Slow sync and huge synservices.log file

If you get slow sync and huge ~/Library/Logs/Sync/syncservices.log file, check that iSync is log logging everything it can.
In terminal, type :
defaults read -g SyncServicesLogEverything
if it returns YES, then here is your probem, just turn it off or delete this default :
defaults delete -g SyncServicesLogEverything

Can you specify the versions of the iPhone OS, Windows XP and iTunes??

What is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files.

what is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files. I am confused
as per my knowledge undo tablespace is used to store the undo information when a table is being updated so that, just incase we need to rollback a transaction we know what was present in the table earlier.
when a transaction fails the SMON performs the rollback of the data.
This undo data is stored in the undo tablespace and read consistency if any is enforced.
is my understanding till here correct?
Now, can this undo data/before image not be stored in the redo log buffer and online redolog files?
can redo-log files not store this information?
in fact, is it that when undo tablespaces exist in a database, the undo data/before image is stored in both the undo tablespace and also the redo log files?
kindly clarify my doubt.
thank you.

This question has been asked many times before. The answer is always the same.
Yes, redo contains the before image of data (and the after-image). Therefore, it **COULD** be used to roll back a transaction.
BUT... Redo is written sequentially. Using it to rollback your transaction would involve reading through all the redo written by maybe thousands of other people. It would be painfully slow.
Your transaction is, however, directly linked to just the UNDO that it generates (which is JUST the before image of the data). So, your undo is your undo and doesn't share space with anyone else's undo. Therefore, using it to roll back YOUR transaction is fast.
The fact that undo is only the before image of the data also makes it faster than wading through a sea of before and AFTER images as you'd find in redo. About twice as fast, in fact, since there's half the data. Roughly.
Redo also gets written and flushed to disk whenever there's a commit, 3 seconds are up or too much (1MB, actually) redo gets generated between flushes caused by other factors. Your redo gets flushed when those things happen, even if you haven't actually committed your transaction. And redo logs recycle themselves, meaning that your redo -even if your transaction hasn't been committed yet- can be over-written by later transactions. Try rolling back when that's happened, if redo was the source of your rollback data!
Undo, however, cannot be over-written if the transaction has not been committed. Ever. If you don't commit for three years, there will be three years' undo stored in your database (assuming you had the space, of course!).
I could go on, but that will do. Redo is there fore RECOVERY, after catastrophe. Undo is there for read-consistency (and the occasional change of mind). Two different functions. Two different mechanisms. Each one highly tuned to doing what it does, why it does it, most efficiently and effectively.

What is the OS version of the PC you are running and is it physical machine or virtual machine that is running the HRC client ..
OS Version Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and it’s a physical machine.
. The Max DB Connections for Report Client Sessions is set to 5 for each servers (There are two servers). The no of HR Sessions is set to 10.
I wanted to know if there is a way to find the HRC sessions active now and terminate the one or more or all of that sessions from the server end ?

We have had this "PRX5" problem with Exchange 2013 since the RTM version. We recently applied CU3, and it did not correct the problem. We have seen this problem on every Exchange 2013 we manage. They are all installations where all roles
are installed on the same Windows server, and in our case, they are all Windows virtual machines using Windows 2012 Hyper-V.
We have tried all the "this fixed it for me" solutions regarding DNS, network cards, host file entries and so forth. None of those "solutions" made any difference whatsoever. The occurrence of the temporary error PRX5 seems totally random.
About 2 out of 20 incoming mail test by Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer fail with this PRX5 error.
Most people don't ever notice the issue because remote mail servers retry the connection later. However, telephone voice mail systems that forward voice message files to email, or other such applications such as your scanner, often don't retry and
simply fail. Our phone system actually disables all further attempts to send voice mail to a particular user if the PRX5 error is returned when the email is sent by the phone system.
Is Microsoft totally oblivious to this problem?
PRX5 is a serious issue that needs an Exchange team resolution, or at least an acknowledgement that the problem actually does exist and has negative consequences for proper mail flow.

Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

Dataguard lost both Primary redo log and standby redo log files

Hi,
I am new to data guard, i came acorss a scenario where we loose both primary redo log file and standby redo log files.
Can someone please help me understand how to recover from this situation.
Thanks!

>loose both primary redo log file and standby redo log files
We have to be very clear.
There are (set A) online redo log files and (set B) standby redo log files at (location 1) Primary and (location 2) Standby.
The standby redo log files, depending on the configuration, aren't strictly mandatory. The standby can be applying redo without online redo log files present as well, depending on how it was setup.
So, the question is : Did you lose online redo log files at the primary ? Didn't the primary shutdown itself then ? If so, you have to do an incomplete recovery at the primary OR switch over to the standby (which may or may not have received the last transaction, depending on how it was configured and operating) OR restore from the standby (again, with possible loss of transactions) to the primary.

Rolling weblogic.stderr and weblogic.stdout log files

Is there a way of make the -Dweblogic.stderr and -Dweblogic.stdout log files, rotate by size or time? We are running into 100MB+ files because we can't find any documentation about how to rotate these files.
Thanks,
Rajesh

The stdout and stderr output options in weblogic apply to the jvm process using the standard unix standard in/ standard out redirection; therefore, BEA has not included a native method to rotate these files.
However, in weblogic 10, if you place these files in the same directory as the weblogic output log (not to be confused with -D=/path/to/stderr.log and -D=/path/to/stdout.log they will be rotated every time you restart the server.
The other way to get fine-grained log rotation on these files is to use a standard log rotation mechanism such as logrotate: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html
The other option is to address logging using an application framework such as log4j from a development standpoint.
As of right now, these are your only options, unless someone puts in a feature request to BEA.

How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad

How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad?
OBS!
There are NO files apearing in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<name of iPad> so where else can i find it?
I want to force it to produce a log, or find it within the iPad.
It is needed for support of an app.

Not sure on porting out the log data, but you can find it under General->About->Diagnostic&Usage->Diagnostic&Usage Data. It will give you a list of your log data, and you can get additional details by selecting the applicable log you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Help fixing a huge windowserver_last.log file

While using Omni Disk Sweeper, I discovered that my windowserver_last.log file is in excess of 8GB in size. I'm not very unix command savvy, but I am trying to reclaim the space without wiping something important. I'm unable to open the file using console because it crashes every time it opens that log. I have looked at the console and it has an error code that posted 25 times in less than a second. I've copied the error code below.

From this, I have posted the last 8 lines of code from the console as well. I have seen that thisw problem was encountered by someone before, but I don't know how to fix it without probably breaking my PB. If anyone can give me some guidance on how to fix it, or let me know if this is normal, thanks.

Mackeeper and daily.out log file

This is not a question, but a tutorial garnered bits and pieces from the communtiy.
If you have downloaded Mackeeper, you should check your daily.out file. It continues to try to run every 10 sec. even when you have trashed it (via their uninstall instructions) and will fill up that file over time. ( 10.4 gigs in my case on the daily.out log file....).
Disclaimer note: I am using OSX 10.6.7 but this should work for most OSX systems with this bug.
I recently found this recurring cycle.
Fri Mar 29 06:42:29 admin-admins-power-mac-g4-3 com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[103] (com.zeobit.MacKeeper.Helper) <Warning>: Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

....and could only see it happening by watching it log every 10 sec. in the Mac Console.app. (Was not registering in Activity Monitor.app). This apparently has been going on for over 2 years even though I thought I had uninstalled Mackeeper via their own instructions.
This has the unfortunate consequence of filling up your daily.out log over time (mine was at 10.3 gigabytes after a little over 2 years... imagine infinite pages upon pages of the same stupid recurring message).
If you have ever downloaded MacKeeper, I strongly suggest you view your daily.out log file via Console.app. You can see Mackeeper working simply by viewing “All Messeages” in Console if it’s still running... or trying to run (every 10 sec.), that is the problem, and follow carefully all the steps listed here: http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/ .Use the 2nd portion of the tutorial. Do not trust that by simply dragging and dropping the app. file into trash you have gotten rid of this beast (even though Mackeeper says you can).
Ironically, I found this anomaly using the freeware GrandPerspective (1.5.1) http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ and noticed a huge, very pretty, yet clear (not subdivided) block in the colored rectangles right away (the software was so intuitive, I simply clicked the block and then the “Reveal” button) and saw that my daily.out file (a file I didn’t even know I had) was at 10.3 gigs.
The highlighted large light yellow area is my daily.out log file.
(Note: you can give a donation to sourceforge.net if you think it helped you.) I find it ironic simply because I’m using freeware to free up hard disk space and speed up the computer, by getting rid of malware that claimed to do the same (Mackeeper) for a fee.
Onward... You then need to go into terminal (something I’ve never done before... just be careful and unintimidated) and follow these instructions to delete or empty your daily.out log file. (cannot be done with a simple drag and drop to trash). I found terminal instructions for deleting (not harmful and will reconstruct) or emptying the daily.out files here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1229894
After a try or two, this did not work for me somehow... (user error?) but this did...
Some files are locked. In order to delete locked files, go to Apps/Utilities/Terminal, use Terminal command line : sudo rm -rf ...add one space after “f” then drag the file “daily.out” that grandperspective “revealed” into the terminal, hit “return/enter” type admin. password. Hit “return” again.
The files should delete. You will see more HD space (in my case 10.3 gigs... small these days perhaps, but can throw an almost full HD off). The daily.out log file should reconstruct on your mac’s next scheduled daily. Obviously, you should read your daily.out log file via Console.app first before delete to determine the problem.
Hope this helps.
(Disclaimer: I don't work for sourceforge, I am a mere musician trying to get the job done.) Thanks to all the other posters.

Hmm. So your weekly and monthly clean-ups are running normally - I had thought there might be something wrong with them. It seems to be alot of kernel debugging entries that are making it grow so much. Did you deliberately do something to turn it on? You could try, in terminal,
sudo rm /var/log/daily.out
- it will ask for your admin password to confirm it. Then maybe do a system shutdown/restart to see if that kills the debugger logging. I don't know how to turn it off.

Sync database using archive log files

Hi,
I am having two databases A nd B. A is the live Database. I need to replicate the A database and its name as B. I had done the replication using hotbackup.
1. create the B database
2. then take the hotbackup and copy the files to the B database
3. Then delete the controlfile, logfiles and datafiles then paste the files from A database.
4. Recreate the control files in B database
5. Now the B database is up and running.
But my question is in A database is still live and its generating archive log files. I would like to know how to sync the B Database similar to A database using archive log files.
Kindly share me an example..
Rgds..

As you have renamed and opened the clone database, it is no longer the same DBID / Database Incarnation as the source. As you point out, it is not a standby database.
You cannot apply archivelogs from the source database to this clone.
You have to consider [Oracle Streams|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14229/toc.htm] to implement data replication.

Huge system.log file filled with over a million messages about NSATSTypeset

Hi,
I just happened to notice the system.log file on my MacBook Pro laptop was absolutely huge - over 1.2 GBytes in just one day. Almost all of it is messages like this:
Mar 31 12:26:23 macbook quicklookd[228]: <NSATSTypesetter: 0x146b40>: Exception * table 0x1473caa0 has block 0x147b3040 rather than 0x147b4850 at index 7573 raised during typesetting layout manager <NSLayoutManager: 0x124140>\n 1 containers, text backing has 16461 characters\n selected character range {16461, 0} affinity: downstream granularity: character\n marked character range {16461, 0}\n Currentl

Ignoring...
and there are over 1.3 million of these messages!!!! There is a tiny bit of variation in some of the numbers (but not all). That is just a little bit more than the total number of files I have on the hard drive in the laptop, so it would appear that the quicklookd is doing something to each and every file on the computer. Any idea why all of a sudden these messages appear and why so many. I only have about 7 versions of the system.log files and none of them are even close to this big, but the one one thing I did do today that I have not in a few weeks is reboot my laptop because of another problem with the laptop screen not waking this morning from being put to sleep last night (was just black but computer was running and could login to it from another computer in the LAN it is attached).
Any ideas why this is happening, or is this something that always happens on a reboot/boot rather than waking from sleep. Why would the quicklookd be printing out so many of these messages that are almost exactly alike???
I have only had this MacBook for a few weeks, so don't have a good feel for what is normal and what isn't yet.
THanks...
-Bob

Bob,
Thanks for your further thoughts and the additional information. My guess is that Quick Look does its file processing independently of whether or not or how recently the computer has been rebooted. The NSATSTypesetter messages filling up the log file are almost certainly error messages and should not occur with normal operation of Quick Look. I suspect that your reboot doesn't directly have anything to do with this problem. (It might have indirectly contributed in the sense that either whatever caused the need for the reboot or the reboot process itself corrupted a file, which in turn caused Quick Look to fail and generate all those error messages in the log file.)
In the meantime I may have a solution for this problem. This morning I rebooted in single user mode and ran AppleJack in manual mode so that I could tell it to clean up all user cache files. (I'd previously downloaded AppleJack application from http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ . To boot in single user mode hold command and s keys at startup chime. ... Run the five AppleJack maintenance tasks in order. The third task will give you the option to enter numbers of users whose cache files will be cleaned. Do this cache cleaning for all users.) In the six hours since I ran AppleJack I've seen exactly two NSATSTypesetter error messages in /var/log/system.log . This compares with hundreds of thousands in the same period yesterday. I just set an iCal alarm to remind me to report back to this discussion thread in two weeks on this issue.
Best,
Chris.
PS: Above you mention 7 log files. Are the older ones of the form system.log.0.bz2 ? If so they have been compressed. Just because they are small doesn't necessarily mean there are not a lot of nearly identical error messages. Uncompress to check. I haven't tried this because large files are very inconvenient to work with on my old iBook.

How to fetch and display arbitrary log files from a managed host?

We are creating a small management portal for a custom application and need a way to display, in a browser, the contents of an arbitrary log file located on an EM managed host. The effect we are looking for is similar to what you get when you show the contents of a database alert log using EM.
I want to extend the EM agent to get the log and display the contents, but see two problems: (1) it seems like we would have to schedule the fetch of the log contents to happen on a regular basis and would not be able to do it on demand and (2) storing the results in the EM repository seems like it could consume a pile of storage, even if it only stores the logs for 24 hours.
I am pretty sure we can bypass the repository somehow because I think the "show database alert log" EM process does so. Of course, I can't really be sure how this code is getting the alert log, but it seems reasonable to assume it is using the management agent.
Is there some API for the EM Agent that I am missing?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

From within OEM it doesnt look possible. User defined metrics (UDM) can only return number or a string. The alertlog fetch is done via alertlogViewer.pl while being passed a couple of parameters.
OEM does have a preliminary/rough api available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/emx/index.html but I havent seen anyone make use of it yet.
If you use just a web connection then you will probably run into security issues as a web server can usually only view/access stuff under their htmldoc dir.
Seems like some non-OEM very custom code is what you seek..
