Making syslog output more verbose

I have a few sun boxes. various versions of solaris running on them. The syslog.conf file is pretty much the same on all of them. However, some servers put more verbose information into syslog than do others. Other than syslog.conf where could I change the verbosity of the output?

Hi gbkka,
Why would you add an unnecessary option/success message in the main product? DB->verify returns 0 on success and db_verify utility exits 0 on success.
This is the beauty of open source software, you can hack Berkeley DB (for 4.7.25 release I would look in db_verify/db_verify.c - line 242) and return whatever success message you want to have for the db_verify utility.

Make pacman more verbose?

Is there a way to make pacman more verbose in showing what packages are being installed or updated?
For example, when doing a system update, you get a long list of packages that will be downloaded and installed. Most of them are packages you already have, but some may be new packages, pulled in as a new dependency of something else. I would like to more easily see if a package is a new install or an update, and what is causing the new packages to be installed.
I used to use FreeBSD, and it's ports system did this. You do a system update, and it would list all of the packages to be installed, one per line. Each line indicated whether it was an update or a new install, if it was an update it showed the old -> new version numbers, and if it was a new install it showed what package depended on it.
I haven't been able to find a way to make pacman do this, though I would be happy to be proven wrong. I've toyed with the idea of getting my hands dirty and writing some pacman patches to add this as an option, but I'd like to see if there are other solutions other people know about.

Get Script Editor to be more verbose?

Hi, all,
I just posted something in a different forum, and got back a lot of noise about warnings and error messages and such, and was told that I should be using SQL*Plus, which I've discovered is much more verbose that the APEX Script Editor results screen.
Is there a way to get that level of verbosity through the APEX Script Editor results screen? At least, can the Script Editor be set to display warnings?
Thanks!

Use the display dialog or display alert commands.

Immediately write outputs - more on modbus plus performance

more on modbus plus performance
I have more dilemmas considering modbus plus. I'm trying to reduce the unnecessary traffic as much as possible, so I've unchecked "immediately write outputs" in advanced settings for modbus plus hoping that lookout will write to plc only when modbus object is polled. However, it seems that it doesn't happen that way, looks to me like lookout is writing to plc poll or no poll. I need to cut down the traffic because I have delay in system response and I'm considering lookout's share in it.
I have a feeling that making a system with deterministic response (which should be one of mb+ highlights) is quite cumbersome and sometimes impossible.
Can anyone comment on this issue and maybe share ideas for improving modbus response time? Is there anything about modbus plus and lookout on ni.com that I'm not aware of?
Darko

By default, Lookout writes Outputs immediately (without waiting for the poll). BUT, if you uncheck the "immediately write outputs" setting, it should write only when polled. If it's not doing this, it's a bug -- can someone at NI verify this?
Couple of things you can try for improving communication performance:
1. Make sure you're not writing outputs every-so-many polls (unless you really have to). By default, Modbus Object writes the Outputs every 100th poll -- even if none of them have changed. Use the Modbus INI settings to change this behaviour:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2E64D5CF87CA6A1086256BB30070DC1A
2. If you have some IO points which don't need to be read as fast as others, use a second Modbus object for these with a slower poll rate (but on the same address, etc.).
3. Use an appropriate update deadband for your analog reads -- you can filter out "noise" from data this way. Note that the IO are still read every poll, but aren't propagated to the rest of the system unless the deadband is surpassed.
Hope this helps,

Spool output more than 255 characters

Hi ,
i am running a ALV report in background whose output is more than 255 characters . but spool is showing only 255 charcters.
Do we have any setting to change to display all characters.
Or any OSS notes that can be applied.
Thanks & regards,
Sonika Ahuja

Hi,
You need to change the Format Type through SPAD transaction. The Format Type decides the number of rows and columns per page. By creating a new format type as per your requirement would solve the probelm.
Also, in the Report declaration, change the Line-Size to 300 or as per the width of your output.
For further details pls. refer this thread :
Re: Spool List output display > 255 char when the rpt is run in Background

Is it possible to make db_recover more verbose?

If you use db_recover there seems to be never anything on the standard output. I'd like to get an info from db_recover what it has done (if anything).
db_recover -v results in nothing, if done again results in
Finding last valid log LSN: file: 1 offset 28
But I have no idea what this means.

Thanks for the additional explanation,
Normal recovery examines the contents of your environment's
log files, and uses this information to ensure that your
database files are consistent relative to the information
contained in the log files. This ensures that the changes
from each committed transaction appear in the database, and
that no changes from an unfinished (or aborted) transaction do.
Therefore if you are not using transactions/logging there is
no recovery. Hence, db_recover is not the right choice
in this case. The verbose flag is not showing anything, as
there is nothing to do. The recovery process will create a new log,
and that is what is being read on your 2nd pass.
The documentation in the Reference Guide on Berkeley DB recovery at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/reclimit.html
details how Berkeley DB recovery is based on write-ahead logging.
From that documentation:
This means that when a change is made to a database page, a
description of the change is written into a log file. This
description in the log file is guaranteed to be written to
stable storage before the database pages that were changed
are written to stable storage. This is the fundamental feature
of the logging system that makes durability and rollback work.
If the application or system crashes, the log is reviewed during
recovery. Any database changes described in the log that were
part of committed transactions and that were never written to
the actual database itself are written to the database as part of recovery.
Any database changes described in the log that were never committed
and that were written to the actual database itself
are backed-out of the database as part of recovery. This design
allows the database to be written lazily, and only blocks from
the log file have to be forced to disk as part of transaction commit.
Thanks again,
Sandra

Is it possible to make db_verify more verbose?

db_verify has no verbose flag -v yet.
If there are errors these are printed.
I'd like db_verify to output something like "DB xy verified without errors" if all was fine.

Data output more than once

Hello Experts
I'am facing a peculiar problem pertaining to Infoset query ( Tran SQ01,SQ02, SQ03) . The requirement is to create a query based on table GLPCA and CATSDB.
I've created the query as required, However when i execute the same the output is incorrect. What really happens is the Same line is repeated more than once sometimes three, four or even five times.
The Table GLPCA has two line items per document one debit and one credit, now at the most in the query i should get only these two lines and if i further filter it on the indicator there shoul be only one entry. However this is not the case even when i filter i on the posting indicator the query outputs the line item 5 times giving a wrong report.
Can somebody suggest as what could be wrong with the query
Thanks
Nelson

Hi,
Nothing is wrong with the query.
Kindly check ur join condition in SQ02
I have created its coming correct.

Report output more than 255

Hi,
I want to print my report more than 255 characters..
i was taken line size more than 255 but it gives error.
Please give me the appropriate answer.

hI..
THIS FROM SAP HELP.
REPORT <rep> LINE-SIZE <width>.
This statement determines the width of the output list of program <rep> as <width> characters. If you set <width> to zero, the system uses the width of the standard list.
The maximum line width is 1,023 characters.
A line can be up to 255 characters long. However, if you intend to print the list, note that most printers cannot print lists wider than 132 characters. If you want to print the list directly while creating it, the page width must comply with one of the existing print formats. Otherwise, the system will not print the list (see Print Parameters). Make sure not to choose a list width exceeding 132 characters, unless you create the list for display only.
While creating the list, the system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line width. To adapt the list width to the current window width, see Lists with Several Pages.

Jre 1.5 waitfor hangs windows xp if output more than 17 lines

I have seen many postings on the "waitfor" part of an external process. I am too having issues with it. For some reason when there is more than 17 lines of output, "waitfor" hangs. I am executing a simple external command to prove the point. I run the command c:\rundir.bat. All this program does is an "echo hello" multiple times (I alter the number of times to find the threshold).
Any ideas?
Code snipit:
Command is an array of 3
cmd[0] = "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe"
cmd[1] = "/C"
cmd[2] = "c:\rundir.bat"
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
rc = p.waitFor(); // Hangs forever if more than 17 lines of output.
if (rc != 0) {
success = false;
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
else {
success = true;
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
}

1) Search these forums. This problem has been asked over and over again.
2) Read the entire System.exec() and java.lang.Process javadoc. The situation you need to prevent is well-documented.
Briefly put: the error and output streams of the external process must be timely read; failure to do so when executing a process which writes to either or both of these streams can cause deadlock, since writing to a stream may block and the operating system provides limited buffer space for these streams. You will need to use multiple threads.

[SOLVED] Syslog output flooding tty1

I recently installed a new guest OS on Virtualbox and added a USB automount udev rule. After restarting, tty1 was flooded with syslog, even as I tried to log in. There don't seem to be any stray entries in syslog-ng.conf, and I removed the udev rule as soon as I noticed the problem. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

No. Read again. You need to add "quiet" without the quotes obviously to your kernel line.

Where do I find output from verbose:class?

I want to find out where a class is being loaded from. So, using the config tool, I have added "-verbose:class" to the server's Java parameters and restarted. However, I cannot find the logging file that contains the expected output from enabling this option. What file do I look in? It's not in server0/log/defaultTrace.trc nor server0/kernel/classload/default.trc.

Media Encoder making 4K output file 'blink'... What is going on?

Working off Premiere CC. I have a 4K sequence displaying two 1080p videos side-by-side to compare quality between HEVC and H.264. Effects includes dissolves, freeze frames, and word labels created with Premiere's title maker.
Watching all the way through in Premiere timeline on my new Mac Pro it works fine. All video loaded, audio playing back, everything is great.
Ctrl+M, settings include Quicktime, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) (have also tried Uncompressed YUV 10 bit 4:2:2 as an alternative to no avail), 3840x2160, 29.97, Progressive, Square Pixels, check box on 'Render at Maximumm Depth and 'Use Maximum Render Quality'. Queue it up, hit play and the video encodes fine for a while. Then, during a random transition, the little preview monitor on the encoder starts blinking! Sometimes the top half of the screen, sometimes the entire screen. Upon review of the final output shows that the preview was telling the truth.
Help! What is going on?!

Hello Kevin,
Thanks for getting back to me. It's not actually HEVC. We load in the uncompressed AVI clips into Premiere instead. If they were real HEVC then Premiere wouldn't even let me import them, yes?
Right! I was confused about how you even imported the footage.
bgmc101 wrote:
The blinking does not start until 50 seconds to a minute in, and randomly persists through the rest of the video. We've had to export 30 to 40 second segments of the video and stitch them together using our stuff... not the most favorable workflow.
Any ideas?
Are you exporting via the Export button (from Premiere Pro) or the Queue button (AME)? Does it work using the other method?
Thanks,

Smartform - Field not outputting more than 255 characters in a loop - Help!

Hi,
I have the following problem with my Smartform:
I am looping from a table and into a structure (Loop function).
1 of those fields is 1000 characters long and will be filled usually at 500 characters inside.
However, when looping and outputting the field (text node) in the format &Tablename-Fieldname&, only up to 255 characters are output.
To give you a better idea - I have a Loop Node and there, I am looping from a table (type table of) into a header
(type).
Using LCHR does not help.
Why does this happen? How can I fix this? Are any symbols available in Smartforms, like they are in SAPscript?
Any possible solutions will help.
Please help this is very important and very urgent.
Best Regards,
John

Hi,
if you want to output a long string in a smartform putting it as &name& in a text will not help you. For printing such an information you use temp include texts you create an delete on the fly while processing the SF.
To Do so:
- define GV_SUFFIX type char2, GS_HEAD a structure with fields TDOBJECT type TDOBJECT, TDNAME type TDOBNAME, TDID type TDID, TDSPRAS type SPRAS
- define a code step importing the text, the language and the GV_SUFFIX, in the coding , you convert the string to itf and than use function module SAVE_TEXT to save the include text and put the information into GS_HEAD
- define an include text where you put out the newly created include text
- define a code step to delete the temporary text with function module DELETE_TEXT
