correctly I guess ... even though I'm fairly certain it is .... :/
Thank you anyways to whoever can help me confirm what's going on here.

The problem is most likely on their end. If your mail server was blacklisted by them, you would not be able to mail any address on their server.
That said:
Nov 3 09:51:30 xxxx postfix/smtp3785: 72C2CCC203A: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1http://127.0.0.1:10024, delay=0.18, delays=0.01/0/0/0.17, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 9C61DCC2049)
This means my server sent the message out to the Internet without issue correct?
No, it means the e-mail was delivered to the content filter (spam/virus)) on your server (relay=127.0.0.1 = localhost = your server).
Nov 3 09:51:33 xxxx postfix/smtp3792: 9C61DCC2049: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mail.global.frontbridge.comhttp://216.32.181.22:25, delay=3.3, delays=0/0/3.1/0.21, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mail.global.frontbridge.comhttp://216.32.181.22 said: 554 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command))
The receiving server (mail.global.frontbridge.com) is rejecting the e-mail. Since they only give a generic error, you will need to ask them why. (Chances are they have not defined the new user on their gateway.)

I've had the same problem for months and no solution as of yet. The source of the problem is that it appears that a software module is actually crashing. Has anyone ever figured out how to avoid this crash?

Import finished with few errors...Help understanding it!

Hi all,
Yesterday, I finished to do an import in oracle. I used the impdp command and got few errors after the import was done. Here are some bits from my log. It was very long but I shortened it with the most common errors. I would appreciate your help understanding what does each error mean, and whether there's a solution available.
Thanks!

Hello people,
I just run for the second time a full import, and it said it finished correctly.
The first time I run it, there was a message which said that the import had finished with 2249 errors (I checked my log and not all of them were errors but messages). I checked each single message and only had to solve a couple of things.
I first created a user in response to an ora-29393: user string does not exist or is not logged on.
The second thing I did was to run the utlrp.sql file in response to an ORA-39082. I did this according to this blog.
I know oracle is taking precedence each time I run an import. I don’t know if what I have done is okay or perhaps not all data was imported after all. This is the thread which I posted initially when errors came out.
Any reply is a supply.
Thanks loads

Understanding Server Log

I am really grateful to members of this forum in helping and guiding me in setting up my first server. Everything appears to be running smoothly so far. The monitoring strategy and understanding the server log will be critical. Can anyone point me to documentation that would help understanding the server log?

Nope. Sorry.
There is no general documentation of the server logs (beyond scattered postings and web pages, and the associated source code for various associated component tools as that code is available, and details of logs and errors for some of the specific components from their respective maintainers), nor would I expect this sort of general console log documentation to be available due to the sheer breadth of componentry and the churn from the OS X updates and upgrades. The process of learning the logs involves watching and learning what's normal operation for a specific server, and what sorts of patterns — blocks of repeated errors, daemons crashing and restarting, unusual delays or such — that indicate issues. Some of the normal log chatter can look quite draconian and can spook readers, with the ClamAV warning being a popular example of this, as are various (paraphrasing) OMG OUTDATED API warnings for OS X components.
If you're starting to deal with a number of systems, then you'll be looking at implementing log analysis tools and rules, SNMP and syslog to manage the chatter.
As a more general discussion, learning the individual components from available resources is entirely reasonable and recommended, as might be learning the structure of the OS X kernel and maybe then looking at application crashes and such for more advanced understanding. There are books and videos and various web pages on the components. Once you know how the pieces work, knowing what's normal in the logs is a little easier.
Monitoring system activity can help, too. It's fairly common to see a failure generate excessive disk I/O or processor activity, and spool up the fans. Security breaches and DDoSes and such can generate similar loads. The server gets, well, hot. If you watch the server and network activity, you can know when your system is busy, and know when it's busy for no obvious or good reason. At a more advanced policy and planning level, plotting activity over time can tell you when your server is headed toward an overload.
Monitoring the core server forum postings via RSS feeds (eg: this forum) can help spot trends and what become known bugs, as can be membership on the Mac Enterprise mailing list. I also follow various security-oriented notification lists and RSS feeds, including those RSS feeds from Apple and those associated with components and tools I use. (These can also help you learn the system and the tools, too.)
More generally, have backups, consider and potentially implement periodic off-site backups, learn IP networking and DNS and maybe managed switches and DMZs and the rest if and as you scale up, get onto notification lists for the tools and products that you use (particularly for security reports), and (generally) don't rush to upgrade OS X Server save for cases involving actively-exploited or critical security or stability problems — have your reasons for upgrading and consider the trade-offs against not upgrading, and "shiny" isn't usually one of the best reasons for an upgrade.

Help deciphering AUSST logs?

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me decipher the AUSST logs? I am required to report to our IT department all update activity for my systems (OS and apps) quarterly, including total file size. All the information I need is in the logs, but it's unclear what AUSST is actually doing.
I recently did an incremental update and decided to look at the logs to see if I could tell what kind of activity is actually going on in my Cache directory. The log entries seem to be self-explanatory but they don't agree with the response from the AUSST tool, or with the actual directory activity.
For instance; today's update claimed 1078 items were processed and there were errors in 0 items...
Processed 1078 out of 1078 items.
Error in 0 items.
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool returned with code: 0.
For more information refer AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool.log at /Users/admin/Library/Logs .
However there are 3,345 entries in the log for today's update. That suggests there are roughly 3 log entries per "Item" processed by AUSST? What is an "Item?"
Also, when I search for items in my AUSST cache that have been created or modified during the last 12 hours, there are 1,224. That is more than the 1,078 "Items" and fewer than the 2,451 log entries that claim an item was downloaded.
I need this data to be accurate, but the logs and reality don't quite mesh so I think I must not understand the logs correctly.
Little help?
-Brian

Wait... bonehead move on my part. I forgot I had ran the update twice by accident so the log I was looking at (for todays date) actually had two complete cycles in it.
In this case, the number of files actually created or modified during the last 12 hours matches the number of entries in the log exactly. So that's the answer.
Also, if I look at distinct directories, I get 1078... exactly the number of "Items" processed by AUSST. So it appears when there are multiple files for a given "Item" they are not included in the count.
Okay, I think I get it now. If you have anything to add, please feel free, but I think I have all I need for my reporting purposes now.
-Brian

Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
Thanks,
Wei

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the response.
Application release is 11.5.10.
Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

Help understand how this works

Hows everyone doing, i need some help understand this. This is my first time using Lulu. From the reviews i'v read about it they tell me this is the #1 place to come to to get my books printed. Here the question, i have all 3 of my books ready to be uploaded do i just sent that in, then they send me the prints ? or so they self them for me. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but its my first time using this particular site.

Here's a quick overview:
You start the new book wizard. Click "Create," pick a book type and size (hardcover, paperback, etc.; 6x9, 8.5 x 11, etc.), and click "Make this book."
Hint: If you want the widest distribution for your book, pick a size / type that has a green checkmark next to it.
The wizard will guide you to name your book, apply an ISBN (or get a free one), upload your contents, and upload your cover or design a cover. It will guide you to set pricing and distribution, and many other options.
When you've done all that, your book will be available to order. You will see two prices: the one you pay, and the one other people pay. The one you pay is the printing cost per book. It may be anywhere from $2.50 to $20.00 or more, depending on options you pick -- probably coser to the low end.
On that first page, where it says "Create," there is a calculator that will figure roughly what your book will cost (printing costs), so you can plan your options around that calculator.
So you order as many books as you want, pick shipping, pay with a credit card, and in a few days, the books are on your doorstep.
I hope that helps.

Help understanding ABAP Proxies

Can someone point me to documentation to help understand ABAP proxies? What they are, why I would use them and what are the considerations in using them over BAPI's or IDOCS? I had a recent discussion with someone who is choosing to not use them because of security considerations.

Hi Rick,
For ABAP proxy documentation refer...

Understanding http log

Hi,
I know that the doc did specify a very high level of understanding the log:
dateTime hostName processName[pid]: category logLevel: eventMessage
However I have couple of questions here:
Q1) Why is there different IP addresses shown? 129.2.20.19 is the load balancer and 136.14.130.21 is from PC.
Q2) What is the difference between the 2 time stamps, one at the beginning and one at the end of each entry?
Example: ..03/Jun/2005:14:58:00....14:56:57 0:01:03.....

Q1) Why is there different IP addresses shown?
129.2.20.19 is the load balancer and 136.14.130.21
1 is from PC.The ip is the address of the system that connected. It's reporting that. If one of your users connected directly, then his ip is reported. We must know the ip where the connection is happening, if we're going to have ip security.
Q2) What is the difference between the 2 time stamps,
one at the beginning and one at the end of each
entry?Login time vs log out time? I'm not exactly sure, myself.
Why is this important to you? The timestamp on the left is the logout time.

I had something called backupd-helper cancel my log out last night. I was wondering it this is spyware? Can anyone help?

This morning I had a information window that read "The application backupd-helper cancled logout. To try again, quit backupd-helper and choose log out form the Apple menu." I look for this app on my dock, but it was not there. I used spot light to try to find it but it did not show up. I checked in my applications folder and utilities folder, but again no luck. Finally I used Activity Monitor and there it was, but as soon as I "inspected" it the process terminated and disappeared. It's parent app is Launchd. Any information would be very helpful, thanks.

This is part of Time Machine. It is a daemon helper, part of the backup process.
It is not spyware.

Need help with log4j logging tool (org.apache.log4j.*) to log into database

Hi,
I need help with log4j logging tool (org.apache.log4j.*) to log into database using JDBCAppender. Have look at my logger code and corresponding log4j.properties file stated below. I'm running this program using Eclipse IDE and it's giving me the following error (highlighted in red) at the end:

Can someone help me understand console logs?

I'm trying to figure out if my computer was used today and what was done. Can someone tell me what the console logs mean?
I closed my Mac at 6am and I can figure out why it shows activity at 810 am....
Thank you.
