Portal Trace file monitoring in TREX

HI guys,
We have a problem with the trace file.

[16:33:22.078] http6616        - serving request /?slavestart
This trace file is repeated and filling the harddisk
Thus ultimately reducing the portal performance.
Any idea like which program in TREX generates this trace file ..etc
In general how to detect corresponding program of the trace file
will reward points for the good reply

vijay.

Hi Sanam,
For the TREX Preprocessor trace, You define the maximum file size for the input and output of documents in INI file - TREXPreprocessor.ini
The default size is set to 'Unlimited'
Please check the following values maintained in the configuration file.
Section: [ httpclient ]
Parameter: max_content_length
Default: Unlimited

Delete TREX Trace Files and Turn TREX Off

Hi ,
We have massive amounts of TREX trace files that are taking up all of the memory. How do I delete these files? How do I know what files to delete? Also we are not using TREX in our BI server, how do I turn this OFF so that these files and never created?
Note from Moderator- don't use all caps in title as it is seen as shouting
Thanks

External portal capturing internal portal URL in Log and trace file

Hi,
We are facing one issue in portal like we have two portals for internal (Intranet) and external (Internet) users.
Once users logged in the application and try to get the information about mylink from the external portal link (internet) they should not get any information about the internal portal.
But in log and trace file we can see the external portal link capturing the internal portal URL.
We need to find, from where system capturing the internal portal URL.
Thanks.

The tkproffed trace file is in seconds.
"set timing" is in hh:mi:ss.uu format. So 00:00:01.01 is 1.01 seconds.
You have to remember that most of these measurements are rounded. While your trace file says it contains one second of trace data, you know it's more.
One excellent resource for trace files is "Optimizing Oracle Performance" by Cary Millsap & Jeff Holt. (http://www.amazon.com/Optimizing-Oracle-Performance-Cary-Millsap/dp/059600527X ) I thought I knew trace files before, but this book brings your knowledge to a whole new level.
There is also an excellent WP by Cary Millsap ( http://method-r.com/downloads/doc_details/10-for-developers-making-friends-with-the-oracle-database-cary-millsap ) that gives you some insight.

Trace files generated by Portal

Our DBA has just sent me an email saying that Portal is generating "thousands of trace files" on the server with messages like this:
*** SESSION ID:(8.11147) 2002-08-05 15:46:12.338

I've never had/seen this problem before. Anyone know how to prevent this?
Thanks
Rich Zapata

No version number and not enough information in what you posted to help you.
Did this just start?
If so what actions preceded it?
Or is this a new install?
Have you tried bouncing the instance?
If it were my system I would have already searched the knowledgebase at metalink and opened an SR if I couldn't find a solution. Did you?

Too many trace files apparently created on behalf of Health Monitor

Every ~10 minutes I see two pairs of trc+trm files that appear to be nothing more than a nuisance. A nuisance because if you don't get rid of them, then commands such as "ls -lt | head" take too long to complete. Even after setting disablehealth_check=true, the files still keep coming. The only thing I can find is a correspondence between the rows in v$hm_run and these trace files.
The RDBMS appears to be working fine and there's nothing in the alert log that would explain their existence. Having said that, I'll go ahead and admit that I don't these are false negatives but it sure looks like they are.
Below is a sample of the two trace files in the 4 files that get created every 10 minutes. Thanks.

The corresponding data from v$hm_run (and the view definition itself) show that status = 5 means 'COMPLETED'. The interesting thing is that RUN_MODE.RUN_MODE is 'REACTIVE'. This seems to say that it's not a proactive thing. But if something is reacting, then why is it showing no error (i.e., ERR_NUMBER = 0)?

Best practice to reduce size of BIA trace files

Hi,
I saw alert on BIA monitor says 'check size of trace files'. Most of my trace files are above 20MB. I clicked on details it says "Check the size of your trace files. Remove or move the trace files with the memory usage that is too high or trace files that are no longer needed."
I would like to reduce them these trace files but not sure what is the safetest way to do it. Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks.
Mimosa

Mimosa,
Let's be clear here first. The tracing set via sm50 is for tracing on the ABAP side of BI not the BIA.
Yes, it is safe to move/delete TrexAlertServer.trc, TrexIndexServer.trc, etc from the OS level. You can also right click the individual trace when you enter the "Trace" tab in the TREX Admin Tool (python) and I believe there is options to delete them there but it is certaintly OKAY to do this on the OS level. They are simply recreated when new traces are generated.
I would recommend that you simply .zip the files and move the .zip files to another folder in case SAP support may need them to analyze an issue. As long as they aren't huge, and if hard disk space permits, this shouldnt be an issue. After this you then will need to delete the trace file. It is important that if a trace file has an open handle registered to it then it wont let you delete/move it. Therefore it might be a good idea to do this task when system activity is low or non-existent.
2 things also to check:
1. Make sure the python trace is not on.
2. In the python TREXAdmin Tool, check the Alerts tab and click "Alert Server Configuration". Make sure the trace level is set to "error".
Hope that helps. As always check the TOM for any concerns:

Timestamp in Java log and trace files.

Hi SAP'ies
Running PI 7.11 on AIX 6.3 we face an issue with the content of log and trace files from Java.
Eg.
The file DefaultTrace_00.0.trc is timestamped 18-05-10 11:16:15. (The same time as the time of the OS/AIX)
Looking inside the file the last statement is timestamped 2010 05 18 09:16:15.
How can we ensure that the content of these Java files are timestamped with OS time?
Looking into ABAP files like dev_w0 the timestamp of the file and the content are equal.
Best regards,
Teddy Løv Andersen

Hello All
Best way to convert the default trace time is , visit the site
http://www.csgnetwork.com/epochtime.html
here enter , for example if you have the following in default trace
#1.#00265510DE7300120000000F000022030004C77AD7309DF5#1345230317066#com.sap.portal.fpn.rdl
1345230317066 is time stamp , enter this in the above site to get the time

Automatic deletion of old archive files and trace files

I've got a database that must run 24x7 without being monitored by a DBA.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete and uncatalog old archive files?
2. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete old trace files located in udump and bdump?
Thanks in advance

1. When you say 'uncatalog old archives do you mean that your database is backed up using RMAN and a catalog? If this is the case then RMAN can delete the backed up archives for you. Just add 'delete input' to the end of the 'backup archive log...' line in your backup script.
2. Oracle can't delete the trace files. Best way is to write a script that delete all files older than X days and schedule it to run every night.

SAP MMC and Trace Files

Hi
I want to get complete information on the "exit codes" in SAP MMC for various server and other processes.
And also want to know that what are the various log files and trace file .what kind of logs/information they provide and if the Portal has been restarted then is there any way to find at what time the portal was down.
Thanks in Advance

Useful logs and trace files

Hello experts, for our Netweaver AS administration, I am in charge of periodically checking logs and trace files. I would like to know which are the most useful logs and trace files and the information each one will hold. I am familiar with "DefaultTrace.trc", and as of today it is the only one I have used, but I believe I should also be looking at other logs and trace files.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pedro,
If you are talking about JAVA only system defaulttrace is the best log/trace to look, there are other log files like application log, but maybe the best way to check you logs is using NWA (NetWeaver Administrator) on the following URL on your JAVA system:
http://<hostname>:<port>/nwa
From there you need to go to Monitoring -> Logs and Traces and then Predefined View/SAP logs.
My other recommendation is to change the severity level to ERROR for all you JAVA component within the Visual Administrator -> ServeNode -> Services -> Log Configurator -> Locations, otherwise it is possible that you see a lot of garbage on the defaulttraces. Anyway you can change the severity level per component, on demand, to investigate any possible problem.
The work directory is very imporant and maybe you can also check the file "dev_serverX" that also will give you information about any out of memory conditions and garbage collection activity if you have these values set for the server node using the config tool:
-verbose:gc
-XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
You can find more information on here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/e9d8a51c732e42bd0e7de54b9ff4e2/content.htm
Hopefully this help you, let me know if you need more information,

How to configure logs and trace files

Hello people,
We have just implemented ESS-MSS, we have around 25000 people using this service and every 2 days my logs and trace file in server gets full and portal gets down.
Please suggest how to solve this problem,how can i reduce trace and log files,,,,,any configuration or setting is there to configure this...please suggest and explain how can it be done.
Biren

Hi,
You can control what messages gets logged depending on the severity.
This can be configured using Log Configurator, check this how you can set severity to different locations.
