Java Runtime parameters- setting trace/log levels and enabling by default

Hi,
I have a user reporting that a Java app that I support is unexpectedly quitting, and our developers are having trouble tracking down exactly what's causing the problem.
I'm trying to enable the maximum possible logging/tracing for this user, but I don't want to have to rely on them remembering to hit '5' on the console window to enable tracing on everything. Having read through the runtime documentation, I have added the following to my JRE runtime parameters:
-Xdebug -Djavaplugin.trace=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect -Djavaplugin.outputfiles.overwrite=falseHowever, I still get nothing in the log file until I manually hit '5' on the Java console, then everything I do after that gets added to the log.
Does anyone know how can I get the maximum logging/tracing enabled by default as soon as the JRE is loaded?

>>
-Xdebug -Djavaplugin.trace=true-Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic|net|security|ext|livec
onnect
-Djavaplugin.outputfiles.overwrite=false
One problem is that -Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic
OR net etc ... pick one of the options which are
separated with pipe symbols or use "all" without
quotes.
I'm having a similar problem with Java 6 - it seem
that nothing I put in the runtime parameters takes
effect. I had to edit
/home/USERNAME/.java/deployment/deployment.properties
and add deployment.trace=true.On second thought, I could be wrong about the trace options. I really don't know if you can combine options but I did see "all" somewhere.

How to set plug-in Java Runtime parameters on JRE setup command line

Hi all:
I need to install JRE and set the Java Runtime Parameters -Xmx
by command line ..
I mean I don't want enter Control panel and set this parameter manually in Java Runtime Parameters textBox..
thanx.
Best regards
w.shiha

Documentation for controlling the installation is sadly lacking in detail. This is the best I have seen for the Windows environment:
http://java.com/en/download/help/silent_install.xml
But, there are numerous other PROPERTY variables that are not discussed. Particularly annoying is the addition of yet another JavaUpdate item with the release of 1.5.0_05. If you can get more information, please post a link to it here.

Multiple Users on one PC sharing Java Runtime Parameter setting

Is there a way to have mutiple logins share the -Smx512m setting in Java Runtime Parameters. It seems that when each person logs into the PC to use the application we have to enter the same Java Runtime Parametes again. Is there a way to add it once and every login uses it?
Thanks,
DLS

I have read the Deployment Configuration file and Properties and do not see how the -Xmx51m should be added to the deployment.properties.
Also it would seem you would need to use the deployment.system.config file so it would be used by all users on the PC.
Again I can not see an example of how to put in the "Java Runtime Parameters" in the deployment.system.properties file.
Has anyone done this before and could lead me in the correct directions?
Thanks,
DLS

How to redirect "-verbose" Java Runtime Parameter setting to text file

Simple question: I am adding a "-verbose" Java Runtime Parameter in the Java Applet Runtime Settings of the Java Control Panel. When I run my applet, a Windows console opens which outputs all the method calls, classes, and jar file information. How can I redirect this output to a text file?
I noticed Xloggc:+filename+ but there does not seem to be an equivalent for redirecting the '-verbose' output to a file.
Thanks!

Thank you both for the reply, but unfortunately that is not quite what I am looking for. The console Window I am talking about is a DOS console screen, not the Java Console
What I am really after here is the ability to redirect a thread dump of a running applet to a text file. When the applet is active, and the "-verbose" parameter is set in the Java Runtime Parameters", I can see all the classes, methods etc. being loaded in the DOS window. Hitting Ctrl-Break at that point will produce a thread dump in the DOS console screen. I would like to be able to redirect THAT output to a text file. It is not in the Java Console. To me it looks like tracing and logging are only for the Java Console, no?
Thanks again for your help.

Java runtime parameters

Hi,
Does anyone know how to programmatically set the java-runtime-parameters?
I need to set them to: "-classpath c:\jar\test.jar"
My goal is to access test.jar thru the ActiveX Bridge, and test.jar is not inside the "applet" folder. Note: ActiveX bridge uses the java plug-in which has a default path to the applet folder, I need to programmatically set a java-runtime-parameter "-classpath" to c:\jar\test.jar...
(I know that you can set the java-runtime-parameters thru control panel - java plug-in, but this will not work for what I am doing, I need to do it on the fly programmatically).
Gene.

After Java VM is launched, I don't think it is possible to change the classpath onfly. If you goal is to load test.jar on fly, you can always rely on classloader to do it. You can make your own classloader and let it to download and define the class you need.

Java Runtime Parameters patch

I currently have a signed applet which uses more than 96MB. To solve this obstacle I want to increase the memory heap. Is there any way, from a signed applet, to alter the Java Runtime Parameters? Ofcourse the user can alter the parameters but I want to take that trouble out of his hands. I am hoping to run a small "patch-applet" which adds the "-Xmx xxx" parameter to the JRE.

Where can I set the log level for the "Inbox log file" ?

From the Siebel 8 Bookshelf, it says :
"To set the level of the Inbox log file for troubleshooting
*In Siebel Tools, set the Log Level for the Inbox log file (Alias = InboxLog) to 5*."
But where exactly in Siebel Tools can I find that Log Level ? Which object does the Siebel bookshelf talk about ?

Hi,
Loglevels are not configured in Siebel Tools. You have to configure them with the siebel client. You can find a parameter at "Administration - Server Configuration / Server / Events"
Search for "Inbox General Log Events". Set this parameter to 5. It think this should help you.

Is it possible to set a log level for ID and/or IDS when opening an IDML?

We're finding that it's taking an excessive amount of time (30-45 minutes) to open somewhat larger files (~100 pages) with many hyperlinks (~10,000). Is anyone aware of a way to add a command line parameter to either Indesign.exe or IndesignServer.exe (as we use both) to set, for example, a more detailed log level to allow for seeing what is taking so long to process when opening a file? The output would presumably go to the Event Viewer or stdout / stderr in a Command Prompt.

On a Mac you either use the Activity Monitor or the Instruments application (part of the Xcode IDE) for various performance analysis down to the system calls (dtrace) and their invocation stack frames. I assume Windows provides similar tools, or you might just reproduce your problem on a spare Mac with a trial or developer license.
Let me see - yup, the technology exists on Windows - Trace Provider
Btw, InDesign (Server and Desktop) has separate "debug" builds for plugin developers with plenty internal consistency checks "assert" and debug output. For speed reasons these are stripped out from release builds, it might be worth a try if you have access to those builds. Of course they will take even longer... The above mentioned analysis via the OS may also benefit from more symbols on such development versions.
InDesign Server (even release build) also has some performance metrics available via scripting (somewhere on the app object), have you tried these?
On the other hand it could also be something unrelated - do you have any extra software (plugin, startup scripts, scripted event handlers) that could interfere? E.g. a link event handler that waits for a timeout on every $.write without connected ESTK? On one client's InDesign server farm I reduced restart times down from minutes to barely noticable just by optimizations of the startup process, before I tracked down and eliminated the bugs (in the SOAP interface and in XPath) that caused all those crashes ;-) . Of course such problems are beyond the scope of a forum, they take several days to analyze and solve, especially if they require changes of the binaries from Adobe.

Setting Java Runtime Parameters from HTML

I am launching a java program from HTML, using java plugin 142_08, and I need to set -xms and -xmx in the java plugin from the HTML that is launching the program. Is this possible to do? It is used by many various people, so it won't be easy to go into everyones computer and manually set these params.
Any ideas?

There will soon be a solution available for this problem. There is an early access program for the "6uN" consumer-focused release of Java at http://jdk6.dev.java.net/6uNea.html . Build 08, which should be out in a few days, will contain as an option a new implementation of the Java Plug-In which supports what you want. You will need to go into the Java Control Panel, Advanced Tab, Java Plug-in node, and enable it, then exit, to turn on the new plug-in. At that point you will be able to write in your applet tag
<param name="java_arguments" value="-Xmx128m"></param> for example. It has the same notion of "secure" command-line arguments as Java Web Start; using "non-secure" command line arguments requires a signed applet, but unsigned applets can utilize secure command line arguments and system properties. More documentation will be available on the new Java Plug-In soon.

JRE 1.4.2 Java Runtime Parameters

Does anyone happen to know where/how these settings are saved on a Windows OS? I'd like to write a program to automatically set this on client machines to make deployment easier as we need to set the -Xmx for each user. I've searched the registry and all files on my machine and turned up nothing. Thanks for any help/suggestions you might have.

The settings are saved in a file named
<windows
folder>\.java\properties<version>e.g.
C:\WINDOWS\.java\properties141_02. The keyname
is javaplugin.jre.params=<runtime params>.You
can see this directly, if you change the runtime
parameters in the Java plugin configuration dialog.
What version of Windows are you running and what JRE
version..only b/c it would be helpful to know if these
settings are saved in different locations depending on
versions. On Win2K Pro & XP Pro w/ JRE 1.4.2 the
settings are in the location I specified in my last
post. Thanks!Sorry, I only checked 1.4.1
My (wrong) idea was, that it wouldn't change frome 1.4.1 to 1.4.2

How do I set the logging level with the plug-in 1.4

I am writing an applet that will be hosted in the plug-in version 1.4. I'd like to set up some logging statements using the java.util.logging API. I have successfully got it to print out log messages, but it is not printing anything below level INFO. How can I set it up to print out log statements at the FINEST level?

If you are using the default logger for logging from the applet, the default log level from the logging.properties file in your JRE lib directory is the place. There is an entry
.level= INFO In this file. You can modify this entry.
This is a a roundabout way of achieving it. since we are modifying the default log level here, it will be used by other java applications as well. I am looking for a better solution.

About a trace log level of Oracle VSS Writer.

I verified the backup using the Oracle VSS Writer of Oracle11gR2.
In order to check the behavior of the Oracle VSS Writer, I want to output the trace log of Oracle VSS Writer.
However, there is the following description in the document, there is no description of the trace level.
oravssw SID [/tl trace_level]
/tl :Specifies the trace level for a Oracle VSS writer for a specified SID.
Does somebody know the value?

I'm not sure whether any version of Oracle -and you don't mention which 4 digit version you are using - is certified against Windows 2012.
So whatever hack you apply, for sure My Oracle Support will not be able to deal with any issues which may arise from this.
I'm sure you are aware Microsoft has a very bad track record on downwards compatibility, so I recommend downgrading this system to a certified version of Windows.

SSISDB Verbose Logging Level and Unexpected Terminiation

If we set the SSISDB Logging Level to Verbose, will we get more details on Unexpected Termination events?
With basic logging level, the reports for Unexpected Termination do not provide any useful information to what happened.

SNARE Logging Levels and CS-MARS

If you install SNARE on a Windows 2003 Server to push events to CS-MARS, what is the default logging level of SNARE. Somone told me that the default level of SNARE is lower then the log level that we currently have set on our Windows 2003 Server. I was under the impression that SNARE converts the string format of the event log record to text format and simply pushed the events to CS-MARS regardless of logging levels on Windows. What would happen if you did no select Allow SNARE to automatically set audit configuration and Allow SNARE to automatically set file audit configuration?. would CS-MARS still get events from windows devices?

Snare converts the binary Windows event log messages into syslog messages. I don't think the logging level (I assume you are referring to the syslog priority) is relevant to MARS. MARS sets the severity based on how it maps the event, and it doesn't consider the syslog priority AFAICT. So, you can set it to whatever you want. By default, it appears to be NOTICE.
The "Allow SNARE to automatically set file audit configuration" has nothing to do with this really. The Windows audit policy settings determine what events get logged, even to the local security event log. If an event isn't in the windows event log, it can't be sent by Snare. The audit policy settings in a domain (i.e. on a member server) are almost always done via Group Policy and Snare shouldn't be required to automatically set the configuration. That's more for standalone Windows servers.
See this link for a discussion on Windows audit policy (it's for 2000, but still relevant):
