NO SMSTS.LOG file after OSD

Single Primary Site SCCM 2012 R2 CU4.
Deploying BareMetal machines using basic task sequence.
The machine joins the domain however the sccm client install failed and I cannot locate the SMSTS.log anywhere.
In C:\windows we have ccmsetup with ccmsetup.log, client.msi.log and MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi.
There is no c:\_SMSTaskSequence or C:\WIndows\CCM folder.

Until the client agent is installed, smsts.log will be in C:\Windows\Temp.
That won't help you troubleshoot the client agent installation failure though. For Windows Installer installations, 1603 is a generic error code that means you needs to examine the verbose msi log file (client.msi.log in this case) in depth. Searching
for the string "return code 3" and then scanning the lines above this will lead you to exact item that failed.

Log File after fix KB3024815

Hi,
hot fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3024815
RESOURCE_SEMAPHORE_QUERY_COMPILE..............
After I placed this fix on SQL 2014 Cluster, the compilation time was okay, but the following issue occured.
When rebuilding an index with a size of 10MB in the log fail are recorded 70MB which caused the rebuild time to increase x7 because of the x7, an increase of x7 is required to the I/Ops and HDD for the log.
For example:
Size before rebuild this index
index: 24544.00KB
Log File: 833024.00KB
Size after rebuild this index
index: 24592.00KB
Log File: 1008000.00KB
So log increase 7.1151594 times from index size.
Am I the only one experiencing this issue or is there a bug when this fix is placed on the cluster ?
Regards,
Jeff

How to delete log file after zipping in batch

**please check my code ... and suggest any changes to be made ... i m able to zipp the logs but not able to delete those logs.........

Actually it is only the 7Z filemanager that can delete files using the "Move" command and the "Delete after archiving" option.
if EXIST %lastmonthfiles%.zip ( DEL server.log.%year%-%month%-* ) ELSE echo zip not found
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello Subbu,

You mean you have taken an online backup and lost all your archive log files after that online backup?
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Error: ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'E:\oracle\'<SID>\sapdata1\SYSTEM_1\SYSTEM.DATA1'

To perform a recovery with an online backup you will need all archive log files until the end of the online backup. If you have lost them you are not able to recover (or open) your database in a consistent state.
So the only suggestion we can do is:
You need the archive log files that were created during the online backup to perform an incomplete recovery ... if they are gone you can not restore your database.

Where can the log file be found after printing to the PDF printer?

Cannot locate the log file after printing to the Adobe PDF printer. The box was unchecked for delete log file after successful print. Running Adobe Acrobat X Standard (v10.0.0) on a windows 2008 R2 server.

There is usually no log file when the conversion succeeds. Only in certain cases are their warning or information messages, usually of little interest.

Smsts.log in SCCM 2012

Hi,
Where I can find smsts.log file in SCCM12 server? I am not able to find the same. Is the log name changed to some different name?
Regards, Shishir Kushawaha "If this thread answered your question, please click on "Mark as Answer"

The log file will be found on the client - not the server (unless you specifically run a task sequence on the server and it is now the client).
The log is in a different location depending on the situation
During OS Deployment
Before your hard drive is formatted and partitioned
X:\windows\temp\smstslog\
After your hard drive is partitioned formatted
X:\smstslog\ and then is in C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\
Within Windows
Within Windows before the SCCM agent is installed:
C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\
Within Windows after the SCCM agent installed:
C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smstslog\
When the Task Sequence completes on a x86
C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\
For x64 Systems
C:\windows\SysWOW64\ccm\logs\

I am pretty sure this is incorrect. The location after TS completion is %systemroot%\ccm\logs (usually c:\windows\ccm\logs) on both x86 and x64 platforms.

MR11 log file

Hi,
While run MR11 for GR/IR clearing account a log file is generated and document number is 5400000010. Where this log file is stored by default and how it should display ? Beside F.13 automatic clearing clears those GR/IR records whose balance shows as 0. And difference amount is cleared through F-03 by choosing document number from GR and IR under same purchase order. In F.13(automatic clearing) does not clear those same GR value and IR value inspite of same PO number. These values are easily tracebale from normal balance viewing mode through FBL3N. Why these values are not cleared through F.13 ?

Immediate AI:
0. Check the log file auto growth setup too and check is this a practically a good one and disk has still space or not.
1. If disk is full where you are keeping log file, then add a log file in database property page on another disk where you have planned to keep log files, in case you can't afford to get db down. Once you are done then you can plan to truncate data out of
log file and remove that if it has come just first time issues. If this happens now and then check for capacity part.
2. You can consider shrinking the log files after no any other backup are going on or any maintenance job like rebuild\reorg indexes \update stats jobs are executing as this will be blocking it.
If db size is small and copy files from prod to dr is not that latency prone, and shrink is not happening, then you can try changing recovery model and then do shrinking and reconfigure log-shipping after reverting recovery model.
3. Even you can check if anyone mistakenly places some old files and forgot to remove them which is causing disk full issues. Also
4. For permanent solution, do monitor the environment for capacity and allocate good space for log file disks. Also consider tweaking frequencies of the log backup from default that suits your environment.

How to save captured data to a log file to prevent lag?

Here is my VI.
I read in an string of this format (the channels number are now 32 only but will like to increase up to more than 10000 later)
Time\sStamp\tChannel:00\tChannel:01\tChannel:02\tChannel:03\tChannel:04\tChannel:05\tChannel:06\tChannel:07\tChannel:10\tChannel:11\tChannel:12\tChannel:13\tChannel:14\tChannel:15\tChannel:16\tChannel:17\tChannel:20\tChannel:21\tChannel:22\tChannel:23\tChannel:24\tChannel:25\tChannel:26\tChannel:27\tChannel:30\tChannel:31\tChannel:32\tChannel:33\tChannel:34\tChannel:35\tChannel:36\tChannel:37\tIP\sAddress\t\n
The problem I am now having is that, the data is through UDP sending in, the program start off normal capturing all data, but when data are captured and saved to the .log file after an hour or more, some of the data will start to be missed.
I guess this is beause the .log file is becoming larger, and in the rate of 10Hz (now), the file open and close can't chase up? so some data are missed?
Anyone could advice or amend the VI so that I could have a better way to save the captured data? making a buffer? or what so ever? Hope someone could help =]
Thanks.

I don't know which part handling the error is wrong.
If possible, maybe could you help me delete the whole auto naming function (move it aside) and just add in a promt user for saving directory thing ok?
Thanks!
Here is the file and i added the excel in.
Hi milkbottlec,
Regarding the headings in the middle of your file, I imagine the filename changed temporarily. When the name changed BACK to an exisiting name, the headings were added (anticipating a new file.) I'm more curious about the "lost" data problem. Do you still see holes in the data? If so, were any bad filenames recorded?
Sure! Why not present a file-dialog instead of automatically generating filenames, Looks like you've mastered the "True/False" case, why not build on what you know? Experiment with the File Dialog express VI on the FILE\Advanced File Functions palette. Personally, I'm a fan of auto-generated filenames, though, not necessarily built from the data.
Cheers!

Restoring offline log file

Dear Friends,
I am facing problem to restore last backuped offline log file.
I have succefully completed homogeneous system copy (i.e. SAP ECC 6.0 with Oracle 10g on Wndows 2003 platform) through backup/restore procedure & system comes to consistent stage & able to login properly.
Now I want to restore other offline redolog files in the above system.
e.g. Previously I have imported log sequence upto 750. Now I want to recover logfiles from log seq. 751 onwards.
Pls. help to recover other offline log files after system is consistent.
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek

Not possible.
Once you opened your database (and logged in successfully), no more recover actions can be done.

   I want to read the log files after executing SE37 t-codes, I tried in sm21 but i didnt get any result.
   Can U tell me how to read the log files ??
   what is T-code for that? or i have change any settings???
Thanking You,
    Regards

Hi ,
You can use these two FM for analysing the log ..
               APPL_LOG_READ_INTERN
               APPL_LOG_DISPLAY_INTERN
Or You can create A Zprogram using this FM
and check the changes using RSDEPEND

SQL log file size is extending rapidly

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0, our database is SQL 2005 & operating system is Windows NT 4x AMD64 L.
Our database log file size is increasing rapidly, now its size is more than the all 4 data files (near about 300gb).
Last week I tried to shrink log file but it didn't worked.
Now less space is remained on disk, please help me.
Now the system is started giving dump at the time of log in, & the dump is like "START_CALL_SICK ".
I am attaching dump error text file.
Please help why is this happening.
Thanks in advance
Mahendra

Hi,
I have backed up log file & shrink the file but it didn't worked for me
What is the result? It shrinks the log and release all the space (for all committed transactions).
How can i add another log file?
Can i delete old log file after adding new log file.
You can add another log file by following below steps. but in your case, this is not the right solution because you have good amount of log file configuration for your database (now its size is more than the all 4 data files (near about 300gb)).
Open SQL server management studio > Expand database > Right click on database > Select Files > Click on Add > Give the input parameters (Logical file name, path, initial size etc.) click on OK
If system is not allowing you to shrink the log file, it means you have active transactions in system which are continuously using your log file.

Log file sync spike

We have just deployed a 4-node RAC cluster on 10GR2. We force a log switch every 5 minutes to ensure our Dataguard standby site is relatively up to date, we use the ARCH to ship logs. We are running to a very fast HP XP 12000 with massive amounts of write cache, so we never actually write straight to disk. However everytime we do a log switch and archive the log, we see a massive spike in the log file sync event. This is a real-time billing system so we monitor transaction response times in ms. Our response time for a transaction can go from 8ms to around 500ms.
I can't understand why this is happening, not only are our disks fast but we are also using asynch I/O and ASM. Surely with asynch I/O you should never wait for a write to complete.

Log file sync event happens when client wait for LGWR finishes write to the log file after client said 'commit'. The way to reduce the number of the 'Log file sync' events is to increase the speed of LGWR process or not to commit that often.
You've described your disk system as very fast - what is the amount of data you write on every log switch? How does the performance of this write relates to your disk system tests? what block size did you use when testing the disk system? as far as I remember the LGWR uses OS block size and not the DB block size to write data to the disk. Try to experiment on your test system - put your log files on the virtual disk created in RAM and run the test case - do you see the delays?
With such restrictions for the transaction time you may want to look at Oracle Times-Ten database (http://www.oracle.com/database/timesten.html)
Since you've mentioned the 10gR2 you could probably use the new feature - asynchronous commit - in this case your transaction will not wait for the LGWR process. Be aware that using the NOWAIT commit opens a small possibility of data loss - the doc describes it quite clear.

Streaming log file analyzer?

Hi there,
We host several flv files with Akamai and recently enabled
the log file delivery service. So, we now have Akamai-generated log
files in W3C format. I was assuming I could use WebTrends to
analyze these, but after looking at them briefly, it shows
different events like play, stop, seek, etc., and I don't know that
WebTrends would be able to process all of that.
Our most basic requirement is to see how many times each
video was viewed. If we could get more detailed analysis, like
video X gets viewed on average for 2:00, but video Y only gets
viewed for 20 seconds, that would be great as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions for the best software to
analyze these files?
Thanks,
Matt

Immediate AI:
0. Check the log file auto growth setup too and check is this a practically a good one and disk has still space or not.
1. If disk is full where you are keeping log file, then add a log file in database property page on another disk where you have planned to keep log files, in case you can't afford to get db down. Once you are done then you can plan to truncate data out of
log file and remove that if it has come just first time issues. If this happens now and then check for capacity part.
2. You can consider shrinking the log files after no any other backup are going on or any maintenance job like rebuild\reorg indexes \update stats jobs are executing as this will be blocking it.
If db size is small and copy files from prod to dr is not that latency prone, and shrink is not happening, then you can try changing recovery model and then do shrinking and reconfigure log-shipping after reverting recovery model.
3. Even you can check if anyone mistakenly places some old files and forgot to remove them which is causing disk full issues. Also
4. For permanent solution, do monitor the environment for capacity and allocate good space for log file disks. Also consider tweaking frequencies of the log backup from default that suits your environment.
