Rotate OC4J_Portal application log?

How can I rotate the OC4J_PORTAL application.log file that resides in %oracle_home%\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\application-deployments\portal\OC4J_Portal_default_island_1 without stopping the Portal?

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 I rotate application log in OC4J_Portal_default_island_1?

My application.log file in %oracle_home%\j2ee\oc4j_portal\application-deployments\portal\oc4j_portal_default_island_1 grows quickly. Can I configure it to rotate every day or when it reaches a certain size? If yes, how?
TIA

Edited by: Angrydot on Aug 25, 2008 9:52 PM - nothing

To rotate the OC4J log files under $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs, there are few parameters you can modify that are not documented in Oracle 9.0.4/10.1.2 documentation.
[New JVM parameters]
"stdstream.filesize"
Max file size limit of each archive. Unit is megabyte.
"stdstream.filenumber"
Max number of files that oc4j can keep as archives. The oldest file will be automatically deleted if the limit is exceeded.
[Usage]
ex 1: rotate stdout/stderr when the file size is reached to 2.5M byte.
java -Dstdstream.filesize=2.5 -jar oc4j.jar -out std.out -err std.err
OraHome\opmn\conf\opmn.xml
In order to get these parameters in opmn.xml you need to define it as follows:
<category id="start-parameters">
<data id="java-options" value="-server -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless =true -Dstdstream.filesize=0.2 -Dstdstream.filenumber=5"/>
<data id="oc4j-options" value="-out std.out -err std.err"/>
</category>
The new log files will be created under:$ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\home\home_default_island_1\
The file naming will be like:
std_2006_02_22_14_01_17.out
std_2006_02_22_14_16_25.out
Important notes:
1. Backup opmn.xml file before any modification.
2. Modify opmn.xml file to specify stdstream.filesize and stdstream.filenumber. See the example above.
3. Test and validate this solution in your test system first before implementing in Production.

$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/application-deployments/portal/OC4J_Portal_default_island_1/application.log
os the log of the "parent application". This is rather high level in the container. The message in the logfiles tells you that a procedure doesn't exist.
This can mean 3 things:
1. The procedure really doesn't exist
2. The procedure expects different parameters then passed
3. In the procedure a specific array member is called (but not found). (don't know how to explain this better in English, sorry for that).
It has been a while since I touched portal. In the past portal used a DAD (located in your HTTP-Server configuration). By changing the error style of the dad, you might find a more comprohensive error message.

Purging application logs automatically in Hyperion 9.3.1 products

Hi,
I am trying to explore purging options in Weblogic server.
Could someone help me in finding a setting(if there is one) under Weblogic properties files, which will purge Application logs automatically after 'n' number of days.
for example in D:\Hyperion\deployments\WebLogic9\servers\aas\logs directory, I see a lot of eas log files created with extensions from .log00001 to .log00427. Is there any way of removing these automatically without using any other windows scripts.
Thanks
Prasad

This works now after I did the change from WebLogic Administration comsole by going to each server's Logging tab ( Servers -> server_name -> Logging ). Set the rotation type to "Time", files to retain, and rotation interval ( default 24 hours ), etc. This will keep the files to a fixed count

Control the size of Essbase.log and application log

Understand that there are many message were written to the Essbase.log and application log. Is there any method to control what kind of message to be written to the log file so as to reduce the IO frequency of the server disk folders?
Thanks for your help!

CL wrote:
You might want to think about forcing your BSO/ASO PAG & IND/DAT files to go onto a separate drive volume from your base Essbase binaries. This can be tough to do in a SAN environment as it is difficult to know what is truly where.
Another option would be to use CLEARLOGFILE to reset the logs (this will delete them every time you stop/restart Essbase, so make sure you archive them if you need log history).
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/config/clearlogfile.htm
Yet another would be to set SSLOGUNKNWON to false to cut down on the log.
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/config/sslogunknown.htm
Regards,
Cameron LackpourThanks! We already separate the log files from the data files but they still in the same hardware server. Yes, in SAN environment we really don't know where it the physical drive.
Essbase do not have log rotate option like Apache and maybe we should archive the essbase log regularly and clear it up.
We don't have much unknown member case in our log. Anyway we will investigate the option SSLOGUNKNOWN
Thanks again!

How to create performance counter based on no. of errors generated in application log

i have written custom events into application log and am able to see those events as alerts in the scom console and now i want to see how many event errors are generated for every 15mins.(interval)performance counter with same event source or id. how can
i get started with this

Hi,
Please try to create event monitor Triggered on Count:
Trigger on count consolidation of events lets a monitor require multiple occurrences of the same event in a specified time window before it changes the health state to an error. The time window can be rotating time duration of specified length or
a specific window based on day of the week.
Trigger on count consolidation resembles trigger on timer consolidation except that multiple occurrences of the event are required instead of just one. When the time window is reached, the event count is returned to zero, and the specific number of events
must detected before the time window expires again for the health state to be changed.
More details:
Event Monitors

OC4J_Portal_default_island_1/application.log

Hi ,
i cannot find this file in my portal installation , i am using Oracle Portal Version: 10.1.2.0.2 (Build: 139)
$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/application-deployments/portal/OC4J_Portal_default_island_1/application.log
this file is important to me to generate performance reports from the portal where can i find this file?

It is quite simple to see where that file would be provided it has not been deleted and that the OC4J_instances were created using EM or by default installation.
Go to Enterprise Manger and Middle-tier; see which component is listed with a name like OC4J_ , eg. OC4J_Portal or OC4J_Custom, etc.
The file-system architecture for this application log file in an OC4J_Instance is as follows:
ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_InstanceName\application-deployments\OC4J-AppName\OC4J_InstanceName_default_island_1\application.log
For instance, in the following cases:
Instance            OC4J_InstanceName    OC4J-AppName   location
infrastructure        OC4J_SECURITY           SSO               %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\OC4J_Security\application-deployments\sso\OC4J_Security_default_island_1\application.log
middle-tier           OC4J_Portal             Portal            %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\application-deployments\portal\OC4J_Portal_default_island_1\application.log
middle-tier           OC4J_Portal30           Portal30          %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\OC4J_Portal30\application-deployments\portal30\OC4J_Portal30_default_island_1\application.log
BI-Discoverer         OC4J_BI_Forms           Discoverer        %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\OC4J_BI_Forms\application-deployments\Discoverer\OC4J_BI_Forms_default_island_1\application.logMake sure that you are looking at the right instances and applications.
Also note that on unix machines, all addresses are case-sensitive, and forward-slashes should be replaced with back-slashes.

Custom error message in SAP application log

Is there a way to add a custom error message to the SAP application log without passing the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4 and the Message class and number.
We want to pass a custom message from the BAPIRET2-MESSAGE without giving it a Message class and number. The reason for this is that we are using class based exceptions instead of the traditional message class with errors. When we catch the class based exception, we take the error text of the exception and put in in the BAPIRET2-message and set the BAPIRET2-TYPE as 'E'. Now we want to add this to the SAP application log.
The call to 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD' takes a structure BAL_S_MSG which is just like BAPIRET2. However this function builds the entry to the application log use the message variables MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4. There is no provision to pass in the BAPIRET2 message.
Add message to application log
CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD'
 EXPORTING
 i_log_handle = app_log_handle
 i_s_msg = log_message
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Did you see BAL_LOG_EXCEPTION_ADD?
This FM is represented by the structure BAL_S_EXC. This can have various versions as described below:
Data of BAL_S_EXC Structure / Use
EXCEPTION / Exception class from which an exception text
 is added to the log. This field must be filled.
MSGTY / Message type (MSGTY) of a T100 message.
 This field must also be filled for exceptions.
PROBCLASS,
DETLEVEL,
ALSORT, TIME_STMP / Message or exception attributes, such as
 problem class (PROBCLASS, for
 example, "very important"), level of detail
 (DETLEVEL, from 1 to 9), sort criterion
 (ALSORT, unrestricted) and timestamp
 (TIME_STMP). These fields can be displayed
 in the log (except TIME_STMP).
MSG_COUNT / This attribute is not used for exceptions.
Follow the link below for more details:

It looks like you might simply have run out of memory. It just looks like the JRE tried to adjust its memory map and run out space. When mprotect fails the problem probably isn't with the .so itself.
What are the memory characteristics of your machine? Including the heap and stack space that you allocate for your JVM, as well as the actual physical and swap space available on the server.

Any guidelines using RSAL_LOG_WRITE to post message in the application log

Hi SDN!
I've programmed a rather complex extractor. As most you will know, the real test is when the extractor goes live in productions;-) So in order to be able to check if everything works as designed - I've customized the extractor in order to post more or less entries in the application logs - This setting can be alterered in the uses system directly.
I've tested the functionality using RSA3 and the application log is filled as expected. The Application log object is RSFH and everything shows up fine. When tring to use it from BW - The application log gets no entries under object RSAP (Where they normally will end up).
I'm using the function module RSAL_LOG_WRITE to add entries to the same log as the macroes LOG_WRITE uses.
Does anybody have any experiance adding entries to the standard application log in the source system when extracting data into BW?
Best Regards

Log messages for 'auditing' are different in 'general' and'application log

Hi,
From UI, When I audit a file using a profile which comprises of user-defined 'rules/categories/analyzers', I will get log messages at ''File-name(Application) log window' and 'Messages' log window, which are located at bottom of Jdev UI page. One common message in both the log windows is
" <n1> violations, <n2> exceptions, <n3> documents, <n4> seconds>.
But here the 'n1,n2,...' numbers are dfferent in two windows though the log output is for a same file. In this the 'file-name' log shows the correct
Example:-
In 'file-name' log window ,it shows as:
3 documents, 8 violations, no exceptions
In messages window, it shows as
"Audit starting on EFC.jpr (Default)
Audit completed: no violations, no exceptions, 3 documents, 1 second"
If I use the 'pre-existed'(Jdev's) rules profile, I will get similar output in both log windows.
From this I concluded that there is something missing to register for a new 'rule/category/analyzer'.
Could you suggest me in this case. Do I forgot anything to do in any files of '<rule-implementation.java>', 'audit.properties', <add-in launcher>.java, extension.xml.
Actually, I want to use 'ojaudit' executable from command line to my project files. Here I observed that the output of the 'ojaudit' is similar to the above explained 'Message' log window in JDeveloper UI. But where the 'Message' log window output is not correct for user-defined rules.
Regards
Madhu

Romano,
In the upcoming production release (planned to be released next week), we added caching of authorized roles and permissions in JhsAuthorizationProxy class.
I suggest you wait for this relase, if the problem persists, it is most likely an ADF issue (as is the logging)

Doubt in creating program to display application logs

Hi,
I have doubt in creating a program to display application logs.
The standard transaction code SLG1 has been used to display Application logs till now by the user.
They came up with the new requirement on this.
The requirements were:
1)New custom program shoud be created like SLG1 with limited selection fields( data from, date to, Program name and User)
2) Detail list should be displyed immediately when this program is executed because SLG1 gives Basic list,Detailed list which is getting displayed when 'Detail view' is selected in the first list.
I have created one program with limited selection fields as per the requirement using the below function modules .
BAL_FILTER_CREATE
BAL_DB_SEARCH
BAL_DB_LOAD
and BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY
Issue : still I am getting the firt list.
both Basic and Detailled lists are getting triggered at the FM BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY.
Is it only the way to copy and modify this FM.
Could you please suggest me?
Thans in advace,

Hello All,
Thanks for your valuable suggitions.
I have seen most of the demo programs.
I found one fm'BAL_DSP_PROFILE_NO_TREE_GET' which avoids the tree list which is getting listed above the profile list.
I have been searching alot to omit the Profile list. I searched alot to find any function modules realted to that.
The requirement was only the Detail list should only be listed.
Could you please suggest me to avopid that profile list also?
Thanks in advance,
