Smartfilter Transaction Logs on CE

Hi
I'm having real problems getting a CE running ACNS 5.1.5.2 to export the CE logs for CYFIN to report on.
Its creating the HTTP logs but only exporting the tftp logs and couple of others so I know the ftp server is working.
I've tried it from the CLI and the GUI and seem to have more luck from the GUI.
Config is:-
transaction-logs enable
transaction-logs log-windows-domain
transaction-logs archive max-file-size 10000
transaction-logs archive interval 120
transaction-logs export enable
transaction-logs export interval 5
transaction-logs export ftp-server 192.168.10.1 anonymous **** /logs
transaction-logs format apache
(if there are any typo's above its because I've typed them rather than copying so ignore them please).
Any help would be great, its one of those backs against the wall situations.
Cheers
Mark

Hi
Thanks for the response, I've had problems trying to get this to work for ages. I did have it working briefly in the lab (but not always the best test situation).
I've just logged a TAC case because I believe the export process failing is a bug. We cann get it to create the working files, archive them after a set period of time but they never get exported. If you manually copy the files over (using the same ftp information, address, user/password, directory) it works!
I found a bug that looks similar but its supposed to be fixed in the code we are running (5.1.5.2) and it relates to poor bandwidth, one of the tests was a locally connected ftp server on the same switch and that failed.
The engineer at smartfilter said it does work because he gave me the software version but I figure the latest(ish) version should work.
I'll keep the thread updated,
regards
Mark

Cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log

Hi friends,
My server Intelligence Agent (SIA) can not start because the database service "SQLAnywhereForBI" can't start also. I got the following error :
"I . 08/09 20:35:06. A read failed with error code: (1392), Le fichier ou le répertoire est endommagé et illisible.
E. 08/09 20:35:06. Fatal error: cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log"

inside the database log file.
Please, can you help me

I found the solution by following the advice given on the following forum:
http://evtechnologies.com/transaction-logs-on-sybase-sql-anywhere-and-sap-businessobjects-bi-4-1
In fact, I crushed the BI4_Audit.db and BI4_Audit.log files and I replaced with others that I got from another machine where I installed BO again and where the files are not corrupted . After I logged in to the CMS database by executing the command in the command line:
dbisql -c "UID = DBA; PWD = mypassword; BI4 Server =; DBF = C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_CMS.db."
Once connected, I start the command:
alter database 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_Audit.db' alter log off;
The query runs successfully.
And that's good, I can be connected to BO smoothly.
Thank you again Eric

How does one read the Unity transaction logs on Exchange?

I'm trying to find out who placed a call to whom on a particular day and time. A subscriber receives a blank email periodically with no "from" statement, just a timestamp. They don't have unified messaging. I want to see if the transaction logs (located on Exchange) contain that information but they are all cryptic symbols. Is there an application or utility to read tham? These are the files located in the \Exchsrvr\MDBDATA folder. This is Unity 5.x and Excahnge 2003. Thanks.

Hi,
I think you may be wanting to look at Message Tracking?

But here's also an explanation of the transaction logging and how to read them from the same site:

Transaction log and access log

The transaction log (TransactionLogFilePrefix) and the access log are stored
relative to the directory where the server is started rather than where it
resides as with the rest of the log files. Why is this?
Eg.
I start the server with a batch file contained in
projects\bat
My server is in
projects\server\config\myDomain
When I start the server the access and transaction logs end up in
projects\bat
while all the rest of the log files (such as the domain and server log) end
up in
projects\server
My batch file that starts the server looks like this
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -hotspot -ms64m -mx64m -classpath %CLASSPATH%
"-Dbea.home=e:\bea"
"-Djava.security.policy==i:\projects\server\config\myDomain\weblogic.policy"
"-Dweblogic.Domain=myDomain" "-Dweblogic.Name=adminServer"
"-Dweblogic.RootDirectory=i:/projects/server"
"-Dweblogic.management.password=weblogic" weblogic.Server
Thanks for help on this,
Myles

The same case with me, I sent email to apple support, but got not reply.
The apple status page indicated that every thing is fine now, what a joke.
Many devs are in this situation too, I guess we could do nothing but waiting for their system to come up.

RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
can this happened due to data base or log file corruption, if so how can i check on that to verify the issue
Its not necessary if the issue is with network it would happen every day IMO it basically happens when load on network is high and you transfer log file which is big in size.
As per message database engine was not able to restore log backup and said that you must rebuild log because it did not find out log to be consistent. From here it seems log corruption.
Is it the same log file you restored ? if that is the case since log file was corrupt it would ofcourse give error on wehatever server you restore.
Can you try creating logshipping on new server by taking fresh full and log backup and see if you get issue there as well. I would also say you to raise case with Microsoft and let them tell what is root cause to this problem
Please mark this reply as answer if it solved your issue or vote as helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it

Transaction log full

Transaction log is full in production system ,when i was tried login into sap system it show the error message 'SNAP_NO_NEW_ENTRIES'.
our system is db2 and AIX ,can any body hlep us step by step procedure for reslove the issue .
For best answer will reward.
Thanks
Imran khan

you have to increase the sum of the logs in order to enlarge the database log...plz do not forget that the log must fit the underlying file system, eg. /db2/<SID>/dir_log..so you might have to increase this as well using SMITTY...
(DB6) [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/AIX64] SQL0964C The transaction log for the database is full. SQLSTATE=57011
[root] > su - db2<sid>
1> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logfilsiz
Log file size (4KB) (LOGFILSIZ) = 16380
2> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logprimary
Number of primary log files (LOGPRIMARY) = 20
3> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logsecond
Number of secondary log files (LOGSECOND) = 40
so we have log file of max. 16.380 * 4.096 * 60 = 4.025.548.800 bytes (about 4 gb)...this needs to be increased by increasing either LOGPRIMARY and/or LOGSECONDARY...(assuming that your logfile size is 16kb...query db2 for your size!)
4> db2 update db cfg for <SID> using logsecond 80 immediate
DB20000I The UPDATE DATABASE CONFIGURATION command completed successfully.
SQL1363W One or more of the parameters submitted for immediate modification
were not changed dynamically. For these configuration parameters, all
applications must disconnect from this database before the changes become
effective.
5> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logprimary
Number of primary log files (LOGPRIMARY) = 20
6> db2 get db cfg for <SID> | grep -i logsecond
Number of secondary log files (LOGSECOND) = 80
7> db2stop
02/20/2007 09:17:12 0 0 SQL1064N DB2STOP processing was successful.
SQL1064N DB2STOP processing was successful.
8> db2start
02/20/2007 09:17:19 0 0 SQL1063N DB2START processing was successful.
SQL1063N DB2START processing was successful.
-> plz keep in mind that the sap system needs to be down when re-starting db2...
check via snapshot:
9> db2 get snapshot for database on <SID>
Log space available to the database (Bytes)= 2353114756 (= 2.353 MB)
Log space used by the database (Bytes) = 4329925244 (= 4.329 MB)
Maximum secondary log space used (Bytes) = 2993640963
Maximum total log space used (Bytes) = 4330248963
Secondary logs allocated currently = 46
Appl id holding the oldest transaction = 9
so now our log is about 6.5 gb ...see sapnote 25.351 for details...

What is the current schedule for 6.1.2 and will it fix the Exchange transaction log issue in 6.1?

Just spent the entire night with virtually no sleep with our firm's group of IT engineers trying to keep our Exchange system online due to massive transaction log growth. Confirmed the issue related to 6.1 calendar bug with Activesync. The workarounds are not practical for large groups of users who depend on their mobile devices for work. Our users have no way of knowing that they are causing an issue so the Apple guidance isnt terribly useful to communicate to 1000 users. When can we expect a resolution? The problem is only going to get worse as more and more users hit the bug. Does anyone know if the issue will resolve as soon as someone installs the 6.1.2 update, assuming that has the fix. Im not trying to bash anyone but this is a very serious problem in enterprise deployments.

The update was released some time today. 6.1.2 appears to specifically fix the Exchange issue causing excess comms and logging issues. However, although the update is available i do not see the notification badge on the Settings icon. Is this controlled by Apple or is there a user setting i am missing somewhere? I would prefer that all users see the badge to expedite user action.

Log Reader Agent: transaction log file scan and failure to construct a replicated command

I encountered the following error message related to Log Reader job generated as part of transactional replication setup on publisher. As a result of this error, none of the transactions propagated from publisher to any of its subscribers.
Error Message
2008-02-12 13:06:57.765 Status: 4, code: 22043, text: 'The Log Reader Agent is scanning the transaction log for commands to be replicated. Approximately 24500000 log records have been scanned in pass # 1, 68847 of which were marked for replication, elapsed time 66018 (ms).'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 20011, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on ServerName.'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 18805, text: 'The Log Reader Agent failed to construct a replicated command from log sequence number (LSN) {00065e22:0002e3d0:0006}. Back up the publication database and contact Customer Support Services.'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 22037, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'ServerName'.'.
Replication agent job kept trying after specified intervals and kept failing with that message.
Investigation
I could clearly see there were transactions waiting to be delilvered to subscribers from the followings:
SELECT * FROM dbo.MSrepl_transactions -- 1162
SELECT * FROM dbo.MSrepl_commands -- 821922
The following steps were taken to further investigate the problem. They further confirmed how transactions were in queue waiting to be delivered to distribution database
-- Returns the commands for transactions marked for replication
EXEC sp_replcmds
-- Returns a result set of all the transactions in the publication database transaction log that are marked for replication but have not been marked as distributed.
EXEC sp_repltrans
-- Returns the commands for transactions marked for replication in readable format
EXEC sp_replshowcmds
Resolution
Taking a backup as suggested in message wouldn't resolve the issue. None of the commands retrieved from sp_browserreplcmds with mentioned LSN in message had no syntactic problems either.
exec sp_browsereplcmds @xact_seqno_start = '0x00065e220002e3d00006'
In a desperate attempt to resolve the problem, I decided to drop all subscriptions. To my surprise Log Reader kept failing with same error again. I thought having no subscription for publications log reader agent would have no reason to scan publisher's transaction log. But obviously I was wrong. Even adding new log reader using sp_addLogreader_agent after deleting the old one would not be any help. Restart of server couldn't do much good either.
EXEC sp_addlogreader_agent
@job_login = 'LoginName',
@job_password = 'Password',
@publisher_security_mode = 1;
When nothing else worked for me, I decided to give it a try to the following procedures reserved for troubleshooting replication
--Updates the record that identifies the last distributed transaction of the server
EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1
-- Flushes the article cache
EXEC sp_replflush
Bingo !
Log reader agent managed to start successfully this time. I wish if I could have used both commands before I decided to drop subscriptions. It would have saved me considerable effort and time spent re-doing subscriptions.
Question
Even though I managed to resolve the error and have replication funtioning again but I think there might have been some better solution and I would appreciate if you could provide me some feedback and propose your approach to resolve the problem.

Hi Hilary,
Will the below truncate the log file marked for replication, is there any data loss, when we execute this command, can you please help me understand, the internal working of this command.
EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1

The transaction log for database 'Test_db' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'

My dear All,
Came up with another issue:
App team is pushing the data from one Prod1 server 'test_1db' to another Prod2 server 'User_db' through a job, here while pushing the data after some duration job is failing and throwing the following error
'Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2.'The transaction log for database 'User_db' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'''.
On Prod2 server 'User_db' log is having enough space 400gb on drive and growth is 250mb. I really confused that why job is failing as there is lot of space available. Kindly guide me to troubleshoot the issue as this issue is occuring from more than
1 week. Kindly refer the screenshot for the same.
Environment: SQL Server 2012 with sp1 Ent-edition. and log backup duration is every 15 mints and there is no High availability between the servers.
Note: Changing to simple recovery model may resolve but App team is required to run in Full recovery model as they need of log backups.
Thanks in advance,
Nagesh
Nagesh

Dear V,
Thanks for the susggestions.
I have followed some steps to resolve the issue, as of now my jobs are working without issue.
Steps:
Generating log backup for every 5 minutes
Increased the growth 500mb to unrestricted.
Once whole job completed we are shrinking the log file.

How do I view the transaction log in SQL Server 2008?

Hello,
I want to know how to view all the transactions taken during a particular period of time. I know there is a log file, ending with .ldf, created for each database. But how do I view this file?
Is there any tool in the SQL Server studio that can enable me to view the transactions for a given time period?
The reason for me wanting to view the log file is that, last week during a power outage, certain amount of data was not written. And one my friend had also messed up some of the data (unfortunately, she doesn't remember what she did).
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It enables you to read from you transaction log which contains very valuable information about stuff that is happening in your database.
select
* from fn_dblog (null,null) ..
EXAMPLE:
SELECT
FROM
::fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)
WHERE
operation = 'LOP_DELETE_SPLIT'
Thanks,
Leks

How to reduce transaction log in SQL Server 2000

Dear All gurus/experts,
I need your help. The problem is that the time to take to reduce transaction log in SQL server 2000 when I use shrink method. Are there another way to do that beside shrink database (right click : all tasks --> shrink database) ?
I appreciate your answers. TIA
Rgds,

Hi Steve,
Is this for a test system or a production system?
For a test system, as per Ad's post, setting the recovery model to simple should do the trick.
For a production system, I'd recommend you leave the recovery model at full and set up transaction log backups. This will keep the log file at a reasonable size and you will gain point in time recovery (eg if you back up the logs on an hourly basis, you can recover the database to the last log backup, meaning you would never lose more than an hour's work).
Kind Regards,
Owen

Performance problem with transaction log

We are having some performance problem in SAP BW 3.5 system running on MS SQL server 2000.The box is sized 63,574 MB. The transaction logs gets filled up after loading data in to a transactional cube or after doing selective deletion. The size of the transaction log is 7,587MB currently.
Basis team feels that when performing either loading or selective deletion, SQL server views it as a single transaction and doesn't commit until every record is written. And so as a result, transaction logs fills up ultimately bringing the system down.
The system log shows a DBIF error during the transaction log fill up as follows:
Database error 9002 at COM
> [9002] the log file for database 'BWP' is full. Back up the
> Transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
Function COMMIT on connection R/3 failed
Perform rollback
Can we make changes to Database to make commit action frequently? Is there any parameters we could change to reduce the packet size? Is there some setting to be changed in SQL server?
Any Help will be appreciated.

if you have disk space avialable you can allocate more space to the transaction log.
