Very weird issue with server logging when using log4j.properties file

I'm using log4j logging. In log4j.properties the root logger is set up to use the ServerLoggingAppender class so that all our application logs go to the main server logfile. In addition, there are several appenders defined for specific components, with output going to specific per-component log files. Everything is going fine until I launch the server console. At this point all of those per-component log files get wiped out (zero length) and some non-ASCII lines are written to at least one of these files, after which the logs appear to be fine. The main server log file does not appear to be affected (because the root logger is set to "warn" level, while component-specific loggers are set to trace, the contents in these files is different; however I tried disabling all the other appenders and turning the root logger up to trace, and that still did not re-create the problem in the main server log file.
And here's the really weird part -- if I use the same configuration, but in a log4j.xml file, the problem does not happen.

Figured it out.
We were passing in the configuration for log4j as -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/<properties file> and this was added to the command line for both the managed and admin servers. Problem is that the console app starts its own instance of log4j, and when it reads the configuration for the appenders it initializes or rolls over the files. At some point we have two JVMs accessing the same files, so some corruption is bound to happen.
I'm not clear why the .xml file made a difference, but earlier we had been passing the log4j configuration as a jar file placed in the domain/lib folder, so perhaps the designer reverted to that (placed the log4j.xml file in a jar in lib, and not simply changed the -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/ option.

Issue with instant ringback when using sip trunk to SP

Hi all,
We use CUCM 8.0.2.
We have a SIP trunk to a SP connected via one of our Cisco 2911 routers configured as a CUBE.

We also have several ISDN lines that run out via various Cisco routers configured as H323 gateways.
We use 7945 and CIPC for our phones.
We're having an issue with calls going via the SIP trunk where we hear ringing instantly after dialling - but before the actual device at the other end starts ringing (considerable difference).
Using the SIP trunk: If I make a call to my mobile phone - I hear ringing instantly - about 3 rings before my mobile phone actually starts ringing - undesireable.
Using H323 gateway: If I make a call to my mobile phone - I hear silence for a bit - then ringing when the mobile starts ringing - desired.
Using SIP trunk: If I make a call to a landline that is ready - it rings instantly for at least 1 ring - before the actual phone I'm calling starts ringing - undesireable.
Using H323 gateway: There is a momentary pause before hearing ringing on my phone and the phone I dialled - desired.
Using SIP trunk: If I make a call to a landline that is off-hook (with no call-waiting/etc.) - it rings once and then returns the busy signal (the worst issue) - undesireable.
Using H323 gateway: There is a momentary pause before hearing busy signal - desired.
Phone to phone internally (same network): Operates as expected (instantly rings locally and on the phone I'm calling). Between phones that utilise the SIP trunk and phones that utilise the H323 gateways within the same network - communication is instant and as expected.
Any ideas why this happens and how to stop it?
I want it to not ring until the situation is known and that it can provide the appropriate feedback (ringing/busy/etc.).

Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I ended up resolving this issue as follows:
In CUCM, under Device > Device Settings > SIP Profile.
I modifed the profile relevant to my SIP trunk, under the "Trunk Specific Configuration", I set "SIP Rel1XX Options" from "Disabled" to "Send PRACK if 1xx Contains SDP".
Now, I get the expected delay before hearing ringback.
Solved!

Issues with sending mail when using 2 email accounts - possible bug?

Hi all,
Having issues with trying to send email from the 3g iPhone. I have 2 IMAP acounts set up on the phone, one
which works fine but when I try to create mail from the primary account as soon as I hit send it exits the mail program and goes back to the home screen.
Both IMAP accounts have identical settings apart from the username and email address. On the primary account there is no sent messages folder on the iPhone whilst there is on the account that works. I've had a look in the advanced settings and it is programmed to store sent messages in the local sent folder which doesn't exist. I've tried selecting it to store in a IMAP folder as I thought maybe it was crashing as the local folder wasn't there but it has the same result.
Have deleted the account and entered the settings back in again to try to coax it to create the local sent folder but cake up with the same problem.
Suggestions are welcome.

You have their SMTP servers mixed up, go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), click on the server then choose Edit SMTP Servers and select the correct one for each account. Then check the Use Only This Server box

Some very weird issue with Motion tween

Hello, guys! I confronted some kind of weird problem. I uploaded it in fla, https://www.dropbox.com/s/u9bkjiokk51m1o3/landscape_START.fla. Soo, about the problem, flowers in layers 8,9,10 act wrong, when im trying to apply motion tween, they move from their current position right to the hell another one, and i can't understand why. Can somebody explain me what the matter? Because the rest of objects in another layers make it right, when i use motion tween. Oh, and btw, when you make zoom like 50% and less, u can see the workplace consist of gray square in dark gray square, again, wtf? When i make sizes in properties panel larger, it just goes crazy.

Emm, i meant that you should make motion tween by yourself to see that problem with flowers on layers 8,9,10. You just selecting any frame you want, then applying motion tween on flower on layer 8,9 or 10 and then puff, its like screwed up. Well, i tried to copy and replace this flower movie clips, but its always the same. For example, the rest of objects, when you apply motion tween on em, dont changing their location...

I have made a little research and it seems that your problem is connected with way RPAD function works.
Actually it counts 'display units' instead of 'real' characters count. And in japanesse one 'real' character may be formed from few display units.
Oracle gives some info about it in its official documentation:

How do I resolve issues with missing layers when opening a Tiff file from Photoshop CS5.1?

I am downloading Tiff images from a partners website. After extracting the file and opening from Photoshop CS5.1 it's only displaying one of the original image layers. For example and image with two guys shaking hands in an office is only opening the clipped two guys and not showing the backgroud. The vendor says the files open fine on their end which leads me to believe its a download or photoshop issue. Any recommendations?

Thanks Curt... I don't think my explanation was clear. I'm downloading an image from an external webiste. The image downloads in a ZIP archive. After extracting from the Zip file, I go into photoshop and do file open. Only part of the image appears. It looks as if it's the top layer of a photoshop image but since I didn't build the image, I'm not certain it was built with multiple layers. Any ideas?

Strange issue with rights of account, used by SSIS (Foreach Loop Container does not return file names without Admin rights on server)

Hello everyone.
Faced very strange issue with account, which is used to run SSIS package.
The specific package uses Foreach Loop Container to retrieve file names within the specified folder, and put them into Import file task.
The package is set up to run under specific service account. This service account is given all permissions (Full control) to the folder where source files reside.
So the issue is: SSIS package fails to execute this task (Foreach Loop Container and then Import), and shows that no files are found in the directory (although files ARE there).
Once we're adding the service account into local Administrators group on the SQL Server, it works! Removing - does not work again. We cannot leave the service account as SQL server's admin as it's prohibited by our IT policies, and is just a bad practice.
Any ideas, please?

Weird Issue With Windows Live Mail

Cost involved in changing the code using log4j.properties to log4j.xml

i have finished my application, and it was done in such a way that logging is done using log4j but it was using log4j.properties file.
now i need to change it to log4j.xml. i need to do this at the earliest. so i need to know the cost involved in it?. do i need to change a lot on my app to read the log4j.xml?. In my app there is a function named getProperties, which actually reads the log4j.properties file.
this is the code of that function
public static Properties getProperties(String filename,String path) throws myException
//InputStream is = null;
FileInputStream is=null;
        Properties props = new Properties();
        //ClassLoader classLoader = ResourceUtil.class.getClassLoader();
        //is = classLoader.getResourceAsStream(filename);
        File catalinaHome = new File(System.getProperty("catalina.home"));
        try {
is=new
FileInputStream(catalinaHome.getCanonicalFile()+path + filename);
} catch (IOException e) {
        if(is == null)
            String message = "Cannot locate property file " + filename + " in the classpath";
            log.error(message);
        throw new myException(message);
        try
            props.load(is);
        catch (IOException e)
            String message = "Error reading property file " + filename;
            log.error(message);
        throw new myException(message, e);
        finally
            try
                is.close();
            catch(Throwable t)
                t.printStackTrace();
        if(props.isEmpty())
            String message = "No properties are defined in " + filename;
            log.error(message);
        throw new myException(message);
        return props;
}and my initialize function is
public static void initialize()
Properties properties=null;
try {
String path="/properties/";
properties=ResourceUtil.getProperties("log4j.properties",path);
} catch (myException e2) {
e2.printStackTrace();
PropertyConfigurator.configure(properties);

1. Restructure log4j.properties into log4j.xml.
thats done
2. Move log4j.xml into a directory that's in the
classpath.
actually i donot understand what does it mean to move in a directory thats in classpath means. i have to use logging in my webapplication running in tomcat. and my log4j.xml has to reside in catalina.home/properties/. My log4j.properties have been residing here and it had worked well woth the previous function. Now what i did is placed the log4j.xml under properties folder. Now tell me what modifications should i make in the above code.
3. Remove any code that explicitly configures log4j
(i.e. the initialize() method) because log4j will
configure itself from any properties file it finds in
the classpath, automatically, the first time it is
called.I prefer not remvoing this function as this function is being called in many of my classes... and we don't have time to edit all...
please help... and excuse me if i asked some blunders.!!!

Hi BC, I have an issue with BC. When the shopping cart is used it takes stock out of inventory and h

Hi BC,
I have an issue with BC. When the shopping cart is used it takes stock out of inventory and holds it, regardless of whether or not a customer proceeds to purchase. OK.
To make matters worse, the stock is only cleared from the shopping cart when the customer closes the browser - not when they close the shopping window.
Now lets say a customer doesn't close their browser for a month - it happens! .. when their stock is finally returned it may throw out our stock levels that have in the meanwhile been adjusted. So their stock will be added on top of an accurate stock take, putting stock in that isnt really available.
This is causing us mayhem.
We have not yet seen if stock is actually returned at all. In the test we did today where we filled a shopping cart then closed the browser without making a purchase, the stock was not returned immediately. So we dont even know when it will be returned - thats IF a customer actually closes their browser. Any solutions out there?
Jo

Hi there,
The way stock is managed in this situation is desirable for many in that case otherwise shopping on a site and adding to cart would not be viable or use friendly.
What you mention about not closing a browser though is a case that is not true. IF you go into the shop settings in the admin you can see the cart restore timer which is by default 24 hours but you can change this to as low as 1 hour if you wish.

Since Nov 11 we have very big issues with our emails received via exchange server. Part of them are empty

Since Nov 11 all Iphone and Ipad of our company have very big issues with email synchronization. We all synchronized with Exchange server.
In the past nobaody had issue.
Some of our users have IOS 6 and others IOS 5
Messages arrived empty and it is impossible to download them.
Nobody is able to answer ????
I have the same issue with my personnal Ipad synchronized with exchange also.

This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

Issues with Server.app

hello together,
I have some issues with Server.app.
I connect to a server in our local network.
In the Users tab I see only local users of the server, not the network accounts
When I choose "Manage Network Accounts" from the "Manage" Menu, it tells me to configure the server as a network directory, but it is already configured as such.
When I hit "next" and enter account information for the directory admin it tells me that this server is already configured to manage network accounts.
How can I view and mange the network accounts again?
Thanks in advance
macmartin

Just fyi, I was not able to resolve this on my migrated server. Every time when I imported the OD backup from 10.5.8 Server.app couldn't load the user or group list and issues an error message with "error 5000" or something. Check if you have that in your logs, too. If so, Server.app is no longer able to authenticate against the OD. There are several threads regarding this 5000-error, none of them worked for me. Usually this happens when the hostname, IP or something in the OD setup changes and the agreed keys no longer work for authentication. As mentioned, I never managed to get that to work again and had to use a fresh OD and create the users from a list (without pwd). Not very charming.
