ONS.log , invalid connect server IP format
Dear all,
We have a RAC system 10g (10.2.0.3) with two database nodes on two dedicated IBM Power servers with AIX 5.3 as OS.
The following message is occurring in a frequent way in ons.log noting that we have detected that the ons process is consuming very high memory:
+13/03/18 09:34:33 [2] Passive connection 0,<IP of server 1>,6200 invalid connect server IP format+
+3232237319,6200,6113,0+
ONSinfo: !!3232237319!0!6200!0!6113
hostName: <hostname of server2>
clusterId: databaseClusterId
clusterName: databaseClusterName
instanceId: databaseInstanceId
instanceName: databaseInstanceName
Unfortunately we can't find any documentation for that.
Regards.
ons process is consuming very high memory....
is it log size is increasing drastically or any other issue....we are not getting issue .....
ONS is consuming high CPU? is it ur issue...then
according to my understanding the hostname or IP value configured for OPMN in the opmn.xml file does not match the corresponding entry in the ons.conf file.
OPMN reconnects to itself over and over, thereby increasing CPU usage, one more thing is ONS topology is mis-configured....i hope...
ons.conf file content must be same as all other instance in the cluster.....
for more information examine the log ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/ipm.log ....if possible post the log.....
thanks,
DBC,
Sr DBA.

Hi All, i just wanted to ask if anyone else had experienced this issue yet?
We have ~200 Pull DP's and for some time have been having issues with OSD Task Sequences randomly failing with the error 80070002.
More specifically:
Invalid path. \\server\share format needed
Failed to find an available source location
Our Task sequence is configured to access content directly from the DP. We checked the PackageShare$ and validation state and both were fine. Next we inspected WMI (root\sccmdp:SMS_PackagesInContLib) and this was fine as well. Until today,
we had been redistributing the failing package to remediate, but this is very time consuming with some of the large WIMs and Driver Packages, especially over some very slow WAN links.
Today I decided to explore this a little further by examining the Database..This led me to the table ContentDPMap and the two columns in particular 'URL' and 'URLSubPath'.
I noticed that the packages we were having issues with had a URL of the ServerName in UNC format, and a URLSubPath of just '\'. Other packages had a fully qualified UNC path to the package for URL and a full sub path for URLSubPath.
When we queried the DB further, we revealed 1190 packages to be in this state (for packages supposed to be in the share) out of a total of 42,000 records.
The query we used for this was:
select ContentID,ServerName,AccessType,URL,URLSubPath,URLProtocol,vpkg.Name from ContentDPMap as cdpm
join v_Package as vpkg on vpkg.PackageID = cdpm.ContentID
where cdpm.AccessType = 2 --UNCProtocol
and cdpm.URLSubPath not like '%SMS%' --Packages with issues only have a '\'
and vpkg.PkgFlags = (vpkg.PkgFlags | 0x80) --Limit to only show packages with the 'Copy To Package Share' flag set
Also of note, when a package is marked with a State = 2 the values for URL/URLSubPath are NULL. (State =2 is In Progress).
So my question:
Firstly, has anyone else encountered this?
Secondly - how should I fix it - we tested in our DEV and found that updating the entries remediates the issue with Clients not being able to locate content, but realise this is is an unsupported method.
I will also log this on Connect as it appears to me to be a Bug.
Cheers,

Hi,
So redistributing the failed package could resolve this issue?
How about using prestaged content to distribute these large contents?

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams().]Invalid connection on server 2008 R2
I am getting the above error when trying to instal the WSUS role on a Windows Server 2008 R2. I put in the ServerName\Instance just like the wizard asks but I get the Invalid Connection error above. I can make an ODBC connection to the server just fine.
The account I am using to install WSUS has an SQL login with sysadmin role and rights to the master db. This server is going to replace a WSUS running on server 2003 and I want to use the same SQL server that one is using. I can connect to port 1433 fine with
telnet so I am really lost at this point.
Any idea's?
..ARHi AR,
Is the SQL server installed on the same computer?
If yes, please check if the named pipe has been enabled on the SQL server.
If no, please check the event log of the SQL server. We may find the reason why the connection was denied.
Best Regards.

How To check in Ironport log which is server is giving bad response to SMTP connection?
How To check in Ironport log which is server is giving bad response to SMTP connection?
You probably want to create a new log subscription for "SMTP Logs"
Go to System Administration/Log Subcriptions.
Click Add Log Subscription
Pick SMTP Conversation Logs.
Pick a log name (will be the folder name that gets created for the log files)
The defaults for the rest should be fine... maybe tweak rollover...
Make sure to remove it after you're done, its going to eat space and probably a little proc... its VERY verbose, but it should show you what you need. -
Error in ONS logs while implmenting FCF on oracle RAC from java program
I have java prog on client machine that uses properties from a property file.While making the connection to the ONS port on the oracle RAC server to implement FCF the program is throwing error as below:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
and when i checked the ons logs for that node the logs are as follows:

These logs are generated only when java program tries to connect else the daemon started without any errors.
But sometime it connets and gives the desired output.

I can log into Connect Central, but I can't log into a specific meeting. How can I fix this?
I can log into Connect Central, but every time I try to log into this specific meeting it gives me the "Invalid User/Password" error even though I'm using the right password.
In Connect Central, you should see a My Meetings tab on the home page. Any meetings that you have pre-defined permissions to (Participant, Presenter or Host) should show up there. If you have permissions, you may be able to browse to the meeting location on the server and enter it there, but that may not be a possibility for you.
Additionally, if you are logged into Connect Central, then clicking on the link for the meeting should just pass you into the room. -

How to write to windows event logs from determinations-server under IIS
This is just an FYI technical bit of information I wish someone had shared with me before I started trying to write OPA errors to the windows event log... Most problems writing to the windows event log from log4net occur because of permissions. Some problems are because determinations-server does not have permissions to create some registry entries. Some problems cannot be resolved unless specific registry entry permissions are actually changed. We had very little consistency with the needed changes across our servers, but some combination of the following would always get the logging to the windows event log working.
To see log4net errors as log4net attempts to utilize the windows event log, temporarily add the following to the web.config:
<appSettings>
<!-- uncomment the following line to send diagnostic messages about the log configuration file to the debug trace.
Debug trace can be seen when attached to IIS in a debugger, or it can be redirected to a file, see
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html in the section "How do I enable log4net internal debugging?" -->
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add
name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="logs/InfoDSLog.txt" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
To add an appender for the windows event viewer, try the following in the log4net.xml:
<appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >
<param name="ApplicationName" value="OPA" />
<param name="LogName" value="OPA" />
<param name="Threshold" value="all" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
<filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
<levelMin value="WARN" />
<levelMax value="FATAL" />
</filter>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="warn"/>
<appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender"/>
</root>
To put the OPA logs under the Application Event Log group, try this:
Create an event source under the Application event log in Registry Editor. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open text box, type regedit.
3. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application
4. Right-click the Application subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
5. Type OPA for the key name.
6. Close Registry Editor.
To put the OPA logs under a custom OPA Event Log group (as in the demo appender above), try this:
Create an event log in Registry Editor. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open text box, type regedit.
3. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
4. Right-click the eventlog subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
5. Type OPA for the key name.
6. Right-click the new OPA key and add a new DWORD called "MaxSize" and set it to "1400000" which is about 20 Meg in order to keep the log file from getting too large.
7. The next steps either help or sometimes cause an error, but you can try these next few steps... If you get an error about a source already existing, then you can delete the key.
8. Right-click the OPA subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
9. Type OPA for the key name.
10. Close Registry Editor.
You might need to change permissions so OPA can write to the event log in Registry Editor. If you get permission errors, try following these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open text box, type regedit.
3. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
4. Right-click the EventLog key, select Permissions.
5. In the dialog that pops up, click Add...
6. Click Advanced...
7. Click Locations... and select the current machine by name.
8. Click Find Now
9. Select both the Network user and IIS_IUSERS user and click OK and OK again. (We never did figure out which of those two users was the one that fixed our permission problem.)
10. Change the Network user to have Full Control
11. Click Apply and OK
To verify OPA Logging to the windows event logs from Determinations-Server:
Go to the IIS determinations-server application within Server Manager.
Under Manage Application -> Browse Application click the http link to pull up the local "Available Services" web page that show the wsdl endpoints.
Select the /determinations-server/server/soap.asmx?wsdl link
Go to the URL and remove the "?wsdl" from the end of the url and refresh. This will throw the following error into the logs:
ERROR Oracle.Determinations.Server.DSServlet [(null)] - Invalid get request: /determinations-server/server/soap.asmx
That error should show up in the windows event log, OR you can get a message explaining why security stopped you in "logs/InfoDSLog.txt" if you used the web.config settings from above.

Is there a process that writes this type of error in a log on the server?
Hi,
When I go open a cursor and at that time my connection is closed for some reason, I receive an error.
1) I wanted to know if the cause of the error is stored in a log on the server. Can you hear what happened?
2) What are the processes that logs and write in that directory?If there is no Oracle error, I would tend to suspect that there are problems at the network level, not at the Oracle level.
It wouldn't hurt to see if there are any errors in the alert log indicating that user sessions are getting killed because of internal Oracle errors, though that is unlikely. You could verify that the user isn't assigned a profile that limits idle_time or some other resource that may not play nicely with a connection pool. In either of those cases, though, you would expect the error stack to have an Oracle related error rather than just a network related error.

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.
I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
application and the selection is stored in a config file in
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.
In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
users.
Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A.
SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
they actually get
C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
and user "B" gets
C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
(a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
This was clarified by the following series of comments:
I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 – James

@JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. – Nathan

You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... – James

@JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. – Nathan

Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… – James

User profile images not persisting after log off on Server 2012 R2 RDS Session Hosts
Hi,
We have a 2012 R2 remote desktop deployment, with two session collections, a gateway server, and connection broker.
We have set these session collections to use centralised user profile disks.
What I am having an issue with, is that when a user sets their profile image through the server they have logged on to (I have the desktop experience pack installed so they are able to do this), they can see the user tile has been set with that image in
settings and also on the start menu, but as soon as they log off the server and back on, their profile image has been reset to the default blank image.
I have checked all of my group policy options, and cannot find any settings that could be impacting this.
Does anyone have any ideas why these images are not persisting for users or admins?
Thanks, EdsPlease check that the user is not getting a temporary profile each time he logs in. Also, make sure that the RDP client is properly configured to display the Wallpaper: http://www.webapper.com/blog/index.php/2007/10/18/enabling-desktop-wallpaper-on-remote-desktop-terminal-services/

Can log into Yosemite server (4.0) VPN service with a Mavericks client, but not Yosemite client
Sever Info:
Yosemite Server 4.0 running on a late 2009 Mac Mini with 8 GB RAM with vpnd service enabled
The server was upgraded to Yosemite - not clean install - this may not matter (see below)
Airport extreme router with standard VPN UDP ports for L2TP forwarded to server (500, 1701, 4500)
Client info:
MB Air 13" early 2014 with 8 GB RAM
Yosemite
Mavericks 10.9.5 running as a Parallels virtual machine (don't ask - I need it to run an app for work that is not yet compatible with Yosemite)
OD service is NOT running - no VPN connections ever occurred from ANY client with this service running - OD is not needed in my case fortunately
With the OD service off, I can connect via the Mavericks virtual machine just fine, but not with Yosemite. With Yosemite, the ppp connection appears to occur, but server config requests appear to fall on deaf ears (client side doesn't appear to respond) until the connection times out. Can't figure out what triggers the client response to a server config request. Client side complains about no route to host and IP addresses don't get assigned to the connection.
The connection happens successfully in an eyeblink with the Mavericks client. Same username/password/shared secret in both instances.
Tried a generated .vpnconfig from the server, this also did not work.
It's possible that it is an auth problem, but can't figure out how the process occurs or what may be going wrong. There does not seem to be an obvious way to increase the granularity of the logging such that it might give other hints - at least that I can find. I found plenty of references to VPN issues when people upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks as well as work arounds for this. I tried the most promising looking of those - no love. I reverted everything back to stock install since I could at least connect with Mavericks.
If log entries would be helpful, they are included below. I've stared at them long enough - perhaps a new set of eyes can provide a hint.
In addition, I can find no documentation regarding the VPN service in Yosemite server so as to get a clue as to whether there have been changes in racoon since Mavericks.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I would be glad to supply any other info needed for an accurate diagnosis .
Pat

2014-10-21 12:10:09 MDT --> Client with address = 192.168.1.226 has hungup1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Recently (within the past 2 weeks) I have noticed a few of our servers will have problems with the svchost.exe application causing the GPSVC (Group Policy Client) to crash. The only fix at that point is to reboot the server since the GPSVC service is tied
to svchost.exe and therefore is protected from being manually restarted.
I noticed the following errors when this occurs:

All of our servers are running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise where we use Citrix to deliver desktop sessions to our users, but some are virtual and some are physical. This seemingly impacts our virtual machines more, and our VMs are hosted through VMWare, however,
about 5 months ago a similar error fired on a non-virtual machine:

I've searched and cannot seem to find any information as to what may be causing this, or even really where to start. Would someone be able to help me identify what might be causing this event, specific with the Exception code: 0xc0000024, which causes
the Group Policy Client service to stop?You still out there looking at things? If so I have an update. The issue hasn't stopped, even though it did seemingly die down for awhile, however, it is now back with a vengeance.
I am able to force it to happen by killing the svchost process that is hosting GPSVC. If I run gpupdate /force, then logout/login it does get GPSVC running again. Furthermore, if I simply start svchost again via the Task Manager GPSVC starts running again.
When I access the server remotely with KVM it acts just like it does as if I'm logging into it via Citrix/RDP which for Admin IDs gives an error saying "Failed to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service...",
however, normal user accounts just get a message when logging into the server "The Group Policy Client Service Failed the Logon. Access is denied."
I haven't opened a case with Microsoft yet, but we about ready to because of the increase in these errors.
If you have any further suggestions that would be great, otherwise I'll provide an update once I get word back from Microsoft.
**EDIT -- apparently I mistook the the server's SCM's actions as my own. I was able to successfully crash the GPSVC service by killing the hosting svchost process, however, after I crashed it and let it sit crashed for awhile when I attempted
to restart either by starting a svchost task, or running gpupdate /force it failed. Either that, or there is a timing issue where if we don't restart the svchost process, or run gpupdate /force quickly enough it won't be able to recover without a reboot. -
