Sysdiagnose_2013.09.29_20-04-06-EDT.tar.gz

When I logged into my computer this monring I found finder open and the file above. It was located at macintosh HD>privateder>var>tmp. The private folder is grayed out and if I open a new finder window the private folder is not visible. Is this a file that should be there and do I need to be concerned about it?

Hello, not on 10.8 to be able to verify right now, but it looks kosher...

Sysdiagnose_2013.03.12_06-47-47-PDT.tar.gz?

what is this sysdiagnose_2013.03.12_06-47-47-PDT.tar.gz with an associated file labled Launchd with a red negative icon at the bottom? This just popped up on my MacBook Pro while I am at a hostel full of internationals.... worried it may be a hack..

This just started happening on my iMac, and I know I didn't run any diagnostic programs. Why would it just randomly happen?

Upgraded to Mavericks - System errors popping up in /private/var/tmp ... Help!!

Hi there,
Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, and installed my standard software, I'm getting some odd behaviour.
Every so often (no discernable pattern so far) my Finder pops up with a new window in /private/var/tmp. There is a huge system stacktrace printed out in a file with the following format: "
sysdiagnose_2013.10.30_19-53-16-MDT_9956.tar.gz
There are a ton of files in there, so I have no idea how to figure out what is crashing and causing it. I get no "system crash message" to go along with it.

Any help you could provide would be appreciated!

When pressing Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift-Period, 'sysdiagnose' is triggered. It takes a few minutes to complete. When ready, the output will automatically be revealed in a Finder window.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Possible to migrate installation w/ SLD to new system using 'tar'/'untar'?

I have a CRM installation with TREX, that I need to move from one unix system to another (same patch level). As SLD is setup, can I 'tar' the entire installation on the old system, 'untar' the bundle on the new system, and bring the SAP setup back into function mode? It should be doable if SLD is not setup. But since there is SLD bundled in the setup, I am not sure if 'tar' is the way to port the installation. I can give the new system the same hostname, but ip address would be different. Any pointer is highly appreciated! Many Thanks!

Hi,
You can perform asystem copy, even SLD can be set up later accroding to your need.
Regards,
Vamshi.

How do I view thej2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar

I downloaded the file, I unzipped it and I have this large folder that has 11,521 files in it--I cant view or copy any file except by double clicking on it and then it opens the a new developer window with the source for this file in its code window--I cant open a file from any of the java developers I have on my machine--Oracle 9i is what I want to load it into, but I can use borland's jbuilder if necessary
I'm sure it's just that I don't understand what a .tar file is and how it should be used, so any help is appreciated
thanks,
Jeff

The tar file are meant for Linux, Unix OS. "tar" stands for Tape ARchive. These are compressed files like zip files. In short :
tar - The GNU version of the tar archiving utility
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of tar, an
archiving program designed to store and extract files from
an archive file known as a tarfile. A tarfile may be made
on a tape drive, however, it is also common to write a
tarfile to a normal file. The first argument to tar must
be one of the options: Acdrtux, followed by any optional
functions. The final arguments to tar are the names of
the files or directories which should be archived. The use
of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories
below should be included in the archive.
To view the contents of the tar file, give the following command:
tar tvf j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar
To extract the contents of the tar file, give the following command:
tar xvf j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar
i hope this information will help you.

Hi Joe,
thanks for your feedback.
These files to be tarred aren't there directly after backup stops with error.
It seems that some process stores data about reports in that file and when trying to
pack these reports via tar they are delete by any cleanup method.
Does this help.
P.S. Backup usually takes about more than 1hour

Error ,opening a tar file created by TarOutputStream

Iam trying to create a tar file using TarOutputStream with the code below :
try {
TarOutputStream tout = new TarOutputStream(out);
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
if (files.getPath() == null) {
continue;
File f = new File(wsdir, files[i].getPath());
if (!f.exists()) {
continue;
TarEntry te = new TarEntry(files[i].getPath());
size += f.length();
te.setSize(size);
tout.putNextEntry(te);
try {
     FileInputStream in = null;
     try {
          in = new FileInputStream(f);
          byte buf[] = new byte[1024];
          int n;
          while ((n = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
          tout.write(buf, 0, n);
     } finally {
          if (in != null) {
          in.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
tout.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
The above code succcessfully creates the tar file but while opening the tar file Iam getting the error - Error reading header after processing 1 enries

I created a zip file by providing the relative paths
of the files using the java.util.zip package.I
downloaded it through a web application.It was
downloaded successfully and the zip file is showing
100 kb.When i tried opening zip file from windowsXP
SP2 and i am not able to view or extract the
contents.It says 'Windows has blocked access to these
files to help protect your computer'. Go and complain to Microsoft. It's a Windows XP SP2 security feature. Read the manual or help about how to deal with it. It's not a Java problem.

[solved] Can no longer untar AUR packages with tar xvf /directory/

For about a year now I've used this line of code from my .bash_aliases file to untar files from their source directory to the one I am currently CDed in at that moment:
alias tarx='tar xvf' # extracts files from a tarball using tar [e]x[tract] v[erbose] f[orced]
This alias failed to work a few weeks ago for some unknown reason and now spits out this error:
tarx /media/aur/srcpackages/atom-editor.tar.gz ./
tar: .: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Why on earth would this suddenly stop working. I haven't changed my .bashrc file apart from some small comments but here it is in case I'm totally out of it:

I seem to have a larger problem on my desktop machine. When I try to untar stuff on that one it creates a .cache directory for some weird reason and populates it with, I think, cached files from my home directory. It ends up having firefox, mc and other cached files in the new directory and then tar just errors out with:
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Very odd behaviour and I'm assuming some config file somewhere is responsible for this behaviour. But where else can I look apart from .bashrc?
@ids1024, I'll do what you've what you suggested on my netbook later today and record the information to post afterward.
[edit] Here are the contents of that .cache directory, if it helps:
dconf event-sound-cache.tdb.silver_yunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu event-sound-cache.tdb.tengen.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu fontconfig mc dmenu_run
event-sound-cache.tdb.silveryunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu event-sound-cache.tdb.white_yunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu gstreamer-1.0 mozilla

Backup many tar files in the same tape

hi all
i have many small geoframe projects of size,,around 3,,,5 GB but the lower tape contain 24 GB availble space..
===> I WOULD BACKUP ALL THE SMALL PROJECTS UNDER THE SAME TAPE...
for example i have three project (proj1,proj2,proj3)
the problem is when i write these line for backuo these projects together then the tape is rewind even i use 0n option!!!!! :
$ mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
$tar cvf /dev/rmt/0n proj1
$mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
$mt /dev/rmt/0n fsf 1
$tar /dev/rmt/0n proj2
$mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
$mt /dev/rmt/0n fsf 2
$tar /dev/rmt/0n proj3
===> logically, i should find the 3 project inside the tape (proj1,proj2 and proj3),,,but i always find the latest single project when i use the tar command for list the content of the tape:
$tar tvf /dev/rmt/0n
proj3
if someone know what's wrong whith this operation please don't hesitate to give me the solution
thanks in advance

Before running the tar, run 'mt -f <device> status' You should see that for later runs, your tape is not on file 0/block 0
Also, you're doing it the complex way. Don't rewind/forward between each one. Just always use the no-rewind device and leave the tape in place.
mt -f <tape> rewind
tar cf <tape> proj1
mt -f <tape> status # verify not at beginning of tape
tar cf <tape> proj2
[etc]
If you use the rewind device, then when you run 'status', you'll see the tape is at the beginning.
Try again, but this time show the status just before running the final tar to tape, and show the status just before gathering the contents of the tape.

Data transfer of BP with Vendor details using the EDT tool - BP_XDT - KCLJ

Hi All,
I'm trying to use the EDT tool with transfer type 15 to upload a BP into R3 with Vendor details. I've successfully created the BP and Vendor, however I was looking to extend the migration to include purchase org data, unfortunately I couldnu2019t see any of the LFM1 type fields on the BUS_DI structure.
Has anyone used this tool to upload this kind of data? If so how did you do it?
Also I've seen a OSS note 510095 which talks about how to extend the structures used by the tool, however this always seems to cause a short dump. Has anyone applied the instructions and had a successful outcome? Once again if you've done this could you please share your experience?
Kind Regards,
Hiten Mistry.

Hi
I am having the same problem. how did you eventually resolve this?

Recovery from tar file

Hi,We ate creating a tar file every nigth with all the essbase apps, all directories etc. Then we are ftping the tar file from production failover machine. Then I am doing tar -xvf file name.All driectories are getting created etc. When I goto app manager I am not seeing the apps.Please Advise.Thanks,Minash...

Have you created the apps/databases in Essbase yet? In addition to copying the files over, you still need to create the apps/databases.

How do I start Firefox 4 from KMenu when I downloaded and installed Firefox4.0.tar.bz2 (only launches from terminal), and 'apt-get' installs Firefox 3.6.15 even though I tried to "--purge" it from Linux?

I downloaded and installed Firefox 4 RC using tar.bz2 so that I could still use Firefox 3.6.15 as per normal, having to start Firefox 4 using the terminal which worked great (except for many videos on different websites). When Firefox 4 was released, I suppose I was in a hurry to get it to work normal from my menu, but it kept saying that 3.6.15 was the latest version (I'll be quite embarrassed if it wasn't available for Linux users - I do love Firefox!). I did something silly, like purge Firefox from my operating system (Kubuntu 10.10) and when I reinstalled it was still 3.6.15 (it wasn't really downloading, but unpacking). Am I in too much of a hurry or is there a fix-it? I can use Firefox 4, but only through the terminal and I suspect it is slower than it should be. I would like only one version now.

First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion. To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4. What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content. Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems. You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults. A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install. If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

What is a .tar backup file and can I delete it?

I'm cleaning up files on my iMac and noticed a file in my Documents folder (where I keep applications installation files) that is called "backup-fri-feb-08-15_42_35-2013.tar". This file is over 7 gb so I would like to remove it but I can't find anywhere what it is. I found a wiki page that explains that .tar files are old Unix format but what do I need it for and what program created it?

I use an external drive but I use Carbon Copy Cloner instead of Time Machine and I have TM turned off. I'm wondering if it is a backup file from a program I don't even use any longer. I also use Parallels for 2 Windows programs and I'm finding that some of the Windows programs create backups of stuff I don't need or use. Sounds like it would be safe to delete it.
Thanks so much.

Any info about EDT (External Data transfer)

Hi,
I am working in insurance module of SAP. There is a business object called Business Partner which we need to migrate from legacy to R/3.
Now for migration of Business partner generally LSMW is not used. People here use EDT (External data transfer).
Does some one know about EDT as data transfer tools ?
Regards,
