HI Poonan,
If u run any program in background it will log file will contain all the messages which is occured during the progrm run .
It may contin SAP standrad messages or else messages form ur custom program.
e.g beloW
Date       Time     Message text                                                                                Message class Message no. Message type

Sending log files for scheduled jobs as attachment through mail

Hi All,
Can any one please help me out to write a pl/sql program to send log files for scheduled jobs as attachment through mail.
Thanks.

Why would anyone do that as this code has already been posted here a thousand times, it is all over the Internet, and the only thing you need to do is to search for it?
I agree it would cost you some effort, but you are getting paid for it, and we are not getting paid for delivering it on a golden plate on your doorstep, as you can not be bothered to use online resources.

Creation of file through batch job scheduling

Hi friends,
I have a situation where I need to select vendor / customer and after that I need to select one of the option between invoice or payments when User select vendor then it should create a file through schedule batch job .
I am not getting how to do it .
Please help me if any one knows about it.
Thanks in advance.
Gaurav

Which part? The creation of the file? Since running in background, you would need to create the file using DATASET statements on the appliation server. You will not be able to put the file on any frontend PC or server, only on the application server where you program is running.

Find errors logged from oracle batch job...

Hi,
I have a batch job that calls a procedure.. code is as under
begin
sys.dbms_job.submit(job => :job,
                      what => 'begin
                                   delete_stale_data;
                                    end;',
                      next_date => to_date('29-06-2006 05:33:28', 'dd-mm-yyyy h24:mi:ss'),
                      interval => 'sysdate+(30/1440)');
commit;
end;Now, how can i get to view the error messages if
1) procedure runs into an exception and hence job is not executed
2) if job runs into some problem due to which it is not completed..
Thanks,
JP

"Viewing errors" is the wrong term to use - it assumes that there are devices like STDERR and STDOUT in Oracle that is written to when an error occurs.
There are no such devices in Oracle. Oracle itself will record system related errors (and messages) to the alert log of the database instance. Custom PL/SQL code can also write to the alert log using an undocumented call - but it is a very poor idea as the alert log is for the DBA to deal with system errors. Not with someone's application errors.
The correct method is to implement an application logging PL/SQL interface (package) that allows applications to log errors and warnings and messages (including debug stuff). The basic method of this API implementation is to create a log table and write messages (from applications) to this table using autonomous transactions. The API call can also record the system date/time, the current PL/SQL stack trace, client session details, etc.
Using such an API, you would schedule the job as follows:
Method 1:
The job becomes broken after 16 repeated failures (the exception is re-raised in order for DBMS_JOB to deal with it).
sys.dbms_job.submit(job => :job,
what => 'begin
delete_stale_data;
exception when OTHERS then
APPLOG.CriticalError( 'Error occured running DELETE_STALE_DATA', SQLCODE );
raise;
end;',
next_date => to_date('29-06-2006 05:33:28', 'dd-mm-yyyy h24:mi:ss'),
interval => 'sysdate+(30/1440)');
Method 2:
The job will never break. The exception is supressed and DBMS_JOB will not know that any errors occurred:
sys.dbms_job.submit(job => :job,
what => 'begin
delete_stale_data;
exception when OTHERS then
APPLOG.CriticalError( 'Error occured running DELETE_STALE_DATA', SQLCODE );
end;',
next_date => to_date('29-06-2006 05:33:28', 'dd-mm-yyyy h24:mi:ss'),
interval => 'sysdate+(30/1440)');

DBMS_DATAPUMP; how to get the log file of a job?

Hi
I want the user to be able to see the logfile of his job from another session.
this is my procedure
create or replace procedure get_job_log (p_job_name IN varchar2 )
is
hdl_job number;
l_job_state     VARCHAR2 (20);
l_status        sys.ku$_Status1010;
l_job_status    sys.ku$_JobStatus1010;
l_job_logentry sys.ku$_LogEntry1010;
l_job_logline sys.ku$_LogLine1010;
begin
hdl_job := DBMS_DATAPUMP.ATTACH(
                                     job_name   => p_job_name
                                    ,job_owner => 'CLONE_USER'
DBMS_DATAPUMP.GET_STATUS(
   handle => hdl_job
   ,mask   => dbms_datapump.ku$_status_job_error + dbms_datapump.ku$_status_job_status + dbms_datapump.ku$_status_wip
   --,timeout   => 15
   ,job_state =>l_job_state
   ,status    =>l_status);
l_job_logentry:=l_status.wip ;
for x in l_job_logentry.first .. l_job_logentry.last loop
   dbms_output.put_line (l_job_logentry(x).LogText) ;
end loop;
dbms_datapump.detach(hdl_job);
end;
/when I run it for the first time, it works... kindof...
but my problem is that if I try running it again I get:
ORA-31626: job does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 79
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 902
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 3407
if I close sqlplus session , open new one and run - it works. So what is the issue here? Is detach not enough? What else should I do?
my version is 11.1.0.6
UPDATE.
Looks like the above is not true. It doesn't error if it runs to the end of code... The problem seems to happen only when exception occures and .detach is not called. So this is not an issue anymore.
But I still don't get a decent performance from the .get_status function. Sometimes it just hangs and errors on timeout.
Still the question is: How can I get the LOG of the session using DBMS_DATAPUMP from another session and output it on the screen?...

I believe I found a solution
I am now running the above code only 1 time but in a loop and inserting output into a table, so that user can query the table and see where the job is
here's the code I'm using (partially copied from http://psoug.org/reference/dbms_datapump.html)
l_job_state:='UNDEFINED';
while (l_job_state != 'COMPLETED') and (l_job_state != 'STOPPED') loop
     DBMS_DATAPUMP.GET_STATUS(
        handle => hdl_job
       ,mask   => dbms_datapump.ku$_status_job_error + dbms_datapump.ku$_status_job_status + dbms_datapump.ku$_status_wip
     --,timeout   => 15
       ,job_state =>l_job_state
       ,status    =>l_status);
     if (bitand(l_status.mask,dbms_datapump.ku$_status_wip) != 0) then
       l_job_logentry:=l_status.wip ;
       if (l_job_logentry is not null) then
            for x in l_job_logentry.first .. l_job_logentry.last loop
                --dbms_output.put_line (l_job_logentry(x).LogText ) ;
                writelog (l_job_logentry(x).LogText );
            end loop;
       end if;
     end if;
     if (bitand(l_status.mask,dbms_datapump.ku$_status_job_error) != 0) then

Capturing log files from multiple .ps1 scripts called from within a .bat file

I am trying to invoke multiple instances of a powershell script and capture individual log files from each of them. I can start the multiple instances by calling 'start powershell' several times, but am unable to capture logging. If I use 'call powershell'
I can capture the log files, but the batch file won't continue until that current 'call powershell' has completed.
ie. within Test.bat
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > a.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > b.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > c.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > d.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > e.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > f.log 2>&1
the log files get created but are empty. If I invoke 'call' instead of start I get the log data, but I need them to run in parallel, not sequentially.
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > a.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > b.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > c.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > d.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > e.log 2>&1
Any suggestions of how to get this to work?

Batch files are sequential by design (batch up a bunch of statements and execute them). Call doesn't run in a different process, so when you use it the batch file waits for it to exit. From CALL:
Calls one batch program from another without stopping the parent batch program
I was hoping for the documentation to say the batch file waits for CALL to return, but this is as close as it gets.
Start(.exe), "Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command". The reason it runs in parallel is once it starts the target application start.exe ends and the batch file continues. It has no idea about the powershell.exe process
that you kicked off. Because of this reason, you can't pipe the output.
Update: I was wrong, you can totally redirect the output of what you run with start.exe.
How about instead of running a batch file you run a PowerShell script? You can run script blocks or call individual scripts in parallel with the
Start-Job cmdlet.
You can monitor the jobs and when they complete, pipe them to
Receive-Job to see their output.
For example:
$sb = {
Write-Output "Hello"
Sleep -seconds 10
Write-Output "Goodbye"
Start-Job -Scriptblock $sb
Start-Job -Scriptblock $sb
Here's a script that runs the scriptblock $sb. The script block outputs the text "Hello", waits for 10 seconds, and then outputs the text "Goodbye"
Then it starts two jobs (in this case I'm running the same script block)
When you run this you receive this for output:
PS> $sb = {
>> Write-Output "Hello"
>> Sleep -Seconds 10
>> Write-Output "Goodbye"
>> }
>>
PS> Start-Job -Scriptblock $sb
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 Running True localhost ...
PS> Start-Job -Scriptblock $sb
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
3 Job3 Running True localhost ...
PS>
When you run Start-Job it will execute your script or scriptblock in a new process and continue to the next line in the script.
You can see the jobs with
Get-Job:
PS> Get-Job
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 Running True localhost ...
3 Job3 Running True localhost ...
OK, that's great. But we need to know when the job's done. The Job's Status property will tell us this (we're looking for a status of "Completed"), we can build a loop and check:
$Completed = $false
while (!$Completed) {
# get all the jobs that haven't yet completed
$jobs = Get-Job | where {$_.State.ToString() -ne "Completed"} # if Get-Job doesn't return any jobs (i.e. they are all completed)
if ($jobs -eq $null) {
$Completed=$true
} # otherwise update the screen
else {
Write-Output "Waiting for $($jobs.Count) jobs"
sleep -s 1
This will output something like this:
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
When it's done, we can see the jobs have completed:
PS> Get-Job
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 Completed True localhost ...
3 Job3 Completed True localhost ...
PS>
Now at this point we could pipe the jobs to Receive-Job:
PS> Get-Job | Receive-Job
Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
PS>
But as you can see it's not obvious which script is which. In your real scripts you could include some identifiers to distinguish them.
Another way would be to grab the output of each job one at a time:
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
$job | Receive-Job
If you store the output in a variable or save to a log file with Out-File. The trick is matching up the jobs to the output. Something like this may work:
$a_sb = {
Write-Output "Hello A"
Sleep -Seconds 10
Write-Output "Goodbye A"
$b_sb = {
Write-Output "Hello B"
Sleep -Seconds 5
Write-Output "Goodbye B"
$job = Start-Job -Scriptblock $a_sb
$a_log = $job.Name
$job = Start-Job -Scriptblock $b_sb
$b_log = $job.Name
$Completed = $false
while (!$Completed) {
$jobs = Get-Job | where {$_.State.ToString() -ne "Completed"}
if ($jobs -eq $null) {
$Completed=$true
else {
Write-Output "Waiting for $($jobs.Count) jobs"
sleep -s 1
Get-Job | where {$_.Name -eq $a_log} | Receive-Job | Out-File .\a.log
Get-Job | where {$_.Name -eq $b_log} | Receive-Job | Out-File .\b.log
If you check out the folder you'll see the log files, and they contain the script contents:
PS> dir *.log
Directory: C:\Users\jwarren
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
-a--- 1/15/2014 7:53 PM 42 a.log
-a--- 1/15/2014 7:53 PM 42 b.log
PS> Get-Content .\a.log
Hello A
Goodbye A
PS> Get-Content .\b.log
Hello B
Goodbye B
PS>
The trouble though is you won't get a log file until the job has completed. If you use your log files to monitor progress this may not be suitable.

Adobe 9.5 deletes log files - need to turn off creation of log files

We have a bunch of files from SAS outputs that include a .sas, .rtf, .log extensions.
When we try to convert a batch of the .rtf files to PDF by right clicking on them, the .log files are deleted. The originals are not Adobe .log files, but required files from the SAS output.
I have unchecked "Delete Log Files for Successful jobs" in both Distiller and the Adobe printer preferences.
It only deletes the .log with the same name as file types associated with Word. If I create .txt or xls files and .log files with the same name (i.e. test.txt and test.log) it does not delete the .log file, but it is overwritten by the Adobe log.
This happens whether the file is local or on a mapped network drive.
If I save to a different location, the .log is not deleted or overwritten, but that is really just a workaround. It's doable if it's the only option.
They can also copy only the .rtf files to another folder and copy the .pdf files back after, but this is alot of extra work for high volumes
This is an ongoing need involving lots of files, so moving or renaming is not an option, even with batch programs.
What I really need to do is stop Adobe from creating AND deleting log files or force it to create the .log files in a different location than the original. Unless the problem is Word, but I cannot find any information on this problem.
Thanks
Mike

Package processing in CCM (AUTH_UPDATE batch-job)

Hello all
We're using CCM 2.0 with SP03. We send CatalogueUpdateNotification_in messages (in XML format) to our XI and route it 1:1 to our CCM system. There it is processed by an async started AUTH_UPDATE batch-job. This job finally processes our catalog items.
As log as this batch-job runs the concerned catalog being updated is locked for other updates. And this is what causes us some head aches!
We send XML messages containing up to 2000 catalog items. This makes the batch job run quite long (up to 1.5h). Now, when we have more than 2000 updates to send to our catalog, we split it up into packages with up to 2000 items each.
Each package being sent from XI to CCM creates such a AUTH_UPDATE batch-job. The 1st starting is able to lock the catalog but this way of course also blocks processing of all other packages.
Every single minute the next (waiting / blocked) package tries to lock the catalog itself before it can be processed. This ensures parallel update processings but the other way around it also causes to fall into a timeout after lets say ca. 30 retries.
From XI point of view the timedout out package(s) sent to CCM were successfully processed... means: not restartable!
In CCM I can't find a way trying to re-process such a timedout package.
Re-generating the same package from the source system is not an option for us as well... it takes to much efforts.
Is there a way to change the wait time between retrying to lock the catalog?
OR
Is there a way to ensure that only 1 AUTH_UPDATE batch-job is started at the same time?
Thanks for some ideas to solve this.

Publications - Successful job run - View Log File

Hi everyone,
We have a growing number of Publication (based on Webi documents) that are scheduled and I want to report on Errors & Warnings.
When a Job Fails, I can use our Auditing universe and get visibility of the failure reason. When a Job is Successful but there are warning within the Log File - I don't know how to access this information bar manually having to check each Log file which is not feasible.
i.e. This snapshot of the History of a publication looks like all three publications were successful:
The actual jobs ran HOWEVER the one @ 10:00 shows a Warning when you dig into the Log file:
- There are no schedulable documents in the publication. (FBE60503)
2014-04-03 10:00:17,552 WARN [PublishingService:HandlerPool-61] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminLog_Instance_1633706 - [Publication ID # 1633706] - Unable to find any distributable documents in scope batch
Notifications are of no use to me here, they flag a Successful job even though a warning exits and no documents were sent.
Do you know if you can access these Publication Admin Log xxxxxxxx files and generate reports on them?
Many thanks
Gill

Hi RC,
The issue is not the reports failing, the issue is around reporting on such failures.
Do you know if you can access these Publication Admin Log xxxxxxxx files and generate reports on them?

Display error message in batch job log

Hello
I have a batch job running and I have an error coming during some validation logic.
The problem is I need to continue the batch job when this error message comes and it should not cancel the batch job as it is doing currently but display that error message in batch job log, there are more similar error messages coming in job log and job gets finished, but when my error message comes job gets cancelled.
I cannot give it as info message as it will give wrong idea about message type.
Is there any FM by which we can add message in job log?

Sanjeev I have done that but problem is I do not want to give that as Information message but Error message only and continue processing.
If you see in screenshot 3rd message is given by me as information and you can see error messages also 6th and 7th and job continued till it is finished
Basically I want that 'I' to be displayed as 'E'.

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.
Best Regards,
Ben

How to schedule a batch job to generate security audit log (SM20)

May be this is a repeat question for this forum. Apologize, if it is. Is there a way to schedule a batch job to generate security audit log (SM20) automatically and possibly send a message to SAP Inbox or generate a spool request? Release is 4.6C.
Regards
Nirmal

> May be this is a repeat question for this forum. Apologize, if it is.
You don't need to apologize. You only need to do a very simple search...
> Total Questions: 18 (16 unresolved)
Perhaps 16 of those 18 questions you have not followed up on could have been spared as well?
Please do the needfull.

How can I search for details in job log files

Hi,
I'm looking for a specific entry in the job log. I don't know when it was written (other than the date), to find the log without trial and error, I need a specific time to open the correct one in IDC.
The entry was written by the modifyADSuser pass and it would have an userID tag in the log file but there are many hundreds a day for me to hunt through. If I could find where identity center pulls the log files from I could either use a SQL select (if it's held in the database) or text search (if it's held in a folder) to zero in on the correct log file. Does anyone know where the information that's shown in the IDC job logs is stored?
Thanks,
Pete

Thanks for the response, I checked MC_LOGS and that looks to be the same detail that is available in the management console, basically the rows displayed in the job log. Do you know the table relationship after MC_LOGS, what's the tale name for the data (even if encrypted) that details each pass etc?
Thanks,
Pete

Data Services 4.0 Designer. Job Execution but empty log file no matter what

Hi all,
am running DS 4.0. When i execute my batch_job via designer, log window pops up but is blank. i.e. cannot see any trace messages.
doesn't matter if i select "Print all trace messages" in execution properties.
Jobserver is running on a seperate server. The only thing i have locally is just my designer.
if i log into the Data Services management console and select the job server, i can see trace and error logs from the job. So i guess what i need is for this stuff to show up in my designer?
Did i miss a step somewhere?
can't find anything in docs about this.
thanks
