Logging to console and file

Hello,
I'd like to enable logging in my enterprise application's ear (from my session beans) and war (from my backing beans) modules and log to console and also a file. I couldn't find satisfactory help on the subject. So far I have enabled loggin to console by using lo4j, but can't enable logging to a file. I have also seen advice to use JMS, but couldn't figure out how this should be done. Your help is very welcome, thank you!
I'm using Sun Application Server 9 with EJB 3, log4j1.2.12, JDK1.6.

I still couldn't find the appropriate solution. What I'm trying to do is (apart from logging to console) enable log4j logging to different files from
-an EJB app
-WebServices using the above EJB
-a web (war) app, using the above webservices.
Can you please help me setting up log4j to enable all my application components to log to different files?
I only suceeded with my war component putting log4j.jar and log4j.properties in its WEB-INF folder, but with the others, I couldn't solve the problem. Could you please help?

I am getting a warning need more space on my disk. I have checked the Console and there have been 4000 thousand messages in my system log in the last 2 days. I have emptied as many files as possible.

Hi
I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full. I have emptied many files as well as my Trash. I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'. This is a copy of one of the items. It is from the system log. I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos. My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free? That's seriously low. With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB. MB is 1024 fold less than a GB. So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:

I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.

Incosistencies between Analyzer Server Console and stout.log file

Hi, In stout.log file of application server file there is a record: "Setting Current User Count To: 2 Users. Maximum Concurrent Licensed User Count Is: 10 Users." So 2 licences are ured, but checking "Analyer Server Console" there is only one user connected. After restarting computer "Analyzer Server Console" and stout.log number of users are sinhronized. But I don't know what happens, but after some time this two parameters are not sinhronized anymore. My problem: I have to show the number of user licences used and I am reading info rom stout.log. But something is not correct - it looks like stout.log doesn't show correct values? Do I need to specify some setting or is there a bug in code? My system: Hyperion Analytic Server version 7.1.0 Hyperion Analyzer Server version 7.0.1.8.01830 IBM DB2 Workgroup Edition version 8 fixpack 9 Tomcat version 4 Windows 2003 Server

Hi grofaty. We use 7.0.0.0.01472 and I had experienced the same behaviour, Analyzer Server Console shows one more session than stdout.log. If this difference 1 is a static value than you can assume it as an systematic bug...and do your license counting on it... But again the Analyzer Server Console is not good as it should be for productive usage because all the information is only logged online til the next application restart. E.g. it is not helpful in using it for user tracking purposes. Do you use the stdout.log in such a way or have an idea how to grep measures for session logging analysis: - Session ID - User ID - Client ID - Total Number of Requests - Average Response (sec) - Login Time - Number of concurrent sessions ?

Output .bat-file to console AND logfile.txt

Hello,
in my .bat file i have added the following to a command : >> c:\1.txt
This will log the output to 1.txt, but not to my console/screen anymore.
What is the command to have the output to the console AND 1.txt?
Thx

There isn't one that is intrinsic to cmd.exe. If you want you can either search for a unix TEE utility port to Windows or use the following hybrid VBS/batch procedure to do that ...
:: TeeExamp.cmd
@echo off
:: Setup
call :BuildVBS
:: Your command(s) goes here
dir *.txt | %TEE% > test.txt
:: cleanup & exit
del %temp%.\T.vbs & set "TEE=" & exit /b
:BuildVBS
set TEE=cscript //nologo %temp%.\T.vbs
(echo set con = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject"^)_
echo .opentextfile("con:", 2^)
echo do until wsh.stdin.atendofstream
echo s = wsh.stdin.readline
echo wsh.echo s : con.writeline s
echo loop
) > %temp%.\T.vbs

Ias console and deploy war file

Hi All,
I need to deploy a war file into EBS R12. I thought of enable the ias console and deploy. I followed the steps
1. Change $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/Apache/Apache/conf/trusted.conf file and change
[Location ~ “/ascontrol”]
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
[Location]
to
[Location ~ “/ascontrol”]
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
[Location]
2. Restart Apache
adapcctl.sh stop
adapcctl.sh start
3. Access it via
http://server:port/ascontrol
After doing the above steps, am able to open ias console. But when i go to tab oc4j-instances and click on any instance oafm or forms or oacore, its saying an error Error Mesg: Unable to login to the OC4J "default_group" on Application Server "oacore" the OC4J is not running . I checked opmnctl status, all components are running. Please let me know any suggestion on this.
Also is there any way to deploy war file from back end. I got one utility like admin_client.jar. but when i try to validate using the following command
java -jar admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:<host>:6003 oc4jadmin welcome123 -validateURI .. giving error as below
Failed at "Could not get DeploymentManager".
This is typically the result of an invalid deployer URI format being supplied, the target server not being in a started state or incorrect authentication details being supplied.
More information is available by enabling logging -- please see the Oracle Containers for J2EE Configuration and Administration Guide for details.
Valid connection_uris are:
1. To target all OC4J instances that belongs to an OC4J group in an Oracle Application Server Cluster:
deployer:cluster:[ormis:]opmn://opmnHost[:opmnPort]/oc4jGroupName
2. To target a specific OC4J instance within a cluster:
deployer:oc4j:[ormis:]opmn://opmnHost[:opmnPort]/oc4jInstanceName
deployer:oc4j:[ormis:]opmn://opmnHost[:opmnPort]/asInstanceName/oc4jInstanceName
3. To target a standalone OC4J server:
deployer:oc4j:oc4jHost:rmiPort
deployer:oc4j:ormis:oc4jHost:ormisPort
opmnPort is the OPMN request port specified in opmn.xml.
If omitted, defaults to 6003.

I cannot log in to a MAC 10.5.8 and File Vault was NOT turned on.

Dear Mac Experts:
I know that there are many pages of information about using, remembering and managing passwords. I have read most of them.I know the passwords and File Vault was not on. I am working at someone's home on their computer and running their business. The computer is running MAC 10.5.8 and I don't know if it can be updated. The computer had an Admin account and no user accounts. I tried to change this so the compuer would be secure but my client did not want to.    When I left yesterday the computer was fine. When I came in today there were a number of apps hanging. I forced quit Firefox and some other apps and logged out an shut down the computer. When I tried to log into the Admin Account which is the main user account I got the error messages below:
Your FileVault-protected home folder did not open and needs to be repaired.
click ok to repair the folder and continue logging in.
I clicked ok
then I got a new error message:
You are unable to log in to the user account "x" at this time because and error occured.
Clicked OK
File Vault was not turned on at anytime that I know of in the last couple of months. I luckily had a guest user set up and logged in as guest. In order to create another Admin account I had to use the password for the initial Admin main user account which unlocked the preferences pane and allowed me to create a new Admin Account.
   Checked that FileVault was turned off.
After reading all of your comments and suggestions for the last 2 hours my head is spinning.
I don't know unix or type commands. I don't know where the install discs are.
As the new Admin I went into the keychain files and tried to verify and repair the original Admin's info.
Here is what I got:
Verification started

The machine is backed up onto a lacie external hard drive every hour.
In addition, while I was poking around I found the following:

com.apple.systemdefault certificate

Could there be some malware at work? What can I do to get her files, home directory and everything back?
Thank you in advance for your patience with an old OS and a MAC user who does't feel comfortable mucking around under the hood.

Hi Tracy,
I don't suspect Malware yet, Id guess Disk corruption or failing Hard Drive with Files not found.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Administrator's account for logging in to the PS console (and AM console)

Hi all,
I created a new organization in my portal server using the management console. Now I'd like to create an administrator who can manage this new organization (adding/deleting channels and containers) using the PS console and manage its users (adding/deleting users, roles, ...) using the Acess Manager console. Obviously, the administrator of the new organization can't manage other organizations. I red something about delegated administrators with top-level admin role... the only administrators who can log in to the managment console of PS. Can you help me?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply.
Because of the specifics I can only use Portal 7.1 with Acess Manager in Realm Mode.
So, I have no way to login into psconsole with other administrators further than "amadmin". Do you confirm it?
But as I red in:
1) "Sun Java SystemAccess Manager 7.1 Postinstallation Guide" at page 34:
Caution � AccessManager RealmMode is enabled by default. If you are
deploying AccessManager withMessaging Server, Calendar Server,
Delegated Administrator, or InstantMessaging, you must select Legacy
Mode (AM_REALM=disabled) before you run the amconfig script.
2) "Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Administration Guide" at page 21:
Some features of AccessManager 6.3 are not available in the AccessManager 7.1 console.
Because of this, administrators can log into the 6.3 console through a 7.1 Legacy deployment.
This console is typically used where AccessManager is built upon Sun Java System Portal Server
or other Sun Java System communication products that require the use of Sun Java System
Directory Server as the central identity repository. Other features, suchDelegated
Administration and Class of Service, are accessed only through this console.
It's possible to login into AM console using delegated administrators. Do you confirm it?

Default Logging of stderr and stdout to files

Are stderr and stdout logged to a file as part of the default configuration?
Are stderr and stdout sent to weblogic.log, or to another file?
Are there parameters in the config.xml for re-directing stderr and stdout to
a file?
What should I be looking for?
Thanks in advance.
Stan

Depending on the platform, most people start Weblogic with a shell or batch
or command script that redirects stderr and stdout ... sometimes to one file
sometimes to two different files. You can use the ">" and "2>" on
DOS/Windows/Linux/Unix to redirect stdout and stderr.

after seeing this the server becomes unresponsive all services are down and nothing works for about 20mins and then a reboot would simply fixed the issue
the server is an intel based machine running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10
the thing is we are mounting a shared drive from a windows server through SMB and copied a 5MB file
the progress bar is showing zero KB and cannot be force quit and if you try to force quit this will affect all the services including the ARD agent to not function anymore
we have encounter this issue for some time now, this will also arise if copying from remote desktop by dragging the selected machine
and also copying from afp to afp seems very slow in any mac os x or server it will just copy in a speed of .5MB per second
any ideas on how to solve this issue
thanks

Windows Updates stopped SBS Console and BAckups

Hi,
I have been appointed at this company after they had moved location and it looks like since their move some windows updates were installed and now the SBS console is not working, I cannot view event viewer I get access is denied (5)and the sbs email is showing

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:

If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files?

How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files? I want to set up two profiles so my wife and I can utilize two iTunes accounts and different internet settings, but when I set up an administrator profile for her and log in. I don't see all of the stuff that is on the administrator profile (mine) that was created first

A second user account is separate; with separate preferences and data, but can share the same apps as long as they're in the top-level Applications folder, not an Applications folder inside another user's home folder.
Sharing files is a bit different; you can put them in the special Shared user folder, or grant permission to specific files/folders in one account to a different user.
