Strange stuff in my PCM debug.log

I have been installing patches on a number of machines and they were not
going away in my patches list for the devices. Looking in my debug.log I am
seeing the following strange entries on a number of patches. Normally it
would list a file or a registry entry related to the patch. I see
patchlink.com related entries for most patches. Anyone have an idea on this
one?

Ways to activate debug log on JavaFX 8 / support for bug reports ?

Hello,
Since, there is to much time until next march, I've downloaded the JDK8 u 87 and started to play with JavaFX 8. Very nice things, but I am going into a lot of obscure bugs
* For example, when closing an application that does only CSS styling I keep getting this exception when closing the window:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.sun.glass.ui.View.notifyRenderingEnd(View.java:352)
     at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.PaintCollector.done(PaintCollector.java:308)
     at com.sun.prism.render.RenderJob.run(RenderJob.java:75)
     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145)
     at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615)
     at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumRenderer$PipelineRunnable.run(QuantumRenderer.java:129)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724)
This happens 15% of the time. The same story ( but different exception ) for a simple application for playing with sliders.
I would open some bugs but 2 things come to my mind:
* are there any ways to activate debug log so that developers see a bit more that just a stack trace?
* I saw on JavaFX 2 jira that you can't attach files to an issue, so basically how can I report stuff that prove things if I can't attach any file?

Error/Warning Messages in Agent Debug Log Files

I have noticed the following error message in the Agent Debug Log Files and was wondering if anybody could shed any light on their meaning or what might be causing them.
Warning 1855:####### ServiceEngine: Service::getPolicyResult():No passwd value in session response.
Warning 1855:####### PolicyAgent: Access Manager Cookie not found.

hi
Looks like the message numbers you are processing in the function module CRM_MESSAGE_COLLECT are only for 'errors'.
Please go to Transaction: CRMC_MSGS
Look at the following Application Areas
CRM_ORDER
CRM_ORDERADM_H
CRM_ORDERADM_I
CRM_ORDER_MISC
CRM_ORDER_OUTPUT
Select one of the above and double click 'Single Messages' towards your left side on the screen. Select the relavant message number from the list and check the 'S' flag. Press 'F1' (help) on this box and you will see the following.
Only error messages are saved in the processing log. If a message definitely should be saved - contrary to this rule - then the indicator needs to be set.
You need to make sure that a message marked like this can be deleted again - by calling up the function module CRM_MESSAGES_DELETE in the appropriate place in the program.
When you do these steps, please note the message 'Do not make any changes (SAP data)'. This is not tested and used from my side. Please see if this impacts other functions. I am not sure. Do necessary R&D before you proceed further. Please explore tables CRMC_MESSAGES_S and CRMC_MESSAGES and see if this helps.
Reward if helps

How to collect debug logs for custom module only in EBS by AppsLog.write?

Hi,
Customer is trying to retrieve logs for their custom module (XXKCZ) and
put it to /log/kcz.log by using AppsLog.write() method. (refer to sample code below)
Customer has set these profile values in the application level and removed the values
in the site level. But the file /log/kcz.log is created but does not have any lines in it.
Is there something wrong to the coding of AppsLog.write?
Application Name "xxkcz"
　FND: Debug Log Enabled "Y"
　FND: Debug Log Module "xxkcz%"
　FND: Debug Log Level "UNEXPECTED"
　FND: Debug Log Filename "/log/kcz.log"
　---- [Sample Code starts] ----
　Package jp.kaikei.oracle.apps.xxkcz.util.server;
　import oracle.apps.fnd.common.AppsContext;
　import oracle.apps.fnd.common.AppsLog;
　import oracle.apps.fnd.common.Log;
　public class CommonLog{
　public void initLog() {
　AppsContext appsCtx = new AppsContext();
　AppsLog appsLog = appsCtx.getAppsLog();
　appShortname = "xxkcz"
　message ="Message started"
　CLASS_NAME = "jp.kaikei.oracle.apps.xxkcz.util.server.CommonLog";
　String moduleName = appShortName + "." + CLASS_NAME + ".initlLog;
　appsLog.write(moduleName, message, Log.UNEXPECTED)
　---- [Sample Code ends] ----
Any advise?
Thanks.

May be some initialization is missing,
I have created my own writetoFile method,
if you want you can try this,
* Method to write the debug messages into a File
public void writeFile(String debugMsg, String userName)
String logDir = (String)this.getOADBTransaction().getProfile("XXPO_OA_PDT_PDT_DEBUG_DIR");
BufferedWriter out;
//DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
Date date = new Date();
// if(logDir ==null)
// logDir = "/ebsgld/ebsgldcomn/temp/";
String fileName = logDir+userName+"-pdt_log.log";
//createDiag(XXPO_APP_SHORT_NAME,"[AM]fileName "+fileName);
try
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName,true));
out.write("\n\n" + debugMsg);
out.close();
} catch (IOException e)
//System.out.println("exception in Writing the log file "+e.toString());
//createDiag(XXPO_APP_SHORT_NAME,"[AM] Exception in Writing the log file "+e.toString());
//Only start and end file
if(debugMsg.indexOf("##########")!=-1)
String impFileName = logDir+userName+"-pdt_imp_log.log";
// System.out.println("File Name is "+fileName);
try
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(impFileName,true));
out.write("\n\n" + debugMsg);
out.close();
} catch (IOException e)
createDiag(XXPO_APP_SHORT_NAME,"[AM] exception in Writing the log imp file "+e.toString());

Is my friends comp wierd, or does JOptionPane do strange stuff?

Hi,
This is hard to ask because I have not seen exactly what is happening, but I have a small program that displays some JOptionPanes, It all looks right on my comp WinXP... but on my friends comp (Win98), he says that the 'Dialogs Things' do strange stuff...
He doesnt know much about computers so I got a silly description bout what happens... he said that the 'dialogs' were "poping up and around tha screen in weird places,... and sometimes they were hard to get to them..."
Anyone know what this could be?...
Thanks,

Go to your freinds place and ask him to show you the strange behaviour, or ask him to explainm a little better. Your description of the problem is too vague.

How To Generate Debug Log Files for ebs jsp?

hi How To Generate Debug Log Files for ebs r12 jsp?
and where i get the log .please help me thanks!

Please check following MOS Document
Oracle Application Server Diagnostic Tools and Log Files in Applications Release 12 (Doc ID 454178.1)

AR FORM 에서 DEBUG LOG 생성하는 방법

제품 : FIN_AR
작성날짜 : 2006-05-24
AR FORM 에서 DEBUG LOG 생성하는 방법
============================
PURPOSE
AR 의 주요 Form 에서 문제가 발생했을 경우 Debug log 를 발생 시켜 확인 할 수 있도록 한다.
Explanation
Debugging을 제공하는 주요 AR Forms:
Transactions workbench (ARXTWMAI)
Receipts workbench (ARXRWMAI)
Collections (ARXCWMAI)
단, ARXCUDCI Form 은 해당 하지 않는다.
Debug Setup 순서
주의)
만약 11.5.9 이상의 경우라면
<AR: Enable Debug Message Output> Profile 이 user level 에서 enable 되어 있어야 한다.
11.5.10 이면서 ARP_STANDARD (ARPLSTDB.pls) Version이 115.36이며 아래와 같이 작업 한다.
To turn on the debugging:
Set the following profiles:
FND: Debug Log Enabled = YES
FND: Debug Log Filename = NULL
FND: Debug Log Level = STATEMENT (most detailed log)
FND: Debug Log Module = % or ar% or even ar.arp_auto_rule%
만약 11.5.10 MAINTENANCE PACK (Patch 3140000) 을 적용한 경우라면
<FND: Debug Log Enabled> 이 <FND: Log Enabled> 로 그리고
<FND: Debug Log Level> 가 <FND: Log Level> 로 대체 될 것이다.
1. 문제가 발생한 Form 에 접속하여 문제 재현을 시작 한다. 문제가 발생하기 직전 까지 진행 한다.
2. menu에서 help/diagnostic/examine 을 Click 한다.
3. Block LOV 에서 PARAMETER 를 선택한다.
4. Field 란에는 AR_DEBU_FLAG 를 직접 입력한다.
5. Value 에는 다음과 같이 입력한다.
FS <path> <file>
FS 와 patch, file 사이에는 반드시 blank 가 있어야 함을 명심한다.
a)
FS
FS creates a file, displaying Forms and Server debug messages.
b)
<path>
This is where the AR Debug Log file will be written to.
To find out where the log file must be saved, type the following in
SQL*Plus:
select value from v$parameter
where upper(name) = 'UTL_FILE_DIR';
c) Decide what to call the debug log file. For example, debug2.dbg
If the file specified already exists, the new debug messages will be
appended to it. In general, it is recommended to define a new debug file for each problem reported.
d)
Full example:
Block: PARAMETER
Field: AR_DEBUG_FLAG
Value: FS /sqlcom/log debug2.dbg
위와 같이 작업 한 후 Error 가 나도록 재현 한다.
생성된 debug log 를 확인 한다.

Is there a debug log file for iTunes "Add to Library" failures?

I have an odd movie file (mp4, h264, AAC) that iTunes will not import. I transcode, tag and import videos all the time but this one fails silently on import. I've tried the drag n drop, import to library and auto-import folder methods. Nada. It plays fine in the standalone quicktime player, so it is somewhat compatible.
Does anyone know if and where iTunes logs these failures? I've been poking around the console app logs but cannot find anything. I'd love to know why it is rejecting it. I suspect it is a compatibility issue.
Thanks
Drew

Thanks for the reply Jim. Yes I did notice this option, it wasn't too attractive to me as it claimed the 2.5gb 720p file would be 5.5Gb after this processing! A gave it a shot anyway, but keep getting an error - "This operation cannot be completed (OSStatus error 38.)". Have to google that one some....
It's not the end of the world if I can't import this one into iTunes. But it did make me a little surprised about the seemingly complete lack of debug logging for the application. With Apple's focus on user experience, the completely silent rejection of this file, with no feedback or error message is not right.
Cheers
Drew

Best practice for application debug logging?

I am building a webcenter portal using Oracle Webcenter 11.1.1.1.5 and deploying on Oracle Weblogic Server 11g. Please suggest what is the best practice to use for application debug logs. Should I use log4j or Apache commons library? Is it possible to manage the logs (enable/ disable/ change severity) of the logs using WLS admin console?

You might want to read the chapter about AM Granularity in the ADF Developer Guide:

How to put debug logs?

I am building a webcenter portal using Oracle Webcenter 11.1.1.1.5 and deploying on Oracle Weblogic Server 11g. Please suggest what is the best practice to use for application debug logs. Should I use log4j or Apache commons library? Is it possible to manage the logs (enable/ disable/ change severity) of the logs using WLS admin console?

In a production (or even test environment) you can use the enterprise manager of weblogic to analyse the error log files. I believe this is done by using Log4j.
For each application you can request the logs based upon severity.
Here's some information about the weblogic logging system: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13739/toc.htm
I can't seem to find the documentation about the enterprise manager... I'll see if i can find the documentation and update the post.
Otherwhise i have written a section about the log files in my book: http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-webcenter-11g-ps3-administration-cookbook/book in the chapter managing webcenter applications. I show how you can analyse and filter messages in the log.

Debug.log is created

When ever we create a form a debug.log is created and there is nothing in the file.
If we delete it then the logo in the dynamic form disappears.
Can anyone say why its formed and what is the use of this.

DNS debug logging to determine if 2008R2 DNS server is still being queried?

We are removing multiple DNS servers. We have removed those servers from DNS reference from all dhcp scopes, and ran script across all windows servers to make sure they are not being used. There still might be Linux/telecom/workstations manually
set that we do not know about, so I was going to use debug logging just to look for queries that are coming and to try and determine where they came from. I have debug logging set to log packets for Incoming, UDP, Queries/Transfers, and Request, but having
trouble figuring out this log. Here is an example of what I am seeing. Does anyone have a reference for this? I am having trouble finding one.
Is this saying that a computernamed POS188 made a query for a host(A) record? or is it saying that a query came in from 128.1.60.221 for a host(A) record named POS188? Just looking for reference to help explain this. The good news is the only
IP address that shows(128.1.60.221) is the IP of the DNS server, but the only thing I could find for reference was this -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776361(WS.10).aspx
9/16/2014 12:05:23 AM 1144 PACKET 000000000624CBD0 UDP Rcv 128.1.60.221    8952   Q [0001   D   NOERROR] A

Thanks,

Hi Dan,
The example you provide means that the DNS server receive a packet sent by 128.1.60.221,and the packet is used to query a host(A) record named POS188.contoso.com.
And the detail information about each field of the message is shows below. It is also showed in the dns.log.
Message logging key (for packets - other items use a subset of these fields):
                Field # Information         Values

How to easily export/download "Debugging & Logging Log Files" data?

In the Debugging & Logging > Log Files screen/page, are there workarounds for easily export/download the data that's listed in that screen? I do not want to download the log. Basically, all I want is the table that shows the File Name, Type Size, and Last Modified information.
Thank you,
Charlie

Not really, but if you copy and paste the table and stick it in ms word or something it will retain its layout, you can then just save it, or just take a screenshot. It all depends on what you planning on using the export for. Why do you need that information specifically, this will depend on the way to do it. If its something you want often and automatically then you can just generate the information yourself using some Coldfusion and the logs directory.

What is a debug.log

what is this and why is on my computer?

click on FINDER
today
yesterday
past week
all of the above
each day has a report sent (multiple times per day)
like this debug.log.110829_063658.sent
interestingly, there is a log that was sent at 10:13pm pacific standard time that reads debug.log.110830_051537.sent
indicating a different time zone?
I was simply looking for a document that I used yesterday so I looked in the FINDER
