Need example with write to DATA log file programmatically?

Hi all,
I would like to request for an example of writing a datalog (*.DAT) file which could do this.
Datalog file.
NAME: AGE: SEX: (header)
john 16 M (data)
marie 55 F
Dolah 34 M
The program can also let me to add in new data and then store in the same file.dat. The data (hopefully) can be written to the bottom of the last saved entry of data. (eg. after the row Dolah).
I need to do this so that I can open and read back the datalog file and use the data for other purpose.
Please help,
juni

You've got some examples in Fundamentals>File Input and Output but one of the easiest things to do is to modify Write Strings to Spreadsheet File.vi to write strings as detailed at the bottom of the diagram and then save it to a different place and with a different name.

Needed a code for Creating a Log File in java so that its size is limited

Hi
I need the code for developing a log file using threads so that the log file size is limited
and if the size of the log file is increasing above 1Mb,another log file has to be created automatically and the log have to be printed into that new file.

Data Log File Refnum Type Def Bug??

Hello,
I just found some quirky behaviour (LV 7.1.1):
1. In the attached LLB, open "RefnumVI.vi"
2. Select the Data Log File Refnum control and open it for editing (Edit - Customize Control ... from the menu)
3. Close "RefnumVI.vi" but leave "Refnum.ctl" open
4. Select the enum inside the refnum container, and open it
5. Select File - Save As ... and save the enum as "RefnumEnum2.ctl"
6. Close the enum
7. Save "Refnum.ctl", and close it
8. Reopen "RefnumVI.vi" and display its hierarchy (Browse - Show VI Hierarchy from the menu)
Notice that "RefnumVI.vi" still has a link to "RefnumEnum.ctl", even though we saved this as "RefnumEnum2.ctl" earlier.
If you go back to the VI, right click on the refnum, and replace it with itself (i.e. select "Refnum.ctl"), the link disappears.
This behaviour does not happen if I use a Cluster instead of a Data Log File Refnum. I imagine the difference is that the calling VI needs to know about the structure of the data log file in ways it doesn't need to know about the structure of a cluster, but this still is very counter-intuitive behaviour. Is this really expected? Or is it a bug? Is there any other way to remove the link?
Cheers,
Jaegen

RefnumEnumBug.llb ‏22 KB

Nathan,
Thanks for your response - I have 8.2 and am in the process of evaluating how/when to upgrade.
Does this mean that the compiler/linker is behaving differently depending on where you open a type def from? The reason I'm asking is that I've seen similar behavior when editing a hierarchy of type defs; depending on how I open the low-level type def I'm actually editing, changes will or won't get propagated to other instances properly.
Regarding this actual problem, the issue I had is that the data log file refnum type def exists on many VIs, and thus the incorrect link now exists on many VIs, and I don't see any way of correcting the problem without manually replacing the type def with itself in every location (given there's no "Replace All" feature in LV 7.1.1 ). However, the hierarchy I'm dealing with was only created for testing, so I don't actually need to fix it . I'll just know to avoid causing this problem in the first place in the future.

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"));

Configure log4j to write to different log files conditionally

Hi folks,
Is there is way log4j could be configured to write to multiple log files conditionally? Let me try to explain what i am trying to do.
I have two classes DatabaseChecker and FTPChecker extends Checker class. Within Checker class, there is a method logTestResult(CheckerType c, boolean isFailed, int retry, int isMaxRetryExceeded). Depending on the CheckerType(database or FTP), I need to write log outputs to different files (dbchecker.log or ftpchecker.log). How do i configure log4j to do this?
I've seen how to configure log4j based on classes from different package, but not sure on this one. Any clue would be much appreciated.

Data log file refnum - what is it?

Hello all,
i want know what is it data log file refnum and how to use it.
Thanks.

A datalog file is a file that stores data as a sequence of records of a single, arbitrary data type that you specify when you create the file. Although all the records in a datalog file must be a single type, that type can be complex. For instance, you can specify that each record is a cluster that contains a string, a number, and an array.
You could use a datalog file refnum if, for instance, you were creating a subVI which will be accepting a datalog file as an input. You could use this refnum to write to the file and perform other actions on it.

Problem with java.util.logging - write to multiple log files

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with logging to multiple files - i am using the constructor for creating multiple files with size limitation - FileHandler(String pattern, int limit, int count, boolean append).
The problem i encounter is that it writes to the next log file before exceeding the limit, can it be because of file lock or something? what can i do in order to fill log files in a given limit and then write to the next?

I thought it is synchronized by definition - i'm just creating loggers that write to
the same file(s). When i used 1 file instead of using the limit and several
files - all went well.Just a small question: all these loggers do use the same FileHandler don't they?
I bet they do, just asking ...
The problem started when i wanted each file to reach a limit before start writing
to a new file. Should i synchronize the log somehow? That's what I suggested in my previous reply, but IMHO it shouldn't be necessary
given what I read from the sources ...
What could be the reason for not reaching the limit before opening a new file?Sorry I don't have an answer (yet), still thinking though ... it's a strange problem.
kind regards,
Jos (hrrmph ... stoopid problem ;-)

Need to Create a New Listener Log file 9i

Hi, I have a issue with a oracle 9i database.
First the listener.log file is 1.2G not good on a 25G server..
How do you create and delete the listener file? Windows 2000 OS...
Second I also have an issue with the archive log files... I have about 150 file 102M each...Again Not good...
Need HELP drowning in a sea of oracle... Given the Shrink command....
At least the Listener issue first then the archive log problem..
Thank you...

carlo_sc wrote:
yes, we normally do a full daily backup and the archive logs are then deleted..But the Job didn't finish
last night. Also we had big Network issue yesterday and I believe that caused the issue with this server
causing an excessive amount of log files to be created...
So with simply thing with lister is just too:
1) stop listener service
2) delete Log file.... (that won't mess anything up on restart ) I'm very skittish about manually deleting stuff from oracle..
Got burned in Sept of last year big timeIt's just a log file. It's for your own use if needed. oracle doesn't use it or require it. You even have an option in the listener to not even write to it in the first place.
3) restart listener service
The archive logs : What if I move some of the files to another location then perform the a full daily backup will the that
solve my archive log issues....
Thanks for all the quick responses
Edited by: carlo_sc on Jan 15, 2010 10:09 AMYou say you already have a backup job that gets the archivelogs and deletes them after backup? And the only real problem here is that it failed? Fix the failure and run it again. You can, in a pinch, manually move the archivelogs, but then YOU are responsible for keeping up with them.

How to disable write to redo log file in oracle7.3.4

in oracle 8, alter table no logged in redo log file like: alter table tablename nologging;
how to do this in oracle 7.3.4?
thanks.

user652965 wrote:
Thanks very much for your help guys. I appreciate it. unfortunately none of these commands worked for me. I kept getting error on clearing logs that redo log is needed to perform recovery so it can't be cleared. So I ended up restoring from earlier snapshot of my db volume. Database is now open.
Thanks again for your input.And now, as a follow-up, at a minimum you should make sure that all redo log groups have at least 3 members. Then, if you lose a single redo log file, all you have to do is shutdown the db and copy one of the good members (of the same group as the lost member) over the lost member.
And as an additional follow-up, if you value your data you will run in archivelog mode and take regular backups of the database and archivelogs. If you fail to do this you are saying that your data is not worth saving.

Java.util.logging: write to one log file from many application (classes)

I have a menuapp to launch many applications, all running in same JVM and i want to add logging information to them, using java.util.logging.
Intention is to redirect the logginginfo to a specific file within the menuapp. Then i want all logging from all applications written in same file. Finally, if needed (but i don't think it is), i will include code to write logging to specific file per app (class). The latter is probably not neccessary because there are tools to analyse the logging-files and allow to select filters on specific classes only.
The applications are in their own packages/jars and contain following logging-code:
        // Redirect error output
        try {
            myHandler = new FileHandler("myLogging.xml",1000000,2);
        } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.println("Could not create file. Using the console handler");
        myLogger.addHandler(myHandler);
        myLogger.info("Our first logging message");
        myLogger.severe("Something terrible happened");
        ...When i launch the menuapplication, it writes info to "myLogging.xml.0"
but when i launch an application, the app writes info to "myLogging.xml.0.1"
I already tried to leave out the creation of a new Filehandler (try/catch block in code above) but it doesn't help.
Is it possible to write loginfo to same specific file?

You should open/close it somehow at every write from different processes.
But I personally prefer different file names to your forced merging, though.

How to work with Canon EOS 6D log file in Lightroom

After searching all over the place I found an easy solution for working with the log file from the Canon 6D.
This file is in .log format and can not be imported in Lightroom directly, because LR works with the .gpx format.
First place the file out of the camera memory to the SD card as told in the manual.
Copy the .log file to your computer.
Go to GPS Visualizer.
On the start screen there is a green box.
You can choose the .gpx output format there.
Browse for your .log file.
Give command to convert and after a short while you can download the converted .gpx file.
This one you can import in Maps in LR (with that snake like symbol down the mainscreen).
This worked perfect for me and I would like to share this information, because both Canon and Adobe couldn't help me and pointed to each other.
Good luck!
Frans

You should never use relative paths to access the filesystem. The path would be relative to the current working directory which is not per se the same in all environments. To convert a relative web path to an absolute file system path, you need ServletContext#getRealPath(). Use this absolute file system path in the java.io stuff. In a JSF application on top of Servlet API you can get the underlying ServletContext by ExternalContext#getContext().
Alternatively, if the file is located in one of the default paths of the classpath or if its path is added to the classpath, you can also just use ExternalContext#getResource() or even #getResourceAsStream() using just the file name.

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

Problems with write to measurement file

My VI doesn't seem to write my signal properly when writing is enables.. however, if i change the "Write to measurement file" Express VI to a Write to Spreadsheet function, the signal is written correctly. From what I understand in previous discussions, there is a bug associated with enabling a write to measurement file, so is there a way to enable write to spreadsheet instead of using the express VI or is there a way I can bypass this bug?
Thanks,

Analog test and collection.vi ‏700 KB

This is my second program ever written, first in matlab, so I am very new to the field. So why I choose one way over another I have no reasoning, all I know is that it works. I am collecting electromyography analog signals, with a range of +/-5V.. the "bad" writing with write to meas file is that I am getting a flat signal (range between -.01 to +0.01, give or take).. where when written with write to spreadsheet, the signal has proper voltage range and normal frquency and amplitude characteristics seen in EMGs.
I tried using a case structure for the write to spreadsheet, however it only writes the buffer size during continuous sampling. I need it to write the entire time the boolean (enable button) is true, also the enable button is operated as switch when pressed.
