How to - write oracle logs to syslog

Is there a method for writing some/all of the logs produced by oracle in syslog format? In the
SANS oracle security class it was suggested to write oracle logs using syslog on unix systems.
I am running 10g on RedHat.
Has anyone done this before? Any pointers to reference material? My google search for
variations of - syslog oracle unix logs was not helpful.
thanks

Is there a method for writing some/all of the logs produced by oracle in syslog format?What type of logs do you mean?
Maybe following link will help you (Documentation - New Features):
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14266/whatsnew.htm#sthref34
This is example if you want put all messages from alert log to syslog.
You could use "logger" command for this purpose.
For example create startup script (in /etc/init.d/ directory) which will execute (as root) following command:
tail -f /path/to/oracle/bdump/alert_<SID>.log | logger &Now all actions will be logged in alert log and also in system logs.
This example has at least one disadvantage:
If you remove alert log tail will loose the pointer for file - no new messages in system logs.
For more info execute "man logger" from shell.

How to write error log while creating invoice and avoid implicite commit

Hi,
I've have written code in exit RV60AFZZ in which I check for some possible errors while invoicing via VF01/VF04. If conditions are met then we create error message and display it to the user. As result we had a lot of missing SD invoices in FI when we did batch/mass invoicing. I've opened OSS note and SAP support team wrote that using statement MESSAGE is forbidden in UE. It can lead to implicite commits.
Do you have some example how to write error log for invoincing in VF01/VF04 transactions?
Thanks

@ sri nath. Please read post before answering. I wouldn't be posting trivial questions. As I wrote before it doesn't work. Also SAP support would not answer to the question in my OSS.
In VOFM, SAP is using routine VBFS_HINZUFUEGEN_ALLG to write to error log.
Mine is something like this in ue:
      PERFORM ZVBFS_HINZUFUEGEN_ALLG
                 USING VBAP-VBELN VBAP-POSNR 'ZSD' 'E '600'
                       SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE.
(we have custom message class)
As result XVBFS and VBSK are filled with error, but posting is also done. Error log is filled but invoice is created and posted in FI.
That is not OK.
thanks

Any help or suggestion is well appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your kind cooperation.

i take an example..
i have a function or procedure, i executed it in some pl/sql block. and its generating some error.
if i want to check, where is problem or which error generated, can i check it from logs.
i want to use the oracle logs in daily practice while writing procedure and function or pl/sql pr sql statements.
That error which is generated by some user-defined program is not an error that would be considered to go into the database logs(alert.log etc) but it would be passed on to the calling environment and based on that environment, that error details would be displayed. Have you not seen such error details shown while doing the coding of such programs? If you need to go more than that you would need to include some additional bits of code like dbms_utility and may have to call it's procedure format_error_backtrace .
Just my 2 cents.

How to write oracle output in XML

can any one please let me know how to write or covert procedure or function output in XML?

Are you wanting to take output from a procedure/function that is in XML format and then convert it to something else?
Are you wanting to get the procedure/function to produce output in XML format?
Are you wanting to take an existing procedure/function and convert it so the code is stored in some XML structure for some purpose?
How is anybody supposed to know what you're talking about if you don't explain it?

How to write Oracle EBS/Forms script results to Excel spreadsheet?

Hi All,
I developed a scripts that tests hundreds of forms and my idea is to output specific test results into a Excel spreadsheet.
I like the Basic and Functional Test Reports...but if I send it to other people they have difficulties to get required information out if it.
My plan is to use "info", "warn" and "fail" statements to populate the spreadsheet.
Does anyone has any idea how to accomplish this?
Regards,
Michael

Something like that:
import oracle.oats.scripting.modules.webdom.api.elements.DOMTable;
          // in initialize section only
          DOMTable maTable = null;
          // column number in the excel spreadsheet. Whatever you want here
          int myColumn = 1;
          // After each action you want to export the result
          getVariables().set("myResult", "{{result.code}}",
                    Variables.Scope.GLOBAL);
          // getIteration().getTotalIterationsCompleted() is equal to the iteration number
          String myResult = eval("{{myResult}}");
          maTable.storeCell(myResult, getIteration().getTotalIterationsCompleted(), myColumn);
          // in the finish section
          maTable.exportToCSVFile("c:\\temp\\export.csv", false);
But it would be quite tough to implement.
Why not exporting the report into Excel and transform it using macro? (don't know macro BTW :) )

[SOLVED] Writting to log file on Oracle AS in ADF BC

Hi!
I'm trying to write some information to any of the log files on Oracle Application Server but can't seem to get it working.
I have a http servlet class in which I try to log records like this:
Logger loLogger = Logger.getAnonymousLogger();
loLogger.info("HttpServlet: doGet start!");This code displays
1.4.2008 9:44:02 package.HttpServlet doGet
INFO: HttpServlet: doGet start!
in JDeveloper output window, but after deployment to AS it is not written to any of the files. I do not use a custom logger or log files in my application so my question is: how can I write information to any of the log files on AS (for example logs in <ORACLE_HOME>\opmn\logs folder or in log.xml file in oc4j folder of j2ee home log)?
I've been reading about j2ee logging but as I said, can't get it to work. Are there any ADF classes to do this?
Thanks,
regards!

Hi!
Thank you both for your effort. Both ways work now, I messed something up at the beginning.
Logger loLogger = Logger.getAnonymousLogger();
loLogger.info("method start!");writes to 'default_group~home~default_group~1.log' file in opmn/logs directory, while
ADFLogger loADFLogger = ADFLogger.createADFLogger("oracle");
loADFLogger.log(ADFLogger.NOTIFICATION, "method start!");writes to 'log.xml' in j2ee\home\log\home_default_group_1\oc4j directory.
Now I just have to decide which is better for me ;).

How to write to a log file within a JSP

Hello everybody,
do you know how to write to a log file within a JSP.
my code is (/space/SP/tlf/ExcepcionJava.jsp):
<html>
<body bgColor=#C4E1FF>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
     FileWriter salida = new FileWriter(response.encodeURL("log.txt"));
     salida.write(request.getParameter("errorMsg"));
     salida.close();
%>
</body>
</html>.. I run under Solaris, Jrun 2.3.3
I have also test with getServletContext().getRealPath(), but I get /netsrv/nes/docs/ instead of /space/SP/tlf/

Hi,
Give the full path of the log file to the FileWriter. Such as;
FileWriter salida = new FileWriter(response.encodeURL("/usr/local/tomcat/logs/testlogs/log.txt"));

How to write log information into SM37 batch job log

Hi,
I have a report running in batch mode, and I would like to log the start time and end time for some part of the code (different Function modules). I need to write this log information into the batch job log. Therefore I can check the time frame of my FMs.
After search the SDN, I can only get some information on how to write log into the application log displayed in SLG1, but that's not I want. I want to write batch log information, and check it in SM37.
If you have some solution or code to share, please. Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Ben

Hi Nitin
Thanks for the reply. Could you explain it with some code ?
I tried to use the write statement , but it did not wrok. I could not see the result in SM37.
write : "start of the FM1 processing".
FM1 code
write : "end of the FM1 processing".
but those two statement did not show in SM37..
1) how to use a information message ?
2) how to use NEW PAGE PRINT ON and PRINT OFF command. ?
I would appreciate if you can write some code ,that I can use directly.
Thanks a lot.

How to Write log messages in a text file located in another machine

Basically My application is distributed across two or more tomcat servers running in multiple machines.And I get a log4j logs in the respective machines.
But I want a consolidated log message in a single machine.
How do i get that done??
Any samples?? Any clues??
Any specific technoliges??

Create an RMI application (for example) that writes the log, and let all logging calls call that remote application.
Something like that is the only feasible way that doesn't require you to have a drive on the remote machine mapped to the local one (which causes its own problems as you could have multiple simultaneous write attempts...).
