How to disable log4j via configuration file

Howdy,
I am using the quartz library which uses log4j, how can I disable log4j in my release version? where can I find a sample configuration file to disable log4j?
TBH i am not sure if its actually running as i am not pointing it to config, i get these warnings:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
But I would prefer to just disable it all together (or initialize it correctly and make it do nothing)...so I am looking for how I can accomplish this. I've read over the docs here:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html
They are a bit long winded for what I need to do so I might have missed it, but i am just looking for how to structure a minimal con fig file to properly initialize log4j and prevent it from logging anything

Now quick question, how can I modify this to prevent logging from occuring? It seems as if I set log4j.debug=FALSE nothing is logged, is that all thats required? set rootLogger to OFF if you intend to turn off logging, something like this.
log4j.rootLogger=OFF, R
Also how can i specify a null appender? I dont want log4j to attempt to log to a file on an end users systemlog file is not created on the end users system. It is created in the app server where the application is running. Setting rootLogger to OFF should take care of your problem as nothing will be logged.

How to pass parameters to configuration files

Hello,
I have an application which uses several libraries and frameworks like log4j and hibernate.
Each library/framework is configured via its own configuration file, some configuration files are in xml format and others are in properties format.
Each configuration file has lots of specialized parameters that should not be exposed to the user but there are also one or two parameters that must be configured by the end user.
For example:
The log4j configuration file has lots of specialized parameters that the user should not see, but there is one parameter that the user must configure: the path for the application log file.
Another example:
The hibernate configuration file has lots of specialized parameters that the user should not see, but there is one parameter that the user musr configure: the path to the application database.
It would be great if we can have an user-configuration-file that contains only the parameters that should be configured by the user and leave the complicated and specialized parameters in their corresponding files.
I want to pass the properties defined in the user-configuration-file to the specialized configuration files.
Any ideas to achieve this?
Thanx

Thank you very much to all for the replies.
Ok, I can read the specialized-configuration-file into a Properties object, then read the user-configuration-file and merge the appropriate properties to get a complete Properties object.
If the library/framework can't be configured with the Properties object, then I will need to write down the properties into a new file and tell the library/framework to load that file.
I have used Properties objects and files before, but I don't have experience with xml configuration files.
Is the same applicable to xml files?
How can I load a XML files to an object and then update/add a particular property?.
If that's possible, then: how can I write down the XML object to a new file?
thanx

How to generate an XML Configuration File for EBS Source Type

Hi,
We have installed SES, I want to integrate it to enable for searching repository contracts.
In the sources I have selected oracle.apps.okc.repository.textsearch.server.RepHeaderSearchExpVO.
For this source I need to specify the Configuration URL.
Here I need to provide the path for configuration XML file. But before that I need to generate the XML Configuration file.
Is there any steps on how we can create this XML file.
like I would want to know how we can create the XML file and on which folder on the server should I be putting it
Thanks

Hi there,
We are running into same issue and need the exact same information. Can someone help with this question on priority?

How to create multiple pof configuration files for c# client

Is there a way to have multiple pof files for c# coherence client?
Can I create a file called my-pof-config.xml with the following line...
<pof-config xmlns="http://schemas.tangosol.com/pof">
<user-type-list>
<include>assembly://Coherence/Tangosol.Config/coherence-pof-config.xml</include>
<include>file://pof-config.xml</include>
and here is what pof-config.xml file look like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pof-config xmlns="http://schemas.tangosol.com/pof">
<user-type-list>
In my C# visual studio project, this is where I load my-pof-config.xml in app.config
<coherence>
<cache-factory-config>coherence.xml</cache-factory-config>
<cache-config>coherence-cache-config.xml</cache-config>
<pof-config>my-pof-config.xml</pof-config>
</coherence>
and this is what I saw in the log...
2012-02-23 14:35:35,529 DEBUG Coherence (null) - 2012-02-23 14:35:35.529 level(thread=System.Threading.Thread): Loaded POF configuration from "FileResource(Uri = file://my-pof-config.xml, AbsolutePath = D:\worktrees\ads\mainline\v2\ads\demos_cs\build\my-pof-config.xml)"

I don't see pof-config.xml is loaded at "Loaded included POF configuration....". How do I get around it so I can load multiple pof configuration files for c# client?

Hi,
Not sure about C# but I would suggest try removing file:// from
<include>file://pof-config.xml</include>and keep pof-config.xml and my-pof-config.xml in the same directory.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Log4j: XML configuration file problem

Hello,
I set up some logging in my existing application with log4j and an xml configuration file. Now I made some changes to my package structure, and some problems occured. So I thougt of setting the logging level of one of my loggers (named myapp.iointerface.DBAccess in the config file). So the only change I did was adding a <param name="Level" value="TRACE"/> to my logger. Now, log4j complains when it reads the configruation file:
log4j:WARN Continuable parsing error 36 and column 11
log4j:WARN The content of element type "logger" must match "(level?,appender-ref*)".My config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Thx,
Julien

If you look at the error, the parser expects level and not Level
So :
<param name="Level" value="TRACE"/>should be :
<param name="level" value="TRACE"/>Same goes for :
<param name="Level" value="DEBUG"/>That will solve the problem (even though it is not a critical error)!

How to select a Hibenrate configuration file for web application/junit?

Dear all,
I am using hibernate for a web application.
I have two configuration files: one ("hibernate-jta.cfg.xml") uses a data source and the other ("hibernate.cfg.xml") directly uses jdbc.
private static String CONFIG_FILE = "hibernate-jta.cfg.xml"; private static String CONFIG_FILE_WITHOUT_DATASOURCE = "hibernate.cfg.xml";
When I deplyed my applcation to an application server, I need to use the first one. When I run junit test, I need to use the second one.
How can I design a mecanism to switch between the two configuration files according the the case: web application or java stand alone application?
Configuration cfg = new Configuration(); cfg.configure(CONFIG_FILE);
Thanks.
Pengyou

My solution is to add a new public method "initFactoryForJunit() " in the Static singleton.
In the junit test, this method will be invoked in order to load a second configuration file.
public class ThreadsafeSessionFactory {
     private static Logger log = Logger
               .getLogger(ThreadsafeSessionFactory.class);
     private static String CONFIG_FILE = "hibernate-jta.cfg.xml";
     private static String CONFIG_FILE_FOR_JUNIT = "hibernate.cfg.xml";
     private static final Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
     private static org.hibernate.SessionFactory sessionFactory;

Disable Passcode via Configurator

I am in the process of setting up 48 Ipads in a school enviroment. I am using configurator and a Mac mini for the provision and profile management. I have setup a base image with just a plain IO7 installation as I want to control all the apps via configurator. The only problem I have at the moment is the IOS7 passcode feature. It keeps prompting the user to enter a passcode and gives an hour time limit for them to do so. If i turn it off manually on the device it goes away but as soon as it is synced again with configurator it does the same thing again. Is there a way of disabling this feature via configurator? I have looked through the options and nothing jumps out at me as the way of doing this....

See varjak paw's post in :
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5988750?tstart=0
you need ios 7.1.

How can I "touch" a configuration file?

I have a program that is used to write a configuration file. I am using the "Configuration File VIs" that came with LabVIEW 8 to manage the configuration file. I have the "Create file if necessary" boolean input wired to "True" for the "Open Config Data" VI, but I am still getting an error about the file not being found.
The VI should do the following:
Reads the data file in the current VI's directory, "config.cfg."
If the file doesn't exist, then create the file and pass the default values to the controls on the front panel.
If the file does exist then read the data file and pass the saved values to the controls on the front panel.
User adjusts the values on the front panel and clicks on "Ok" or "Cancel"
If the user clicks on "Ok" then save the values in the controls from the front panel into the configuration file.
If the user clicks on "Cancel" then do nothing.
Close the configuration file.
Why isn't it creating the necessary file when I first run this VI? Is there anyway I can initialize a configuration file?
Thanks!

I personally always use a different approach. I have usually an application development directory structure similar to this.
MyApplication
    <myapplication>.ini
    support
          <clean myapplication>.ini
          <myapplication>.ico
topLevel.llb
          Startup Splashscreen.vi
          Get App Root Directory.vi
          Get App Configuration Path.vi
         <some other VIs needed in the startup and intialization of my program>
     <other function specific subdirectories such as GUI, config, FileIO, DAQ, serial, etc.>
Basically Get App Root Directory.vi always strips the Current VIs path
twice and is used by Get App Configuration Path.vi to build the ini
file path and possibly by others VIs to build specific additional
support subdirectories that the installer might create. Since Get App
Root Directory is one level below the root directory in the development
environment its relative position to the root directory is always the
same irrespective of LabVIEW development system execution or
Application execution.
The <myapplication>.ini is used by the application during
debugging etc, and the <clean myapplication>.ini file is used by
the Application Builder/Project Manager to include in the application
and contains the settings as I want them to appear after first
installation on the customers system.

How to Document a FieldPoint Configuration File (*.iak)

Hello there,
Is there a quick and easy way to generate a human readable FieldPoint Configuration File?
I'm documenting an existing system from scratch and I can't see an easy way to do this, apart from captured screen shots from MAX - which is tedious! Perhaps I'm missing something but various PLC tools I've used in the past, have made this process very easy.
Regards,
ChromaBurst

There is not a method to see the bit masks of the channels outside of Measurement & Automation Explorer, however, using the FP Get Configuration Info.vi you have the ability to see the item list. I agree it would be nice to see more details of the .iak file in LabVIEW. I will file a product suggestion for this, and if you would like to also file one follow the following link and select "Product Feedback":

How to enforce a different configuration file while invoking SAPShcut.exe

I'm using sapshcut.exe to logon to SAP. Following is syntax of command that Iu2019m using for that prupose:
sapshcut.exe /sysname=IDES /client=800 /user=xxxx /pwd=yyyy
By default, the configuration file (saplogon.ini) that is being used during this process by sapshcut.exe is located in user directory (SAP GUI 7.2). However, Iu2019d like to use a different configuration file that is located at other location (e.g., h:/test/saplogon.ini). SAP has mentioned to use additional parameter "INI_FILE" for that purposes so Iu2019m using following command:
sapshcut.exe /sysname=IDES /client=800 /user=xxxx /pwd=yyyy /INI_FILE=h:/test/saplogon.ini
No matter what value I defined for the u2018INI_FILEu2019 parameter, SAP ignores it and always uses default configuration file located in the user directory and if given SAP system does not exist in that configuration file then I report an error. Interestingly, I found that if use 'saplogon.exe' instead of 'sapshcut.exe' and provide same parameter value for 'INI_FILE' parameter then SAP overwrite the default configuration file and uses saplogon.ini defined there. But i cannot use saplogon.exe as I must have to use sapchcut.exe to directly log into SAP system for automation testing.
I've also found out that the only way sapshcut.exe can overwrite the default ini file is through the use of environment variable "SAPLOGON_INI_FILE". But rather than using environment variable I'd like to define configuration file during the command line.
Any help would be really appreciated.

We stumbled upon the same problem. Thank you for mentioning that using the environment variable works.
This leads to the following single command line as a workaround.
First set the needed saplogon.ini and then execute in a nested command shell the call to sapshcut.exe
cmd /c set SAPLOGON_INI_FILE=C:\config\saplogon.ini & cmd /c "%ProgramFiles%\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\sapshcut.exe" -user= -pw= -language=E -system=XXX -client=100
This works, but only if there is not already an instance of saplogon.exe running with a different saplogon.ini.
Best regards,
Axel.

How to disable TNEF/winmal.dat files in outgoing emails?

We are using javamail to send emails with excel files to users. Right now some of the users are geting winmail.dat files instead of the xls files. What is the configuration entry or what do I need to do to disable TNEF messages?
I have been looking for information on this all over the Sun Javamail site and I can't find it. Something tells me its really easy.
Thanks,
JoelInDallas.

Right now some of the users are geting winmail.dat files instead of the xls files.Do you use MS Exchange/MS Outlook in your environment?
What is the configuration entry or what do I need to do to disable TNEF messages?That would depend on what is causing the TNEF attachment to be created. Rarely do I see any non-Microsoft product generating a winmail.dat attachment as TNEF it is a proprietary Microsoft protocol.

This only turns off the proxy server in IE/Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Lan Settings.
Can I get this same code to turn of the 'Automatic configuration' check boxes instead or as well?
Many thanks

I am not sure if understood your question properly;however my thoughts here
If you need the approval process -workflow then use IP to load flat files and STS (status and tracking system) as workflow concept(manager approving the data).
For monitoring you can install BI Admin Cockpit .
All of the aforementioned process can be achived via WEB.
