Unable to view latest default trace in log viewer

Hello all,
We have NW 7.0 J2EE production server. We have a CI and two application servers.
Our SP level is SP18.
The DB is oracle and the operating system in RHEL 4.
I have a problem in viewing the default trace files in log viewer using the visual administrator.
I am able to view the old default trace but unable to view the latest trace data generated.
I am facing this problem when i try to view the logs of a particular application server.
Able to view the latest default trace properly for CI and the other application server. Problem lies only with a single application server.
I have also check the permissions in OS level for the trace files. Everything looks fine.
Could some one give me a clue on how to solve this issue.
Regards,
Chandru

Hello Joey,
The trace file isnt too big....
We have set the file size as 10 MB.
We have some 15 to 16 default trace files for each of the server process and we have 3 server process in that application server.
The ForceSingleTraceFile parameter is set as YES in visual admin.
So the logs will be displayed in visual admin as a single default trace file.
Hope I had provided the inputs you have asked...
Regards,
Chandru

Workflow Daemon is stuck in E sourcing CLM and documents are not flowing to approvers.which place should i check for this issue related information i have already checked default traces and Logs

Hi Guys,
We have a situation in our landscape where workflow daemon service is stuck and we have to restart the Esourcing system.
Could you please help here where should i check the cause of the issue.
i have already checked the Default traces and Esourcing traces.
Could you help in identifying the cause.

Tarun

Hi Tarun,
Open the Document for e.g. Contract Document, on the Document Tab there is an option for Phase Information open that page this will give you all the information related to the phase and where it is stuck, with which user it is pending etc.
Now since the workflow is stuck, either you can restart the Demon Registration via background Task Status. or else Cancel the Workflow so it can be restarted. by doing the below steps.
1) goto Setup
2) open Workflow Definition Under Workflow.
3) now choose the phase at which your Workflow is stuck.
4) open that phase.
5) under Reports Tab there is option for " Current Workflow Processes"
6) open the Current Workflow Processes
7) search the document which is stuck
8) click on the "X" mark = Cancel the workflow process option
9) it will take you to the workflow cancel wizard screen. give the comment why you need to cancel this and click on Finish
10 ) once the Workflow is canceled the phase will go to the Requester review phase and form here you will have to manully move to the next phase. so the workflow can be restarted. once done refresh it.
11) before doing this take Approval from the customer.
If the above does not work and still there is an issue then please check the Pre- Phase script.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks

Set Weekly View as default in Record Working time

Hi,
Please let me know in ESS (Time Management) how can I set Weekly View as default instead of Daily view under Record Working time in EHP5?
1> If Personalization could only be applied on JAVA Web Dynpro iVews, what can be done in case of WD4A?
2> Can the view changes be done in Content Administration or the changes could only be done in "Component configuration/enhancement" to achieve the requirement? If it could only be done using "Component configuration/enhancement" can you please help me with the same.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
In R3, goto PM - PA - ESS - Service specific settings - Woring time - Record working time - Set up data entry profile - Select the data entry profile which is assigned to the employees in their CVR Parameters(ex.ess sf) - Maintain the PERIOD SETTING as 2 (which is the weekly view).

Remote Standalone Log Viewer

Hi!
My question is about log viewing.
There is a log viewer to view logs on XI system :
<path of J2EE installation>/<SysID>/JC<nr>/j2ee/admin/logviewer-standalone/logviewer.bat
It works fine.
My problem is that I want to view the logs on a remote machine.
How can I do that ? Has anyone a step - by - step solution?
I have already downloaded the standalone_logviewer.zp file at the SAP Service Marketplace, but I don't know how it works. Do I have to execute the batch file logviewer.bat or the remoteserver.bat ? Which configuration do I have to do?
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

Hi,
I had already read the pdf.
Now it's all right, without executing remoteserver.bat.
I have executed the logviewer.bat on my desktop and in File -> Configuration I added a J2EE connection to my XI server with port <P4> (50000 + SystemNr. * 100 +4), and it works.
Thanks everybody for the responses,
Laurence

Unable to see custom Trace messages in Log Viewer which were defined in UDF

Hello Experts, I am not able to see my trace messages in Log Viewer. I have a small user defined fuction which takes a variable and returns its uppercase and while do that it writes few warning level trace messages in the trace file. I've tried changing the levels from Warning to Info but I still don't see anything in my Log Viewer. At this point I am not even sure if I am looking at right place. When I test my mapping in Message Mapping's Test tab it works fine and shows me all my trace messages. But when I do end to end it is not writing anything to the trace file. I've tried to use instructions from following blogs:
1. /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/04/30/xipi-personalized-logging-tracing(logging and tracing)

but I still don't see traces in my Log Viewer. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong here.
Thanks in advance!!

Logging Format like in default trace

Hi all,
When using log-viewer service in visual admin I want my logs to be formatted as it is in default trace (defaultTrace.trc)
The message is separately displayed in its own column whereas location/severity/date etc. is shown in its own column, but not contained in the message itself.
When I use my own location, destination(file) and formatter(trace) I cannot achieve the same. I get date and time in the right columns, but in the message column I get all the stuff that is in the file: date, severity, location. Let's say its not getting filtered.
Any idea what's so special about default trace?
regards
stefan
Edited by: Stefan Bungert on Apr 21, 2008 4:16 PM

Hi,
I think you change the format as you using TraceFormatter class.
According to the pattern you give in the constructor your format will change.
It is that pattern that determines.

Hello,
Is it newly built system? Please compare log and trace levels with other java systems in your landscape.
You can give a try as following..
       1.      Goto NWA and click on Log Configurator service.
       2.      Switch to advanced mode.
       3.      Select the Location tab page.
       4.      Choose the location of default.trc file.
       5.      Save the configuration

I know I can use the default trace.
But I 'm looking for a way to write my application information in a separated file,

Can someone help me with this
Thnaks

Hi epexpert,
thaks for your reply.
I tried it with the Filelog.
The Problem is that it logs to the file (its not problematically) but also to the defaulttrace
and thats not my preferred solution.
Do you have any other ideas?

I am having this same issue as well. I upgraded our BI and BI Portal to SP12. Everything worked fine. Then I started the BI integration as outlined in OSS note 917950 -> Setting up BEx Web - Problem analysis.doc and restarted the J2EE engine and now I have this same error in the default trace and I can't log into the visual admin as the j2ee_admin user. I get "error while connecting".   But I can connect to the visual admin as myself. If I login to the BI portal as my self and click on user administration I get this error "A required service for the identity management user interface is not available. Contact your system administrator"
Here's the error as seen in the default trace file that keeps repeating.

Unable to view latest instance in BO Infoview XIR2

Hi,
I am unable to view latest instance in BO Infoview XIR2. Can any one please let me know general procedure to cross check in Infoview or Consol
Thanks in Aadvance
Regards
Sweety

Hi Sweety,
What happens if you login as the Enterprise Adminstrator account, do you get the option to View Latest Instance?
- What do you mean exactly when you say you cannot view the latest instance?
- Are you missing the option/context menu or is the incorrect report displaying?
I would suggest working with your Enterprise Administrator to ensure you have sufficient rights to View the latest instances. However, if you're not able to select the option check out this SAP Note:

InfoView - Default view latest instance possible?

Hi,
I have an issue with InfoView, and the opening/viewing of Desktop Intelligence reports.
The report I am talking about is scheduled on a daily basis (each night) so users don't have to refresh it every time they open it.
To view it via InfoView, they have 2 options:
a) The most usual and logical is to press the main hyperlink, the one which shows the name of the report. This is always showing you the report with the data from when you did a last refresh of it (report is set to not refresh data on open). Seemingly totally ignoring the scheduled instances!
b) Users can also open via 'View Latest Instance'. This shows the last result(instance) of the last successful schedule of the report.
This is confusing, since I would of course like the users to view the latest version(instance or whatever) of the report in both scenarios a and b.
Is it possible to make the main hyperlink with the name of the report point to the latest instance of the report also?? Or am I wanting too much here???
Thanks for any help!
Frode

Hi Frode,
Yes you can... In the CMC, goto to BusinessObjects Enterprise Applications --> InfoView and the Object Listing property set (1) View the Object or (2) View the latest successful instance of the object.
This is a global setting and affects all users so changing this setting here will make it the default setting for all users. No individual setting is available for a user.

Jacques

"View Latest Instance" as Default in BOE XI 4.0

Dear all,
I am using a BO BI Platform 4.0 to deploy Crystal Reports in my organization. These reports are scheduled daily, users are viewing these reports via the BI Launch Pad.
Now I want to protect my users from the need to click first on the document and then on the "View Latest Instance" as this would most likely be asking to much of them. So - I would like to make the "View Latest Instance" the default behavior when users click on a document.
I read a couple of forums and it seems up to XI3.1 this was possible. However, is seems that the feature is gone with BIP4.0.
Or is there still a method to achive what I want?
Thanks & best reagrds
Wolfgang

HI Wolfgang - not sure it's possible. You'd probably have to leverage an alternate scheduling 'destination', i.e. if for instance you schedule to a users Inbox, then they should see the latest instance in their inbox - no right-clicking required to open that. Possibly impractical if separate instance is created for each user - though I'd hope this wouldn't be the case if the report contents are the same for everyone.
Cheers, Ferdie.
