Registering log statements with application.log

Hello,
I'm struggling with how to direct my log statements to application.log. If I just initialize a logger via java.util.logging within my application, its log messages are routed to the opmn log (unless I add a filter redirecting them to a file). Likewise, if I use System.out, they go to opmn. What's the best practice for directing your application log statements to application.log (note, I'm deploying to oc4j). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

^ ...specifically, how do I print to application.log from the EJB app.

Performance Issue with application logs

Hi
Has any one come across or aware how to address a issue in Event Management on R/3 as well as SCM side where the application log tables (BALDAT) are loaded causing peformance issue to the system?I have checked the SAP notes in this connection but its not of any help.Any event change is causes lot of logs registration.
Thanks in advance
Anders.

Hello Anders,
on R/3 side you can disable logs in transaction /SAPTRX/ASC0AO on AO Type and Event type level.
In the EM/SCM system you have per Event Handler Type options to control the log in transaction /SAPTRX/TSC0TT.
Logs for Event Messages can be disabled in transaction /SAPTRX/TSC0MBF.
Recommendation is that you disable all logging in big production environments and only enable it when you have any problems.
Best regards,
Steffen

The System Writer is not showing up when I view vssadmin list writers.
I have already tried every tip in the following links:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734021(WS.10).aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/bb760434-de80-4cb6-ae9e-bd253e4b037c/
I have also run sfc /scannow and rebooted. No luck.
I think the reason none of the tips at the above links work for me is that the System Error is NOT access denied like many others are getting, but is instead
The parameter is incorrect. I think that's the key.
Any ideas why I am getting this error and why my System Writer is nowhere to be found?

Hi,
You mentioned that “The System Writer is not showing up when I view vssadmin list writers.”
you may reboot the related services or re-register the writers, please refer to:

Split logs into per application logs

Hello
I have several applications or streams that I want to
seperate into seperate folders in the loging dir. I cant seem to
find any information on this. I know you can edit logging.xml
however I cant see how to alter it to support multiple logs
I presume I need to edit this line to something else
<Directory>${LOGGER.LOGDIR}</Directory>
maybe to something like
<Directory>${LOGGER.LOGDIR}/${APPLICATION}</Directory>
However im not sure how to get all the application names
there.

Hi,
check below link. It will surely help you solve your problem:

CF 7 application log

How do we get errored SQL statements in Application log?
We upgraded to CF 7 a few months ago - and have not been
seeing the sql statements in the application log when we have a sql
error. We see that an error occurred in the log - but don't get the
actual sql statement that errored out. We saw the sql statement
that was in error with CF 5.
I don't have access to the CF Administrator but I've checked
with the person who takes care of the server and he have been told
that all of the debugging options are turned on.
Does anyone know how to get the sql errors to display in the
logs?

I get the message when I open try to load ColdFusion
Administrator page or the index page on the cold fusion web site
that I am installing.

Application messages are in the system log instead of the application log

Hi SAP GURUS.
The standard output is created from the outbound delivery .
All the messages are hitting the system log instead of the application log .
This is after the upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 .
Please provide the details how to move the log to the application log since the output is the standard output (SAP provided output type ).

Message Count in application log of a job

After running mass job (example: EA29 - Mass processing of bill printout), there is an option to display the application log. The application log shows counts for the following: "Success Message", "Statistical Data", "Information", "Normal Error".
Are these counts stored somewhere like a database table?

Hi Blumtain,
You can find logs in the database with the function module BAL_DB_SEARCH.
You pass the log header filter criteria (structure BAL_S_LFIL), and a table of log headers (structure BALHDR) which satisfy the criteria is returned. You can pass this to the function module BAL_DB_LOAD, which loads these logs into memory.

How to setup rotation for application.log?

In order to get the Portal Performance Statistics running, we need to retrieve the page views from file application.log in directory <ORAHOME>\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\application-deployments\portal\OC4J_Portal_default_island_1.
This file continues to grow and therefore we want to set up rotation, in order to get one file per day.
We are following note 264373.1 and have read all documents and manuals about logging, but can not figure out how to manage this.
Can anyone help us? We are working with 9.0.4.1.
For Oracle employees: see also tar 4193327.994.

I can't speak for how portal uses the log file, but in general, the way you do it for a deployed J2EE application on OC4J is as follows.
Deploy the application EAR file. Lets say the app is called Test.
In the j2ee/home/application-deployments/Test directory, a file will be created called orion-application.xml.
If you look in this file, you will see an entry which looks like
<log>
<file path="application.log" />
</log>
This defines the log file for this application.
Now if you want to setup log file rotation for this app, edit the orion-application.xml file and firstly, comment out the above.
Note: you can leave the log tag in if you wish, but you'll get double log messages. Remove it if you do this in production and are trying to conserve space ;-).
Then add in the below to setup ODL based logging for this application:
<log>
<odl path="logdir"
max-file-size="1000" max-directory-size="10000" />
</log>
What this does it to tell OC4J to output the log messages using it's ODL format model, to create a directory called logdir (in the current directory) and then to start writing to log files called log.xml in that directory.
The max file size of log.xml is 1000KB, and the max directory size of the new logdir directory will be 10MB.
The ODL logging system will manage the log files in this directory according to these constraints -- when a log file gets bigger than max-file-size it gets archived as logN.xml. When the overall directory size gets bigger than the max-directory-size specified, the oldest log file from the list is removed so that the max directory size is honoured.
I don't think we can specify a rollover period (ie one day) with ODL. I'm pretty sure it's just file size based only.
I think the above should apply to Portal since it runs on OC4J. In which case, you'd change the orion-application.zml in the <ORAHOME>\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\application-deployments\portal directory instead of j2ee/home/application-deployments/<app-name>.
However, I can't speak officially for Portal since I don't work with that product. From a pure OC4J perspective the above holds true and works.

Can't create log file with java.util.logging

         DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
         String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);
         String logFileName = dateStr + "SEC" + ".log";
         Handler fh;
         try
           fh = new FileHandler(logFileName);
           //fh.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());
           fh.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
           logger.addHandler(fh);
           logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
           logger.log(Level.INFO, "Initialization log");
           // force a bug
           ((Object)null).toString();
         catch (IOException e)

         catch (Exception e)
              logger.log( Level.WARNING, "Exception", e);
}But when I use this class...

      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}and I call it in a backingBean, I have the message in console but the log file is not created.
TraceUtils.initLogger("SEC");why?
Thanks for your help.

I have uncommented this line in logging.properties and it works.
# To also add the FileHandler, use the following line instead.
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandlerBut I have another problem:
jdev ignore the parameters of the FileHandler method .
And it creates a general log file with anothers log files created each time I call the method logp.
So I play with these parameters
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,true);
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,0,1,true);
fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,10000000,1,true);without succes.
I want only one log file, how to do that?
