Server Cleanup question?

Hi all,
We currently run 3 x ZCM 11.3 Primary servers. 1 Win2008R2 (VM), 1 x Win2008R2 (Physical), and 1 x Linux (physical).
The initial machine (Win2008 VM) was the original server, and has grown to be clunky, and prone to failures. What I'd like to do is decommission this server, and rebuild a new (Win2012R2) primary, with the same name/IP of the original server (to save us needing to modify agents).
Is this easily done? Has anyone been down this track?
Also, is there a way to 'clean' the content-repo, which I'm sure has content from long-since-gone bundles, etc. I assume that since the content exists on all 3 servers (they are all designated content servers), the 'real/active' content will replicate to any new server. yes?
Appreciate any thoughts ..

Mickers,

Server cleanup wizard problem - unable to connect to the WSUS Server Database.

I'm trying to run server cleanup wizard.. it starts to run and then after a while it gives me this error:

Some questions:
Are there any other databases running on this Std Edition SQL service?
[a] Yes there are, we have Kaspersky enterprise DB, Report Server DB and local application DB.
Are there any other services running on this WSUS Server?
[b] Yes there are, we have Active Directory, Kaspersky enterprise, SQL Server 2005, and WSUS all on the same server.
How many days since your WSUS server was first installed?
[c] It's been about a year now.
What is the physical size of the SUSDB.mdf file?
[d] 9,666,752 KB
What is the hardware configuration of this machine, including disk drives?
[e] Intel Xeon 1.86, 2GB Ram, HD C: 39GB - E: 25.2, running Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
How many client systems are you servicing from this WSUS Server?
[f] Around 40.
What products/classifications are you synchronizing.
[g] Windows XP-vista, Windows Server 2003, Office 2003-2007, SQL Server 2005.
Okay, for starters, you have an underpowered/overextended machine running Active Directory, ASP.NET, and a database server, all on a sub 2GHz CPU with 2GB RAM, and not enough disk spindles. The machine has had WSUS running for about a year and is 9GB in size.
There's no doubt in my mind that some of your performance issues are directly related to disk and database fragmentation.
There's also no doubt that some of your performance issues are directly related to memory starvation.
I'd suggest the following long-term fixes:
1. Get a second machine. Make it a dedicated database server. Provision it accordingly to support servicing multiple database applications.
2. Lacking #1, this machine needs more memory. It also needs more disk spindles. At a minimum the databases being serviced should be on a dedicated physical drive; ideally there would be two dedicated drives allocated for supporting database services. The
For the short-term fixes, do this:
1. During after-hours time, if you don't already have one, build a temporary machine that can act as a DC/GC, while you take this machine temporarily offline.
1. Shutdown the Update Services service, SQL Server database engine, and any other services dependent on the SQL Server database engine (Kapersky, and other reporting applications). Disconnect from the network to temporarly eliminate DC traffic. (You could also shutdown the AD services, but disconnecting the network cable is ever-so-much easier.) Defragment ALL drives.
2. Restart ONLY the SQL Server service. Obtain this SQL script to Reindex the WSUS Databases.
3. Restart ONLY the Update Services service. Attempt the Server Cleanup Wizard again. Run it in two passes. Pass 1 performing everything except remove unused updates. Pass 2 running only remove unused updates.
4. After completion of the Server Cleanup Wizard, reconnect the machine to the network and resume all other services.
5. If you're able to complete #3, secure the services of a well-qualified DBA to determine if there are any misconfigurations in your SQL Server setup that would account for why your WSUS database is 9GB in size -- such as improperly configured autogrowth parameters. Based on the products you're updating and only forty clients, 9GB is about 3x the maximum size I would expect to see in a WSUS database. It's possible this is simply caused by excess unused updates, it's possible it's caused by fragmentation, it's probable it was caused by unnecessary autogrowth of the database due to insufficient update maintenance. You'll want a DBA to assist you in shrinking that database after you successfully run the Database Maintenance and Server Cleanup Wizard.

False positive KB2478662 after Server Cleanup Wizard

This morning WSUS gave me false positives for several clients. I've seen FPs before, but I've never discovered what causes them. In fact, I'm finding it hard to even ask a useful question.
On Friday I ran the WSUS Cleanup Wizard. On Monday I found that our Server 2008 R2 box and all but two of our Windows 7 boxes report as needing .NET update KB2478662 - a long-superseded update from 2011.
I ran "wmic qfe list" to learn that neither KB2478662 nor its two superseding patches (KB2633873 and KB2539635) were installed on any of the unhappy clients. However, KB2972100 supersedes KB2633873 and KB2539635 (but not the earlier KB2478662),
and is installed on all the clients involved. KB2972100 is not listed as superseding KB2478662, the earliest in the chain, so it appears this sort of leapfrogging supersession may not be detected well by WSUS.
However: KB2972100 was installed two months ago, and KB2478662 didn't show before Friday; according to the Microsoft Catalog, none of the update packages has been updated recently; and I'm not finding reports from other admins of the ghost of KB2478662 emerging
from the shadows. I can only assume that running the Cleanup Wizard Friday somehow left WSUS in a state where this false positive could result.
Like I said, I can't decide what question to ask. Am I likely correct in blaming the Cleanup Wizard? If so, is there some way of cleaning up after the wizard? Or of preventing this sort of false positive in the first place? Or is there
some other common cause for this sort of FP?
I seem to get two or three of these FPs a year, and I always end up researching the chain of superseding updates, manually scanning clients until I'm sure the latest update is really in place - and then I decline the false positive. But I'd love to know
a better way to handle these, or to avoid them.

so I don't have a years-long database of approved updates.
That remains to be seen. It only takes one hour of overambitious update approvals to generate five years of content on a WSUS server. :-)
KB2478662 has never appeared before
KB2478662 is an update contained in MS11-039 and has existed since June, 2011. If your WSUS server is only a couple of months old, I'm pretty confident in stating that KB2478662 was part of your original synchronization. KB247862 (MS11-039) is not a superseded
update.
It's much more likely that you just did not notice it before.. but it's always been there.
(as I noted, KB2972100 was broadly installed in October) and has never had any approvals at all.
I can't speak to the question of approvals, but if it was broadly installed, then I'd guess that happened before you deployed this WSUS server and those updates were installed as a result of Automatic Updates. Given that it was released on Oct 14th,
that makes perfect sense.
I've never had the opportunity to decline it, because it's never appeared as "needed".
Those two statements are totally noncongruent. You don't decline an update because it is or is not needed, or was or was not ever reported as needed, you decline an update because it will **NEVER** be needed again at all.
None of the four updates I mention came out since I installed WSUS.
Correct, but not really relevant.
KB2478662 (MS11-039, Jun 2011) - already explained. NOT superseded, except for ITANIUM systems, which was superseded by MS11-069.
KB2539635 (MS11-069, Aug 2011) - SUPERSEDED by KB2633873 (MS12-016, Feb 2012), KB2604115 (MS12-035, May 2012), KB2729452 (MS12-074, Nov 2012), KB2742599 (MS13-004, Jan 2013), and KB2972100 (MS14-057, Oct 2014).
KB2633873 (MS12-016, Feb 2012) - SUPERSEDED by KB2604115 (MS12-035, May 2012), KB2729452 (MS12-074, Nov 2012), KB2742599 (MS13-004, Jan 2013), and KB2972100 (MS14-057, Oct 2014).
KB2972100 (MS14-057, Oct 2014) - The *CURRENT* update.
So since they all came out before you installed WSUS that means that ALL of them were ON your server the day you installed it, and TWO of them were relevant from Day One. The other two should have been immediately declined if KB2972100 was reported as 100%
NotApplicable.
If WSUS thinks KB2478662 is superseded, I have no idea why the Cleanup Wizard hasn't already handled it.
There's no "think" about it. Either the update is superseded, or it is not, and whether it's superseded and what supersedes it and what it supersedes is displayed in the Update Details in the WSUS console. One need only read the screen to get the
facts. In this case KB2478662 is NOT superseded (unless you have an Itanium server), and nothing "thinks" that it is (except you).
As for why the Server Cleanup Wizard hasn't dealt with it, one need only understand what the Server Cleanup Wizard DOES do with superseded updates. Superseded updates are declined *IF* (and only IF):
The update is superseded and has not been approved for at least 30 days.
The update is superseded and not needed by any client systems or downstream servers.
The update is superseded and the superseding update is APPROVED.
So... the ITANIUM instance of KB2478662 will not be handled by the Server Cleanup Wizard, because you have likely not approved any ITANIUM updates that supersede it. And the other instances of KB2478662 will not be handled by the Server Cleanup Wizard because
they are not superseded.
So, back to your original message.
KB2478662 WILL be "Needed" on any system where it is NOT installed, because this update is NOT superseded. Your original premise that this update is superseded is the root of all confusion.
Furthermore, neither KB2633873 nor KB2539635 superseded that package, but they are superseded by a newer update (KB2972100) which predates the existence of your WSUS server, so the presence of KB2972100 and the absence of BK2633873 and KB2539635 is 100%
normal and expected.
You were correct in noting that KB2972100 does not supersede KB2478662, but that's the point at which your logic broke down and asking yourself how 'D' supersedes 'C' and 'B', and 'C' and 'B' supersede 'A', but 'D' does not supersede 'A' might have led to
a re-evaluation of your conclusions.
Ergo... there are *NO* false positives. What is reported is FACTUAL.
HINT: (I've written this over a hundred times in the past five years).... The question you should be asking in such situations is NOT "What's wrong with the update?", but rather "What's wrong with the client?" or "What's wrong with
my analysis?" The WUA evaluates applicability based on a defined set of rules, and reports the update status to the WSUS server based on the evaluation of those rules. If the update is more than a week old.. I absolutely PROMISE you that there is *NOTHING*
wrong with the detection logic in that update and you need to focus your investigation on things other than the updates.

Simulating the server cleanup wizard from the command line

We have several servers that run WSUS 3.0 SP2. Are there command line equivalents (wsusutil, etc.) that perform the same tasks as the server cleanup wizard? The objective is to set up a scheduled task so that the server cleanup wizard does not have to be run manually.
Thanks in advance,
Sergio

Hi Sergio,
By default, there is no command line to run server cleanup wizard.
But you can run this wizard by writing a command-line tool (VB, WSUS SDK)that calls WSUS API.

WSUS Server Cleanup Wizard... to run or not to run?

Hi,
Sometimes on my server, the WSUS synchronization fails (operation timed out) and I heard that running the Server Cleanup Wizard could help. I also heard that nothing should be done in the WSUS console because it's managed by SCCM.
For SCCM, is it a good or bad practice to run Server Cleanup Wizard from WSUS console and why? SCCM isn't cleaning stuff already? I don't want to mess things up.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
In addition, you can run the PowerShell Script in Scheduled Tasks.

24GB RAM
1.5 TB space
Our AWs are typically 30GB in size. My question is, what is my capacity of jdbc thin client user sessions per box? I haven't been able to find much documentation on scalability with large AWs and a large user base. We will need to host reports for 6000 users moving to 16000 by next year.
We will be switching to 2x 1.6ghz 64bit opteron boxes this year sometime as well.

Server Cleanup 3.0 doesn't work with SL

I used to use a program called Server Cleanup 3.0. It was easy to use for the non techie like me. Now that we have upgraded our server to SL I can't get it to work. Does anyone know if it is supposed to or if there is something out there that did similar tasks? I get a prompt that says
Applescript Error Can't get <<class datS>> "users". (-1728)
Would love to get it back or something similar. I am not good with terminal.
Thanks

As for your immediate course and issue with this tool, please talk to whomever provided the package. (I don't use it, and it clearly doesn't work here.)
If I were constrained in terms of my available time or my knowledge or both (and I've definitely been there, as has most anybody), I'd likely not mess with this stuff. (What happens if this tool should run off the rails and delete something critical, for instance? I'd tend to dedicate available time to sequences such as periodic (reliable) disk archives; to ensuring I had backups of key data.)
There can certain be reasons to mess with the settings and caches and trash stuff, such as (insufficient) available storage. But then I might choose to toss more disk space at the problem.
You can get at most any of the client-based system settings via WGM and MCX, and either via the settings and preferences, or via the login and [logout|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11006617&tstart=0] scripts. (I don't know of a good and complete set of documentation for the knobs that MCX can tweak, but +dscl . -mcxhelp+ will give you some idea of what it can do, and definitely have a look at the [client management whitepaper|http://images.apple.com/education/docs/Apple-ClientManagementWhitePa per.pdf], and periodic-based options such as [this|http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-server/222003-auto-dump-user-trash.html ].)
Or have a chat with the software provider; you're basically running a script there...

Office Web Apps server security question

Hello,
According to this technet article Microsoft appears to recommend against allowing both external and internal users access to your OWA server.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435(v=office.15).aspx#viewers
"Files that are intended to be viewed through a web browser by using Online Viewers must not require authentication. In other words, the files must be available publicly because Online Viewers can’t perform authentication when it is retrieving files.
We strongly recommend that the Office Web Apps Server farm that you use for Online Viewers is only able to access either the intranet or the Internet, but not both. This is because Office Web Apps Server doesn’t differentiate between requests for intranet
and Internet URLs. Somebody on the Internet could request an intranet URL, for example, causing a security leak if an internal document is viewed."
Just trying to make sense of this. I am building a new Lync 2013 environment and I definitely want my internal users to be able to leverage the OWA server. So does that mean I should not publish that server to the internet? And if I do
not, does that mean my users will not be able to share a powerpoint presentation at all to external users? If this is all true and I'm understanding this correctly, does this mean that most implementations choose one or the other? Or does Lync not
use these "Online Viewers" so I can just disable them and users will still be able to share powerpoint presentations with external users?
Thanks for any help you can provide for this confusion.

No, you should publish to both internal and Internet on the same server, it's just how it's done with Lync. You can't really have two with Lync for this purpose anyway. Users will upload PowerPoint presentations to it when it's time to share,
no editing is possible, and the risk is generally minimal. You can shorten the cache time to help if you're concerned.
Regardless, from the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219442(v=office.15).aspx setting OpenFromUrlEnabled "Turns on or off the ability to use Online Viewers to view Officefiles from a URL or UNC path.". This is set to false and turned off by default.

Mail server setup question on mini server

I want use Mac Mini Server as my emailserver, I have some question here.
Is 500G hard-disk enough for storedata? After two or three years, incase 500G already not enough for store all email data, Could I have any solution for this issue? My company has around 100 email user.
Is Mac mini server can do 7*24job?

Is 500G hard-disk enough for storedata?
How long is a piece of string?
Seriously. Who can answer that question? no one here can. It depends on way more factors than you've given us. The use of IMAP (where messages are stored on the server) vs. POP (where they're downloaded to the client) will also make a difference, as will retention policies (do you require keeping all email correspondence for 5 years? or do you not care if users delete mail immediately?)
A good starting point, though would be to look at the average size of a user's mailbox now and extrapolate.
For example, I think I'm a fairly heavy email user and my ~/Library/Mail directory is 5.4GB. If everyone in your company is like me then you'd need 5.4GB x 100 users, or 540GB to store all their mail.
Most users aren't like me, though, but you'll have to determine that yourself.
After two or three years, incase 500G already not enough for store all email data, Could I have any solution for this issue?
Sure. You can add additional storage (e.g. via FireWire or some external mechanism) and migrate mailboxes there. You can even selectively store different user's mailboxes on different volumes. It's all possible.
Is Mac mini server can do 7*24job?
Sure. Many people are using the Mini 24/7. I wouldn't say it's ideal for critical systems but using mirrored disk will insulate you from the biggest problem. If this is going to be the main mail system for your company though, you need to consider other elements such as backup and failover (what to do when/if this machine crashes/explodes/is otherwise unavailable).

Mac OSX 10.5.3 Leopard STANDARD Server CHANGEIP questions

I am confused on how to check and change TCP/IP addresses via Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.3 server in STANDARD mode.
I watched the great Sean Colins Lynda.com tutorial on OSX 10.5 Server, but i still have a few questions with how to deal with DNSs and CHANGE IP
Here is the hardware & scenario:
-- G5 Silver Doors Tower with 1.7GB Ram and Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard 10 user server
-- Cablevision ISP with there BOOST service [that allows you to set-up a server and does not block ports 25 or 80]
-- NO Static IP from Cablevison [they change it once in a blue moon when they want so I rely on DYNDNS below]
-- Apple Airport TimeCapsule [with all latest firmware updates etc]
-- DynDNS account and client software installed on server to update the DYNDNS severs with the current Cablevisions TCP/IP address
Problem and Question
===
Three times a year I will need to move this server. 1/3rd of year and at setup it is on residential Cablevision Account and Apple TimeCapsule Router, Then 2/3 of year server will be behind two funky large networks where I will have to set-up manual IP, DNS, and proxy info
I need to know what the proper process is when I want to move the Mac. When the 10.5.3 STANDARD Server is in STANDARD mode can I just change the TCP/IP address in SYSTEM PREFERENCES...NETWORK ? Do I have to run the CHANGEIP command Afterwards [or Before]
Also, for DNS config on server does it always need to have the loop back self reference [127.0.0.1] or can it just be configed from the Airport and/or network?
And, big problem for now... dumbly when I set-up the OSX Server on the TimeCapsule Network I forgot to write down the TCP/IP address used. Now I am on the second funky corporate network and can't use the command:
sudo changeip - idon't_knowip 10.0.96.48 server.cmtenyoffice.com server.cmtenyoffice.com
Also, another question for the HOSTNAME... should it be HOSTNAME or FullyQuallifiedDomainName?
My HOSTNAME seems to be "CMTE-Server.local" but I specified the FullyQualifiedDomainName to "sever.cmtenyoffice.com"
NOTE: I do NOT have this domain registered and am not yet hosting a website or email server on this machine, but I may soon register the domain and then point MX records etc to the DYNDNS record that would point to server
Anyhow, to wrap up,
1- What is the proper process for changing the TCP IP address with a Leopard 10.5.3 STANDARD SERVER?
2- What do I do with CHANGEIP command if I don't know what the STARTING TCP/IP address is?
3- For HOSTNAME should I be entering the unregistered FQDN or the "CMTE-Server.local"
Thanks for any an all info.

Hi Eric
You use the one its using now.
If the Server is Standalone issue:
sudo changeip - oldIP newIP oldhostname newhostname
Even if nothing changes you can still issue the command, supply the system admin name and password and let it do its stuff. Prior to doing this you must change the address in the Network Preferences Pane. Although not necessary it does not hurt if you restart afterwards.
If the Server is an OD Master issue:
sudo changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 oldIP newIP oldhostname newhostname
You will not only be prompted for the system admin name and password but also for the Directory Administrator name and password. With both command you will get feedback as to what is going on. Obviously you will see more changes made if its an LDAP Server. Hostname will be the fully qualifed domain name (FQDN) defined in the DNS Service eg: myserver.mydomain.com.
man changeip
For usage. Actually prior to doing any of this and incidentally a good way of finding out not only the hostname but also the IP address associated with that name issue:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You should run this before/after making the change. If everything checks out OK it should report 'the names match, there is nothing to change'. This is a good a test that lets you know its worked. However its not the only test. I would run host, nslookup and dig also. Next set a client to use the Server for its DNS and then test connectivity with firstly the Server's fqdn and lastly its IP Address.
Ultimately the truest test is: "what impact has the change made on clients accessing the Server and its Services successfully?"
If the Server is a mature OD Master (possibly PDC as well) with DNS, Mail, AFP, SMB, iCal and any other 2-3 additional services configured and running then issuing changeip may appear - superficially - to have worked. Occsasionally - in my experience - serious problems begin to develop with the LDAP database to the extent where the only 'cure' is to demote to Standalone, sorting out DNS and re-promoting. This can have serious repercussions if you have not made preparations to limit the re-build time prior to changing the IP address and issuing the command. Equally it can be successful. However can you take the risk?

Final Cut Server Usage Question...

I have just started researching this product and confused a little about it. I am the IT dept at a small advertising agency that does quite bit of video work.
Mostly all of the workstation in the office are PowerMac G5's that clock in at dual 2.2GHz or above with 4GB of RAM
We also have an Xserve G5 (Dual) with 4GB of RAM a 2GB fibre card installed and an apple RAID system as well. The office is all wired with 10/100.
With final cut server - will they be able to actullay edit video over the network on the RAID through the Xserve. Is that what this software is for? Sorry for such a lame question. If not is this basically like Adobe's Bridge application?
Let me know.

Yes it does do basically what your saying, You can leave the source media on the server and just edit from your local machine. You can also download proxies (lower res version of the source media) and edit on a laptop or with a PC without having to move the large source files.
I cant imagine any reason why any company or small business using more than one editing machine wouldn't go for this solution
Does that answer your question?

Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

Hi
I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
Please help!
Thanks

HI aad1612,
Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
Close Safari
Open a Finder window
Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
Look for com.apple.Safari.plist

Server migration questions

Hi all: I will soon be migrating an OES2sp3 server to OES11sp1. I have read through the migration docs but still I have a few questions I need answered/clarified.
1. When installing OES11 on the target server, I have to give it a name and bring it into the tree. When the migration takes place, will all instances of the target server, both in OES and SLES, get renamed to that of the source server? Most notably the internal server CA_default certificate, which gets named during OES installation.
2. Prior to migration and docs say to create the driver store and print manager on the target server. Do I just give them a temp name as the transfer ID task will rename everything when it runs?
3. The server being migrated is our CA server. My plan was to move the CA to a different server temporarily to another OES server, and once the migration is finished, move it back. Does that seem reasonable?
Thanks, Chris.

I hate when I do that.

Given that you are asking about migrating from OES2 SP3 to OES11 SP1
then I suggest reposting in the OES11 (Linux) Migration forum @
https://forums.novell.com/novell-pro...oes-migration/
as this is a NetWare-related forum.

JCO Server implementation questions

Hi experts,
I want to try to create a JCO Server with the JCO 3 library.
I'm kinda lost in all the links I've found since there is still a lot of things from the JCO 2 on the internet and I don't understand everything I'm doing.
Please note that there is already a working Java JCO server with old IBM tools and we need to migrate to JCO 3.
So here are my questions :
What do I have to do exactly in the sm59 transaction ?
Here is what I get in the RSGWLST transaction http://i.imgur.com/IRgAyO8.png http://i.imgur.com/YyfDQbt.png (Loic-PC is my machine so I guess my java jco server is up.) Is everything ok ?
I have followed this link (Java Program for Creating a Server Connection - Components of SAP Communication Technology - SAP Library) to create my java jco server. What exactly are ServerDataProvider.JCO_GWHOST, ServerDataProvider.JCO_GWSERV and above all ServerDataProvider.JCO_PROGID)
How do I testmy Java JCO server ? I understood that I have to call STFC_TRANSACTION in se37 where I put my jco destination (previously set up in sm59 ?) and a string but I have a dump when I'm tying that.
I hope someone can help me, everything is still really blurry to me.
Regards
Here is the code I use to try to connect :
    static String SERVER_NAME1 = "JCO_SERVER";
    static String DESTINATION_NAME1 = "ABAP_AS_WITHOUT_POOL";
    static String DESTINATION_NAME2 = "ABAP_AS_WITH_POOL";
    static
        Properties connectProperties = new Properties();
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_ASHOST, "172.16.200.114");
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_SYSNR, "00");
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_CLIENT, "500");
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_USER,   "develop2");
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_PASSWD, "passw0rd");
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_LANG,   "en");
        createDataFile(DESTINATION_NAME1, "jcoDestination", connectProperties);
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_POOL_CAPACITY, "3");
        connectProperties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_PEAK_LIMIT,    "10");
        createDataFile(DESTINATION_NAME2, "jcoDestination", connectProperties);
        Properties servertProperties = new Properties();
        servertProperties.setProperty(ServerDataProvider.JCO_GWHOST, "sapdevdb02");
        servertProperties.setProperty(ServerDataProvider.JCO_GWSERV, "sapgw00");
        servertProperties.setProperty(ServerDataProvider.JCO_PROGID, "JCOServer");
        servertProperties.setProperty(ServerDataProvider.JCO_REP_DEST, "ABAP_AS_WITH_POOL");
        servertProperties.setProperty(ServerDataProvider.JCO_CONNECTION_COUNT, "2");
        createDataFile(SERVER_NAME1, "jcoServer", servertProperties);

Hi Loic.
The properties GWHost is Gateway Host and GWSERV stands for Gateway Server.
Please look at this link to get more details:
Possible Parameters (SAP Library - Components of SAP Communication Technology)
Could you please put your full code for this class?
I'm saying this because the code you have wrote only creates the propreties file that JCO uses to configure the server but you have to run your server through the main statement.
You have to do something like that on your StfcConnectionHandler class.
public static void main(String[] args) {
       step1SimpleServer();
See my example:
StfcConnectionHandler class--------------------
package main;
import com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException;

import com.sap.conn.jco.server.JCoServerFactory;
import com.sap.conn.jco.server.JCoServerFunctionHandler;
public class StfcConnectionHandler implements JCoServerFunctionHandler {
private static final String SERVER_NAME1 = "YOUR_SERVER_NAME";
public void handleRequest(JCoServerContext serverCtx, JCoFunction function) {
System.out
.println("----------------------------------------------------------------");
System.out.println("call              : " + function.getName());
System.out
.println("ConnectionId      : " + serverCtx.getConnectionID());
System.out.println("SessionId         : " + serverCtx.getSessionID());
System.out.println("TID               : " + serverCtx.getTID());
System.out.println("repository name   : "
+ serverCtx.getRepository().getName());
System.out
.println("is in transaction : " + serverCtx.isInTransaction());
System.out.println("is stateful       : "
+ serverCtx.isStatefulSession());
System.out
.println("----------------------------------------------------------------");
System.out.println("gwhost: " + serverCtx.getServer().getGatewayHost());
System.out.println("gwserv: "
+ serverCtx.getServer().getGatewayService());
System.out.println("progid: " + serverCtx.getServer().getProgramID());
System.out
.println("----------------------------------------------------------------");
System.out.println("attributes : ");
System.out.println(serverCtx.getConnectionAttributes().toString());
System.out
.println("----------------------------------------------------------------");
System.out.println("req text: "
+ function.getImportParameterList().getString("REQUTEXT"));
function.getExportParameterList().setValue("ECHOTEXT",
function.getImportParameterList().getString("REQUTEXT"));
function.getExportParameterList().setValue("RESPTEXT", "Hello World");

Accessing Server Logs Question

I'm working on converting an old ASP application to a Java one, and have some questions.
The customer wants a semi-sophisticated auditing system built in to the application, but I'm not sure OAS can provide the same level of detailed logs that IIS did (at least, not without a JNI DLL somewhere).
One of the reports requested, "Client Errors", wants to output the following fields:
- Requested File
- Error Code
- Total Requests
- Client Description
- Error Description
- Win32 Description
There are about 2 dozen other reports, as well.
The questions:
1. Can OAS log this sort of information in an extended w3c log format (Win32 Description might not be possible without JNI)?
2. How is the best way for the application to get to these logs? (I currently envision a regular job running to read the log into a database table)
Sorry if these are dumb questions. Any help would be appreciated.

Each Report Server has a log in which it record each time a report is run.

Server Cleanup question?
