How to analyse WAAS transaction log ?

hi all
in my user environment
some WAE accelerated perfomance is not well
effective capacity including Pass-Through is 1.2x - 1.5x
I found that PT traffic is big
I enabled transaction log
and have any procedure to analyse log and tune the WAE
make it better
thanks

Hello,
Your question is a very common issue that we see. The transaction logs probably won't help you improve the performance of your WAAS network.
The best place to start is by running a "show stat conn pass-through"
This will give you a list of all the connections that are in Pass-through and some indication of why they are in pass-through or PT. Here is a short sample
192.98.108.239:2731 192.98.203.55:88    N/A                 PT App Cfg
192.98.48.6:3268    155.64.230.190:185870:1a:64:c7:57:f0    PT Asymmetric
192.98.108.221:1241 192.98.48.41:1258   N/A                 PT In Progress
192.64.188.55:8000 172.16.64.130:2006 N/A                 PT In Progress
192.64.230.107:80   172.16.64.241:3111 N/A                 PT No Peer
192.127.38.51:1521 192.98.150.30:3583 N/A                 PT In Progress
You can see a few of the reasons for the PT connections and each one of them have different reasons.
PT App CFG, means that that there is a classifier for that TCP port and it is configured for Pass-through.
The remaining PT can be caused by WCCP misconfiguration at the site you are looking at or the remote location.
To find the issue, you need to do traceroute from the client to server and server to client. Follow that path and make sure it is hitting a L3 interface on a router with WCCP enabled. Also check your WCCP ACL to make sure your traffic is permitted.
For WAAS to optimize a connection, WCCP has to happen four times. The SYN at the local and remote router and the same for the SYN/ACK.
I hope this is helpful.

Need a Walkthrough on How to Create Database & Transaction Log Backups

Is this the proper forum to ask for this type of guidance? There has been bad blood between my department (Research) and the MIS department for 30 years, and long story short I have been "given" a virtual server and cut loose by my MIS department
-- it's my responsibility for installs, updates, backups, etc. I have everything running really well, I believe, with the exception of my transaction log backups -- my storage unit is running out of space on a daily basis, so I feel like I have to be
doing something wrong.
If this is the proper forum, I'll supply the details of how I currently have things set up, and I'm hoping with some loving guidance I can work the kinks out of my backup plan. High level -- this is for a SQL Server 2012 instance running on a Windows
2012 Server...

Thanks all, after posting this I'm going to read the materials provided above. As for the details:
I'm running on a virtual Windows Server 2012 Standard, Intel Xeon CPU 2.6 GHz with 16 GB of RAM; 64 bit OS. The computer name is e275rd8

There is currently only one database: DistrictAssessmentDW
To create my backups, I'm using two maintenance plans, and this is where I'm pretty sure I'm not doing something correctly. My entire setup is me just guessing what to do, so feel free to offer suggestions...
Maintenance Plan #1: Backup DistrictAssessmentDW
Scheduled to run daily Monday Through Friday at 3:33 AM
Step 1: Backup Database (Full)
Backup set expires after 8 days
Back up to Disk (S:\SQLBackups)
Set backup compression: using the default server setting
Step 2: Maintenance Cleanup Task
Delete files of the following type: Backup files
Search folder and delete files based on an extension:
Folder: L:\SQL\Logs
File extension: trn
Include first-level subfolders: checkmarked/on

File age: Delete files based on the age of the file at task run time older than 8 Days
Maintenance Plan #2: Backup DistrictAssessmentDW TRANS LOG ONLY
Scheduled to run daily Monday through Friday; every 20 minutes starting at 6:30 AM & ending at 7:00 PM
Step 1: Backup Database Task
Backup Type: Transaction Log

Around 2:30 each day my transaction log backup drive (L:) runs out of space. As you can see, transactions are getting backed up every 20 minutes, and the average size of the backup files is about 5,700,000 KB.
I hope this covers everything, if not please let me know what other information I need to provide...

How to see DB transaction logs

Hi All,
I have application mapped to the oracle DB RAC(node1 and node2). I am making request to the application, now I would like to know each request is served by which node. Where can I get this information in the Database. I am using 11g database.
I would like to know which transaction is handled by which node.
thanks,
Venkat.
Edited by: user778405 on Sep 2, 2010 4:44 AM

There is no simple answser. This depends mainly on the way you can retrieve some application data in GV$SESSION.
This data needs to be set up explicity with DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO or maybe implicitely by the application code/database driver.

How can I view transaction log?

Hello,
I need to get statistics, about how much time does it take to execute each stored procedure (procedure start time, and procedure end time) on database 9i.
Any ideas?
Thanx,
Romas

Hi Romas,
Take a look at the DBMS_PROFILER package. Functions in the package to look at are START_PROFILER and END_PROFILER. Once you are done, profiling, you can get a very detailed report on how long your procs took and much more stuff.
Besure to install the DBMS_PROFILER package using "PROFLOAD.SQL" script (sys must install it). the PROFTAB.sql script will help you the info. All stated in the link below. Hope this helps.
Here is the link to the documentation.

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?

How do I view the transaction log in SQL Server 2008?

Hello,
I want to know how to view all the transactions taken during a particular period of time. I know there is a log file, ending with .ldf, created for each database. But how do I view this file?
Is there any tool in the SQL Server studio that can enable me to view the transactions for a given time period?
The reason for me wanting to view the log file is that, last week during a power outage, certain amount of data was not written. And one my friend had also messed up some of the data (unfortunately, she doesn't remember what she did).
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It enables you to read from you transaction log which contains very valuable information about stuff that is happening in your database.
select
* from fn_dblog (null,null) ..
EXAMPLE:
SELECT
FROM
::fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)
WHERE
operation = 'LOP_DELETE_SPLIT'

How to delete Transaction Logs in SQL database

Hi,
Can any one explain me the process how to delete the transcation logs in SQL database.
Thanks
Sunil

Sunil,
Yes you can take online backup in MS SQL server.
The transaction log files contain information about all changes made to the database. The log files are necessary components of the database and may never be deleted. Why you want to delete it?
I am taking any backup, do i need to turn off the SAP server that is running at the moment or can i take it online
There are three main types of SQL Server Backup: Full Database Backup, Differential Database Backup and Transaction Log Backup. All these backups can be made when the database is online and do not require you to stop the SAP system.
Check below link for details

How to find out whether the transaction logs are being truncated or not

Hi,
We are using Veritas Backup tool for Backups and restores on our MS SQL 2000.
One of our Veritas Tech has disabled the Truncation of Transaction Log Backup using the Job setup in Veritas. We want to confirm whether the Truncation is happening or not. I don't see any difference in the Transaction Log file size.
How to find out whether truncation is active or not?
Thanks
Vijay

Hello Vijay,
On MSSQL truncation of transaction log does not shrink the size of the transaction log. It simply removes the content within the transaction log and writes it to the backup.
Meaning the free percentage within the transaction log will increase.
If you want to Resize the transaction log size, you need to do something else.
The shrinking procedure is given here:

What is X-CorrelationID in the OEG 11g transaction log ? How can I get it ?

Hi May I have question here:
what is X-CorrelationID in the OEG 11g transaction log ? How can I get it through policy path and keep it's value ?
Thanks.
Cliff

The most common scenario would be to use attribute expansion, so if you configure a field with the following:
${id}
Then the value of the field will be expanded to the correlation id valiue.
For example if you wanted to use the id in a log statement you could have something like the following:
The message ${id} was presented by subject: ${authentication.subject.id}
Which at run time would be expanded to:
The message Id-12345-12345 was present by Clive
If the id has the value Id-12345-12345 and authentication.subject.id has the value Clive

How to TRUNCATE transaction log of a SQL Server database?

Hello All,
I hav installed BW 3.5 on Windows / MS SQL database.
Now my transaction log is growing very high in my Quality & Production server. Please guide me how can i truncate its size.
In PRD currently log size has reached 140 GB.
Wat shd i do system is becoming too slow.
Regards & Thanks,
Ankita.

Ankita,
Do you backup your transaction logs? That should be standard practice in a production enivorment at the least. The backup should remove the data and shrink the file, or remove enough data for you to manually shrink it.
A large transaction log will not slow down your system. It is a file that is only appended to and has no real bearing on the speed of the database (unless its on the same physical disk and there is I/O contention not related to size).
Depending your your BI implentation a 140 GB log file is not out of the ordinary, but it needs to be managed with backups and administration.
Daniel,
If you backup the transaction file to tape, set the target size to 60 GBs, and run the DBCC Shrinkfile statement provided above you can decrease the size of your log file without data loss and without compromising your backup strategy.
There is no single prerequisite for truncating a log. It is a last resort if there is no other option and a backup is impossible. It should be avoided whenever possible because you destroy your recovery chain.

How to reduce transaction log in SQL Server 2000

Dear All gurus/experts,
I need your help. The problem is that the time to take to reduce transaction log in SQL server 2000 when I use shrink method. Are there another way to do that beside shrink database (right click : all tasks --> shrink database) ?
I appreciate your answers. TIA
Rgds,

Hi Steve,
Is this for a test system or a production system?
For a test system, as per Ad's post, setting the recovery model to simple should do the trick.
For a production system, I'd recommend you leave the recovery model at full and set up transaction log backups. This will keep the log file at a reasonable size and you will gain point in time recovery (eg if you back up the logs on an hourly basis, you can recover the database to the last log backup, meaning you would never lose more than an hour's work).
Kind Regards,
Owen

Database restore from backup--miss some transaction log backup files.How to restore?

One database with full recovery model
it runs full backup at 12:00 am on 1/1 one time.
Then transaction log backup every 3 hours. 3:00 am, 6:00am,9:00 am, 12:00 Pm, 3:00Pm,6:00PM,9:00pm,12am......
If we can't find 3:00 am, 6:00am, 9:00am transaction log backup files, could we still restore to 6:00am? We still have all transaction log backup files after 12:00Pm.
Thanks

NO..log files are incremental and connected.If any log file is missing you cannot restore to point which comes after backup which is lost or damaged.Like u miss 3 AM trn log backup now even if you have 6,9,12 AM trn log backups its of no use .

How to re-read a 2 GB transaction log archived

I've archived with the backup utility the transaction log of my R/3 system cause we had space problems. Now the file backed-up has a size of 2 GB. I need to read it but I can't open because it's too big. Is there any utility or way to read a so big LOG file? Is there any particular function between the database tools I can use to do it?
Thanx
Sonya

Hello,
you cannot check the free space from outside the SQL Server as you can't open the actual log file as it is locked by SQL Server. If you want to get the information about free log space you can run the SQL command:
dbcc sqlperf(logspace)
If you want to get the information within a bat file you can use the osql utillity from SQL Server:
@echo off
osql -E -Q"dbcc sqlperf(logspace)"
The -E paramter connects you with a trusted Windows connection to the server. If you hae a named instance you have to specify the -S<Instancename> paramter as well. See in SQL Server Books Online for the complete syntax for the osql.exe utility.
Best regards
Clas

Content Engine transaction logs -- monitoring and analysis

At our remote sites there's a local Cisco CE511 to ease our WAN bandwidth. I have been tasked to find a method to gather CE usage for trending and troubleshooting.
From my search on the internet I decided to go with the Webalizer application. I setup the CEs to export their transaction logs every hour to my FTP server. After a test of Webalizer on a log file, it produced a nice HTML report for that hour.
I would like to discuss with anyone on bringing this up to a new level. I would like webalizer to run as a cron job, but the log file names changes every hour. So that's a hurdle I need to figure out. Also keeping track of user web hits is important. I would like to make sure my reports are accurate in reporting what IP address is the top talker.
I hope this will start a productive exchange of ideas. Thanks.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an interoperable standards-based protocol that allows for external monitoring of the Content Engine through an SNMP agent.
An SNMP-managed network consists of three primary components: managed devices, agents, and management systems. A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and resides on a managed network. Managed devices collect and store management information and use SNMP to make this information available to management systems that use SNMP. Managed devices include routers, access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, and printers.
An SNMP agent is a software module that resides in a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that information into a form compatible with SNMP. The SNMP agent gathers data from the Management Information Base (MIB), which is the repository for information about device parameters and network data. The agent can also send traps, or notification of certain events, to the manager.

Transaction logging on waas 4.1.1c no_peer

started doing transaction logging
where do i find the decode, I don't understand no_peer when both devices are accessible

no_peer indicates that the TCP Autodiscovery does not detect another WAE at the other end during the syn/syn-ack/ack handshake.
Look for asynchronise routes that are not being intercepted or other back door routes that traffic might be taking. The same WAE needs to see both sides of the TCP connection. It could be something as simple as a typo in a wccp redirect-list acl or missing wccp redirect on an interface.
Hope that helps,
Dan
