Opening .dat and .log files on iOS?

I couldn't be sure which forum to put this under. I'm looking for an app that can open these two file types. Editing is not a requirement.

Its hard to say without knowing the actual format and contents of said files. log files can be plain text. So any Text editor should be able to open them just fine unlesss they log is in some other perhaps binary format.  DAT files are usually containers ofr other formats, so without knowng what is in them again its hard to suggest anythng.
What apps have you tried if any?

  • Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

    Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
    Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

    Yes.  The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

  • Change the Data and Log file locations in livecache

    Hi
    We have installed livecache in unix systems in the /sapdb mount directory where the installer have created sapdata and sapdblog directories. But the unix team has already created two mount direcotries as follows:
    /sapdb/LC1/lvcdata and /sapdb/LC1/lvclog mount points.
    While installing livecache we had selected this locations for creating the DATA and LOG volumes. Now they are asking to move the DATA and LOG volumes created in sapdata and saplog directories to these mount points. How to move the data and log file and make the database consistent. Is there any procedure to move the files to the mount point directories and change the pointers of livecahce to these locations.
    regards
    bala

    Hi Lars
    Thanks for the link. I will try it and let u know.
    But this is livecache (even it uses MaxDB ) database which was created by
    sapinst and morover is there any thing to be adjusted in SCM and as well as
    any modification ot be done in db level.

  • Can we store ORACLE DATA and LOG files in seperate file system

    I am installing NW2004s in HP UNIX Server with Oracle database
    I have selected the option as custom
    I would want the SAP datafiles to be stored in /sapdata  file system
    Log files to be stored in /oraclelog file system
    While installation SAP is just asking me for the location of SAP data files. It is not asking me for the location of the log files.
    (It is asking me for the location of control files)
    Hence as per my understanding the oracle log files can be saved only in  the same directory as oracle Data file.
    Please confirm

    I have heard reports of people that made some kind of synchronization between AD and OID, but I have no hands on experience with this. There are some notes on metalink that describe the process, but I try to stay away from AD as far as possible (I usually work on unix or linux environments and those don't really mix with AD).

  • Sql server data file and log file

    hello experts
    what is the best way to save data file and log file in a two node cluster environment. i have an active\passive cluster with windows server 2008r2 enterprise and sql server 2008r2. i am new to the environment and i noticed that all system and user databases
    including their data and log files are stored in one drive, just curious, what is the best practise in such kinds of scenario, thank you as always for your help.

    Make sure  you have valid/tested  backup strategy for both system and user databases.

  • How to defrag after Shrinking the data and log every night

    OK, my shop has a shrink job that runs every night. It shrinks the data and log files. DBCC SHRINKFILE (filename,1). We have recovery model Simple.
    So reading that SHRINK is horrible for the data file because of fragmentation, so looking to stop the daily job. BUt this job has been running everyday for years right after the ETL. We have a big nightly ETL process that (1) truncates several
    hundred SQL tables and then BULK INSERT from the AS400 (2) for really large tables we just bring in the last X number of days from the AS400 and insert those records into the SQL table. We have very few indexes, but do have some on the really
    large tables. FYI - The SQL Servers are at the clients' sites.
    What kind of fragmentation has the SHRINK on the data file caused? how would it affect the ETL, and retrieval of data during the day? how can the fragmentation be fixed? 

    Hello,
    Databases suffer from fragmentation on indexes as explained
    here, but they suffer from physical fragmentation at the storage level also. 
    When the shrinking process shrinks a data file and recover space from the disk and the data file needs to grow again as part of your ETL process the new portion of the data file will rarely be contiguous to the rest of the data file on disk, and if this
    shrink process happens many times, the data file may be spread among many tracks on the disk. This increases the disk requests required to write data on a fragmented data file and increases disk requests to create new data files. In general, fragmentation
    will originate that what should be a simple I/O request has to be broken on many disk requests, making disk activity and performance less predictable and making disk queues larger.
    My suggestion is to stop sql server services during maintenance window, defragment disk using the Windows Defrag tool or a third party tool, when finish start SQL Server services again, then defrag indexes on your databases.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to recover data and log

    Hello, everyone
    I re-installed my windows XP due to virus with the maxdb data and log files left. After that I reinstalled maxdb 7.6 again. How can I recover the db with the existed data and log ? I did not backup the db. I can not figure out a way. Please help me.
    Chu

    Hi Chu,
    creating a MaxDB instance from the data- and logvolumes is not difficult, but some requirements have to be fullfilled:
    - you still have the parameter file left
    - you still know the password of the database manager operator (DBM in OpenSource or CONTROL for SAP instances)
    That given, all you've to do is to re-register the database, via the db_create command:
    dbmcli -R "
    So, let's go for an example.
    I've a database called DB77, the dbm operator is called control, password is also control.
    I'll drop the database but keep the files (just like you have it ... hopefully) and re-register the database afterwards:
    >dbmcli db_enum
    OK

    Database reregistered, all files are OK, database online. We're done.
    Anyhow, you should in any case perform a backup before you reinstall your machine the next time. I don't know if you've still got all the files I mentioned, but if not - it's not possible to get your database back easily - if at all.
    Hope that helps,

  • System Center 2012 R2 install: SQL server Data file and log file

    This might be a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.  
    I'm installing a new instance of  System Center 2012 R2 on a new server, I'm stuck on the SQL Server data file section.  Everytime I put in a path, it says that tne path does not exist.  I'm I supposed to be creating some sort of SQL Server
    data file and log file before this installation, I didn't get this prompt when installing System Center 2012 SP1 or hen I upgraded from System Center 2012 SP1 to System Center 2012 R2
    My SQL is on a different server
    Thank you in advanced

    Have you reviewed the setup.log?
    On a side note, why would you put the database file on the same drive as the OS? That defeats the whole purpose of having a remote SQL Server. Why use a remote SQL Server in the first place.

  • How to design SQL server data file and log file growth

    how to design SQL DB data file and log file growth- SQL server 2012
    if my data file is having 10 GB sizze and log file is having 5 GB size
    what should be the size in MB (not in %) of autogrowth. based on what we have to determine the ideal size of file auto growth.

    It's very difficult to give a definitive answer on this. Best principal is to size your database correctly in advance so that you never have to autogrow, of course in reality that isn't always practical.
    The setting you use is really dictated by the expected growth in your files. Given that the size is relatively small why not set it to 1gb on the datafile(s) and 512mb on the log file? The important thing is to monitor it on an on-going basis to see if that's
    the appropriate amount.
    One thing you should do is enable instant file initialization by granting the service account Perform Volume Maintenance tasks in group policy. This will allow the data files to grow quickly when required, details here:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175935%28v=sql.105%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    Also, it possible to query the default trace to find autogrowth events, if you wanted you could write an alert/sql job based on this 
    SELECT
    [DatabaseName],
    [FileName],
    [SPID],
    [Duration],
    [StartTime],
    [EndTime],
    CASE [EventClass]
    WHEN 92 THEN 'Data'
    WHEN 93 THEN 'Log' END
    FROM sys.fn_trace_gettable('c:\path\to\trace.trc', DEFAULT)
    WHERE
    EventClass IN (92,93)

  • Need to remove unwanted data in log file

    hai experts,
                    how to identify and remove the unwanted data from log file.plz help me.
    regards,
    pugazh.

    brarchive takes a backup of all offline redologs, then deleted them. this is done at OS level.
    if you do not need them and you do not need archiving, a permanent solution is to disable archiving:
    stop SAP first, then:
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    shutdown immediate;
    startup mount
    alter database noarchivelog;
    alter database open;
    exit
    after this, you will never be able to do a recovery point-in-time, and won't be able to start online backups.

  • Process Flow ignores name and location for Control- and Log-Files

    Hi!
    Our OWB Version is 10.1.0.3.0 - DB Version 9.2.0.7.0 - OWF Version 2.6.2
    Clients and server are running on Windows. Database contains target schemas as well as OWB Design and Runtime, plus OWF repositories. The source files to load reside on the same server as the database.
    I have for example a SQL*Loader Mapping MAP_TEXT which loads one flat file "text.dat" into a table stg_text.
    The mapping MAP_TEXT is well configured and runs perfect. i.e. Control file "text.ctl" is generated to location LOC_CTL, flat file "text.dat" read from another location LOC_DATA, bad file "text.bad" is written to LOC_BAD and the log file "text.log" is placed into LOC_LOG. All locations are registered in runtime repository.
    When I integrate this mapping into a WorkFlow Process PF_TEXT, then only LOC_DATA and LOC_BAD are used. After deploying PF_TEXT, I execute it and found out, that Control and Log file are placed into the directory <OWB_HOME>\owb\temp and got generic names <Mapping Name>.ctl and <Mapping Name>.log (in this case MAP_TEXT.ctl and MAP_TEXT.log).
    How can I influence OWB to execute the Process Flow using the locations configured for the mapping placed inside?
    Has anyone any helpfull idea?
    Thx,
    Johann.

    I didn't expect to be the only one to encounter this misbehaviour of OWB.
    Meanwhile I found out what the problem is and had to recognize that it is like it is!
    There is no solution for it till Paris Release.
    Bug Nr. 3099551 at Oracle MetaLink adresses this issue.

  • How to open the server log file that displays messages of System.out.print

    Hi,
    I am working on a j2ee project. How can we access the default log file? I have put many System.out.println(..) method in different classes in order to get the program flow and to track the origin of the error.
    I opened the a log file named "defaultTrace.0.trc" in usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\log installation directory. Although it shows the ecxeptions, It is not showing the messages that i have written to console with the help of System.out.println(..) method.
    Can anybody tell me the location of the log file where i can find my messages sent through System.out.println(..) function?
    Regards,
    Sudheesh...

    System.out.println goes to console, which is not a file... This whole thing is much easier if you use standard logging:
