How to configure the system log on Mac OS X???

Now the system log is removed one week after the creation but I need to store it permanently.
How to do it??

It's not really "removed". The system log is "rotated" out, at least partly to avoid having it grow too large. The older log information is in a series of files named like "system.log.0.bz2, system.log.1.bz2, etc. A file of type ".bz2" is a particular type of compressed file. Eventually the oldest of those files will be deleted. If you want to keep those forever, I'd copy off the oldest of those files on a regular basis to some other location.

How to Configure the system to use an firm's accepted warning banner in 10g

Hello.
I need to configure the system (oracle 10.2) to use an firm's accepted warning banner. I was able to do it in version 11 by putting entries in sqlnet.ora file. It then displayed when connectting as user (sys, system). I tried the same with 10.2 version and it doesnt display. Do i need to do anything different in 10g. I could not find the lead on googling it.
I used theses entries in sqlnet.ora for 11g
SEC_USER_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS_BANNER = <path>\banner2.txt
SEC_USER_AUDIT_ACTION_BANNER = <path>\banner.txt
Do we have to do differenetly in 10g. please help
Thank you very much

ThanksUnfortunately, auditors and security nazis dream up "requirements" without ever considering the capabilities and limitations of the selected technology. A lot of these guys get their technical knowledge from American Airlines Magazine when they get tired of reading the SkyMall catalog.
Sometimes you just have to document the exception, get a manager's signature, and keep it on file.

How to configure the system cache

I found that JS2E has this enhancement:
System Cache: Java Web Start now contains both system and user caches. The system administrator can now pre-load applications and shared libraries into the system cache so that multiple users can share the same resources.
Now how exactly do I pre-load applications?

Clearly the documentation of these two subjects needs to be addressed. I will try to get a compete "How to" document posted later in the month, meanwhile:
1.0)Enterprise Configuration Setup
To configure a system or enterprise configuration, you need to create a file called �deployment.config� and put it in the right place. Java Plug-in and Java Web Start will look for this file first in the directory it calls �deployment system home� , and if not found there, will look in lib directory of the JRE you are running Plug-in or Web Start from. The �deployment.system.home� directory is platform dependent. On unix, it is �/etc/.java/deployment�. On Windows it is <windows dir>/Sun/Java/Deployment.
If the file is in deployment.system.home, it will be used by all jres (only valid from 5.0 and up). If the file is not there, but in the lib directory of the jre, it will only be used when that Plugin-in or Web Start are launched from that jre.
The file contains is a java properties file, with only two possible properties in it: deployment.system.config, and deployment.system.config.mandatory. Here are two example deployment.config files:
deployment.system.config=http\://MyCompany.com/deployFiles/deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
deployment.system.config=file\:/C\:/Program Files/java/jre1.5.0/lib/deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
Note in both examples, the colon in a properties file must be escaped. This also applies to backslashes themselves in the examples below. This is a common problem.
The first example could be deployed by the admin in deployment.system.home, to require all jres used on this system to load the default and locked properties from the url before launching any Java Plug-in applet or Java Web Start application.
The second example could be deployed with the jre, with both deployment.config and deployment.properties
The deployment.properties file pointed to, can contain any of the properties that can be contained in the users deployment.property file (see list on http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html). They can also lock properties by listing the property key with �.locked� appended to it. Here is an example system deployment.properties file:
deployment.user.cachedir=D\:\\deployment\\cache
deployment.security.sandbox.awtwarning=false
deployment.security.askgrantdialog.notinca=false
deployment.security.askgrantdialog.notinca.locked
The first two properties are not locked. The use can change to use a different cache location, or turn back on the AWT Warning banner. The last property is locked. The user is not allowed to grant trust to applications who's jars are selfsigned (or signed with any root not in the rootCA certificate store, nor is he allowed to change this setting. The entry in the control panel for this property will be disabled, and any change made to the users deployment.properties file for this property will be ignored.
Now for system cache:
The system cache property is:"deployment.system.cache.dir". It can be set in either an enterprise or users deployment.properties file with:
deployment.user.cachedir=D\:\\deployment\\system\\cache

HT1529 I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared.

How do we do Archiving the system logs in SAP-BW

Hi All
How do we do Archiving the system logs in SAP-BW.
Can anyone will let me know reagrding this
If you have any docs also pls forward to my id [email protected]
Thanks & Regards
Balji

Balaji,
What is the landscape you have ?
Windows / Unix / Solaris etc ?
Also there are a lot of logs that are generated:
Archive log ,
System Log,
Transaction log etc...
The usual procedure is to copy them into another location and then delete the original file , the system will usually recreate the log and start logging new entries..

Hope it helps...

When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it. Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad?

When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it. The iPhoto window opens up and reads the photos on the iPad, so it is connecting to the computer. Earlier today I wasn't having any problems. I have shut down the iPad and the computer and started over, but that didn't help. Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad so I can update the apps on it?

Hi, is the problem just to update your apps on your iPad? Here is what you should check. Is the iTunes on your computer updated to the latest version? Does your iPad needs to be updated? Do you have enough storage on your iPad to do the update? On your device is your iCloud back up checked?
Go to Settings - iCloud - Backup/Storage - see if its checked, and try unchecking it before connecting it to the computer.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Understanding the system log (boot time 2 minutes)

Dear Apple Discussion,
I am trying to read the system.log correctly - mainly because my boot time is 2 minutes.
I have read that the beginning of the boot up is indicated by the line:
localhost kernel[0]: standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us
is this correct?
Next, does the line:
loginwindow[165]: Login Window Started Security Agent
indicate that the login window has come up?
If both of these are correct then my boot time should be 18s (according to the time stamps in the log) - it defefinitely is not that.
Does the boot process start instead at this line:
shutdown: reboot by root:
If this were the case, the boot time would be closer to 2 minutes according to the log (which is what it actually is).
This then brings up the next problem: the two minutes basically come from the following line:
Nov 29 17:30:24 Purrfekt shutdown: reboot by root:
Nov 29 17:30:24 Purrfekt SystemStarter[177]: authentication service (194) did not complete successfully
Nov 29 17:30:24 Purrfekt kernel[0]: CiscoVPN : unloading cisco ipsec kernel module.
Nov 29 17:30:24 Purrfekt kernel[0]: CiscoVPN : detaching from interface: en1.
Nov 29 17:30:24 Purrfekt kernel[0]: CiscoVPN : interface en1, filter has been safely detached.
Nov 29 17:30:24 Purrfekt kernel[0]: CiscoVPN : detaching from interface: en0.
Nov 29 17:30:24 Purrfekt kernel[0]: CiscoVPN : interface en0, filter has been safely detached.
Nov 29 17:32:12 localhost kernel[0]: standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us
ending line of the boot process occurs at (if my above assumption is correct):
Nov 29 17:32:31 Purrfekt loginwindow[165]: Login Window Started Security Agent
So why does it hang for so long at this one process? Am I reading the log incorrectly? I have searched around here and also on google ("slow boot time", "cisco vpn tiger", etc..) but haven't found anything relating to my problem.
Thanks for any help.

v.1 PowerBook G4 15'' Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I am trying to read the system.log correctly - mainly because my boot time is 2 minutes.
It appears to be that a restart or shutdown process delays nearly 2 minutes rather than a startup process, presumably due to one of WindowServer children or a bug stays in Mac OS X 10.4.3 Update-- Mine delays approximately 30 - 40 minutes on PowerMac G5 2.7 Ghz on every shutdown or restart process. Your computer is PowerMac G4 so that make sense. I found a suspect application which is a security related. Although I am still investigating further because the issue does not occur on the lower drive bay where I install another Mac OS X 10.4.3 Update (but no third-party software) as a test facility.
localhost kernel[0]: standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us
This is correct and the first line to display sequential events in a boot process.
loginwindow[165]: Login Window Started Security Agent
This is also a normal behavior.
SystemStarter[xxx]: authentication service (xxx) did not complete successfully
This can be displayed depending on a computer configuration.
A sequential event from CiscoVPN: unloading cisco ipsec kernel module to CiscoVPN: interface en0, filter has been safely detached seems to be all right if you PROPERLY configure VPN policy and IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) authenticate, etc for your Cisco device. IPsec is a framework for a set of protocols for security at the network or packet processing layer of network communication.
I suggest to check all related settings with Netwrok/Sharing panes and the router configurations for VPN (IPsec), IPv6, security, etc. Also check routing table and all socket connections after you launch Network Utility or via Terminal commands.
FYI: interface en0 is a wired connection and interface en1 is a wireless connection such as AirPort. IPsec kernel module is a unit of kernel program or componet for IPsec.
Hope this helps.

Application messages are in the system log instead of the application log

Hi SAP GURUS.
The standard output is created from the outbound delivery .
All the messages are hitting the system log instead of the application log .
This is after the upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 .
Please provide the details how to move the log to the application log since the output is the standard output (SAP provided output type ).

How to configure the XI and PLM in discovery box

How to configure the XI (SLD, Integration repository, Integration Builder ) in SAP discovery system.
And also i want to configure the PLM and xRPM within R/3 of discovery box.
Regards,
Nilesh Damle

Hi Frank,
well, first of all, your application provides log configuration information using an XML file at deployment time. This file is called log-configuration.xml (you can see the DTD description here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/ef8748caed894bb4b3ae953a60c592/frameset.htm). There you can set configure log controllers, which could be two types: location and category. So, you can specify your location and severity there. This is described here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/35/671c0136b4714c9e1b16b68211287b/frameset.htm.
Then, after the application is deployed, the log configurations you provided for it are registered with the Log Configuration tool I mentioned about. Using this tool you can later on modify your configurations at runtime (for example, change the severity level) without having to redeploy the application.
I hope it's clearer now? I guess it was me not getting your first question correctly that caused your confusion.
Greetings,
Ivo

Windows could not finish configuring the system error after sysprep /generalize

Hi
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate RTM off from technet and as always I do make use of WIM images on having them deployed to my home PC's
I was able to have it installed on a clean machine and once the wizard appeared i immediately entered Audit mode (shift+ctrl+f3) and the usual I loaded all of the software i need to pre-install after I was done I Immediately loaded sysprep and had it with the generalized option
now this is where the problem begins....... after it restarts during the "Setup is starting Services" screen it gives me a message box error saying "Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt resume configuration, restart the computer" and once I press ok it jsut restarts and gives the same error again.
This does not happen when i dont select the generalize option in sysprep.
Anyone who had the same issues?

I now have the ACTUAL SOLUTION to this problem. This solution will actually tell you exactly what registry key is causing your sysprep to fail, so then you don't have to slowly install
every program until you find the problem -- especially since this didn't work for me because my problem has been intermittent.
This issue is caused by certain registry keys that are either:
a) Larger than 8kb
b) Set with incorrect permissions
c) Corrupt in some way
For me, the problem was intermittent (same registry key would sometimes cause the issue and sometimes not - must be corrupt sometimes) so it was impossible to tell what program was doing it. Luckily, there is a log you can look at that will tell you
exactly what registry key is erroring out. Here are the steps for getting the log you need to see:
When you see the error message, do the following:
1.) Push Shift+F10 to get to a command prompt
2.) Navigate to C:\windows\Panther
3.) Find the Setup.etl file and find a way to copy this file off of the system (I copied it to the D:\ partition and used Ghost to gather that partition and get the file off)
4.) Copy the setup.etl file from the corrupted system to another computer that has Windows 7. Put it on the root of C:\ for easiest access.
5.) Open a Command Prompt on the Windows 7 computer.
6.) Navigate to the root of C:\ (or wherever you saved the file)
7.) Type "tracerpt setup.etl -o logfile.csv"
8.) Close the command prompt and open up logfile.csv in your text editor of choice.
9.) Look through the log file (towards the end probably) for messages that say "Failed to process reg key or one of it's decendants" For me, the exact eror looked like this: "Failed to process reg key or one of its descendants: [\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET
Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000200\Profiles\@My profile]" If you search for "reg key" or "failed to process" you should find the failure.
10.) Remove this software from your image, or find out how to get the registry key that is failing to work properly.
After this, you should be able to properly identify any problem keys and remove/workaround them on your image.
I see this post is about a year old at this point, but after searching the internet for weeks, I had high hopes for this solution. It seemed to go well, but the logfile.csv doesn't have the word "fail" in it anywhere...no "reg key", nothing. Did a sysprep
install with an unattend.xml answer file that seems to be working properly, but hangs at "Setup is starting services." forever.
At this point, I'm pretty convinced that the problem is a service or reg key error from one of the apps I installed during audit mode, but I can't tell which app/service is causing the problem.
Are there any other methods for viewing failed services or registry errors that would cause the sysprep install process to hang at "Setup is starting services."?
Willing to post logfile.csv from the "tracerpt setup.etl -o logfile.csv" command, or other log files such as setupact.log, etc. Nothing popped out at me.
For now I think I'll start making multiple .wim files with only certain software installed to try to discover which application is the culprit...just wish there was an easier way.

Understand the System Log?

I want to understand the System Log. What happened at this or that time, but in particular I want to see how much my son is playing World of Warcraft.
I know the info is there somewhere, but I don't know how to retrieve it...?

Hi, Andreas.
Understanding system logging is a rather complex issue: not one that lends itself to a quick description here. Its primary use, unless your a SysAdmin, is for gleaning additional information for troubleshooting, as discussed in my Checking Console for clues FAQ.
Tracking your child's game play is not something you are likely to find in the Console logs. Instead, consider MacMinder.
Since you have children using computers, you may also want to review my "Internet Safety for Children" FAQ.

*HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY*

HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY
I have set the RMAN CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY; on my physical standby server.
My archivelog files are not deleted on standby.
I have set the CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default on the Primary server.
I've checked the archivelogs with the FRA and they are not beign deleted on the STANDBY. Do I have to do something for the configuation to take effect? Like run a RMAN backup?
I've done a lot ofresearch and i'm getting mixed answers. Please help. Thanks in advanced.
J

Setting the Policy will not delete the Archive logs on the Standby. ( I found a thread where the Data Guard product manager says "The deletion policy on both sides will do what you want" ). However I still
like to clean them off with RMAN.
I would use RMAN to delete them so that it can use that Policy are you are protected in case of Gap, transport issue etc.
There are many ways to do this. You can simply run RMAN and have it clean out the Archive.
Example :
#!/bin/bash
# Name: db_rman_arch_standby.sh
# Purpose: Database rman backup
# Usage : db_rman_arch_standby <DBNAME>
if [ "$1" ]
then DBNAME=$1
else
echo "basename $0 : Syntax error : use . db_rman_full <DBNAME> "
exit 1
fi
. /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/env/${DBNAME}.env
echo ${DBNAME}
MAILHEADER="Archive_cleanup_on_STANDBY_${DBNAME}"
echo "Starting RMAN..."
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / catalog <user>/<password>@<catalog> << EOF
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-8';
exit
EOF
echo `date`
echo
echo 'End of archive cleanup on STANDBY'
mailx -s ${MAILHEADER} $MAILTO < /tmp/rmandbarchstandby.out
# End of ScriptThis uses ( calls an ENV) so the crontab has an environment.
Example ( STANDBY.env )
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ULIMIT=unlimited
ORACLE_SID=STANDBY
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0.2
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data

TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_BASE/dba_tool/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/lbin:/GNU/bin/make:/u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/bin:/home/oracle/utils/SCRIPTS:/usr/local/bin:.

export LIBPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORA_NLS33
export TNS_ADMIN
export PATH
export MAILTO=?? your email hereNote use the env command in Unix to get you settings.
There are probably ten other/better ways to do this, but this works.

How to see the change logs for billing document

Dears,
Could you please how to see the change logs for billing document.
My client is using ECC 6.0 & if i use VF03 > Environment > changes > does not show the changes i had made.
Thanks in advance
Ranjan

hello, friend.
you should be able to see changes done after the initial creation and saving, by going thru Environment > Changes. try it again, and this time make sure that changes were done to the billing document prior to posting to accounting.
normally, when configuration of Billing is done correctly, there will be little or no instances of changing anything in the Billing document, as saving the document after creation will post this to Accounting. of course, inclusion of a posting block in the billing type will provide you the opportunity for changes.
regards.
