Workflow 2013 write to log history file

I want to have all workflow 2013 error messages written to the history log file so that I can see what occurred. This works fine when I use the 'log to history' action. Tne problem there are errors located in the 'Workflow Staus page' of the custom list
that occur that are not written to the log history file.
Thus can you tell me how to be able to write the 'workflow status page' warnings, error messages, informational messages to the log history file?

Hi,
I am not quite sure you want to write the 'workflow status page' warnings, error messages, informational messages to the log history file
as the screenshot below.
If you want to write these messages to the log history file, these is no OOB method to achieve it. You could see these messages in workflow status page as the screenshot.
You also could find some information in USL log(path:” \Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ LOGS”) with keyword “3a834a85-b471-93da-d209-9bbddf8d044a”(it is requestorid in the screenshot).

I have deleted the download log (history file) by mistake. Are there any method torestore the lost log file?

I have deleted the history file, a log in the Download Manager window by mistake, hitting the delete button which was hiding from other windows. I want to restore the download history file, if possible. Are there any way to recover the lost history log? Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you.

You should be able to:
Backup the device
Transfer any purchases from the device that were not already downloaded into your new library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Log History 2013 see all stages of workflow in one place.

In sharepoint 2013, I have setup a workflow using sharepoint designer 2013 to create 5 steps stages in a workflow. In each stage, I have used a log to history action to keep track of what stages the workflow got to.
I know how to find the log history for all events on the sharepoint 2013 server. However, I would like to be able to see a display for the 5 stages of the workflow in one place. Thus can you tell me how to accomplish my request?

When you say you know how to find the "log history for all events" I assume you are talking about the ULS logs. That's not where the workflow will log the history that you are looking for. Instead SharePoint logs history to a hidden
history list in the site where the workflow is kicked off. By default it is called "Workflow history" and you can view it by manually navigating to the following URL http://[site
URL]/lists/Workflow%20History.

[SOLVED] Writting to log file on Oracle AS in ADF BC

Hi!
I'm trying to write some information to any of the log files on Oracle Application Server but can't seem to get it working.
I have a http servlet class in which I try to log records like this:
Logger loLogger = Logger.getAnonymousLogger();
loLogger.info("HttpServlet: doGet start!");This code displays
1.4.2008 9:44:02 package.HttpServlet doGet
INFO: HttpServlet: doGet start!
in JDeveloper output window, but after deployment to AS it is not written to any of the files. I do not use a custom logger or log files in my application so my question is: how can I write information to any of the log files on AS (for example logs in <ORACLE_HOME>\opmn\logs folder or in log.xml file in oc4j folder of j2ee home log)?
I've been reading about j2ee logging but as I said, can't get it to work. Are there any ADF classes to do this?
Thanks,
regards!

Hi!
Thank you both for your effort. Both ways work now, I messed something up at the beginning.
Logger loLogger = Logger.getAnonymousLogger();
loLogger.info("method start!");writes to 'default_group~home~default_group~1.log' file in opmn/logs directory, while
ADFLogger loADFLogger = ADFLogger.createADFLogger("oracle");
loADFLogger.log(ADFLogger.NOTIFICATION, "method start!");writes to 'log.xml' in j2ee\home\log\home_default_group_1\oc4j directory.
Now I just have to decide which is better for me ;).

Sharepoint 2013 - WSS content LOG file very very big

Hi there.
Sharepoint 2013 with latest updates.
WSS CONTENT database size is cca 110GB, LOG FILE is 90GB.
Even if we did FULL backup of databes that does not decrease LOG file size.
Any hints how to lower the size of LOG data file?
With best regards
bostjanc

Hi Bostjan,
I wonder whether the issue can be resolved by shrinking log file.
Shrinking data files recovers space by moving pages of data from the end of the file to unoccupied space closer to the front of the file. When enough free space is created at the end of the file, data pages at end of the file can deallocated and returned
to the file system.
Here is the reference for Shrink a File in SQL 2012 for your convenience:

Workflow 2013 is not removed from library after retract

Hello.
I created a test workflow 2013 in VS 2013, while adding this workflow to the project I selected document library for it and also selected pre-created tasks and history lists.
I deployed the worklow from VS project menu, then started it manually in the library, worflow completed successfully.
After it I called "Retract" from VS project menu, it completed without errors, but teh workflow stayed in library. Then I deployed it again, went to the library workflow settings, removed the workflow, retracted it again using VS project menu.
But, now when I go to library - workflow setings - add workflow, I still can see there my workflow option (though the solution is retracted and feature is removed from site collection).
What should I do to remove it?

OK, here are the log entries for solution deploy and retract:

Config event generator to log when file didn't arrive at certain time?

hi everyone
is it possible to configure a file event generator to write a log if certain files did not arrive at pre-defined time? or any event generator to log if certain events did not happen at specified time? thanks in advance.
Message was edited by chendongtom at Sep 13, 2004 10:23 AM

Hi,
I don't think, it is possible.
What you can do is:
Don't use file EG, but a timer EG, which kicks off a workflow, using a file control to look for/read in/.. the file and do some reporting afterwards.
You do not have to kick-off the workflow at the exact time, but also can do it 2 hours (for example) before and use a timer inside the workflow for watching a time period for the arrival of the file.
Keep in mind that WLI timers are not 100% exact because they are JMS based, so it is guranteed not to be started before, but can start a little bit later than start-time.
If you are using already a scheduling system like Control-
M, you can also leverage this to start the workflow.

Large log history used parameter

Hi,
Could a huge value of the controlfile

Thanks

Not necessarily.
However, look at the wait events for controlfiles ('control file parallel write',

TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. how did this happen, how do i fix this?

the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance? I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop. any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
The solution that worked for me:
Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
Click the security tab
Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
Click apply
Open iTunes
This worked for me.

Data Acquisition - using local variables to write data to a file

Hello,
I am running a Data Acquisition vi (currently in LabVIEW 7.1 but soon to be updated to 8.2) that collects ~100 parameters of data from several sources contained in a while loop. The current configuration (which I did not write) uses very few subVIs and writes to ~100 local variables to store each parameter. It then reads all the local variables and builds an array of all the strings, converts then to a spreadsheet string, then uses the write characters to file function to append to a datafile. I am trying to clean things up and have came up with subVIs to collect the data from the following sources:
8 serial port sources collecting btwn 8 and 20 parameters each
~15 thermocouple readings
~10 analog inputs
~20 parameters read off an ARINC 429 bus.
I have come up with a subVI to read each of the sources and have placed the subVIs in the while loop. Each subVI outputs the data that it collects in array or cluster form. I was wondering how best to write each parameter to a CSV file at between 1 and 10 Hz. Should I write each subVI output to a LV and then read them off as was done before (the difference being that I have reduced the # of LVs to ~10 vs >100?
I should add that precise timing is not that important, so if all the subVIs are not collecting simultaneously (which I understand that they won't be), it does not really matter.
Thanks.

Hi jilla,
jilla wrote:
What I think that you are saying is to turn the outputs of the 4 subVIs into inputs of a 5th subVI that writes to the data file. Correct?
Yes. It may sound like a fine-point, but I beileve it's better to create a VI specifically for formatting data - in your example, 4 arrays IN, a single string OUT. Then write the string to file as a seperate operation. GUI-displayed data can go through a similar transformation, the four arrays wired to a subVI which builds output-structures specifically for display. It's a beginner's mistake to put lots of individual controls and indicators on the screen when groups of them are naturally related (in an object-oriented sense.) Use clusters to group related controls - this will keep the diagram much cleaner.
One more question: at what point (either # of data points or frequency of data collection) does it become necessary to use queues? Thanks.
Well, there's not really a clearly definable "point". I'd say if your update-rate climbs above 100Hz, or you witness poor program or system performance, then it's time. The scenario you've described is a fairly simple acquire/display&log loop - and simple is good. Then-again people can't see/react-to updates faster than about 10Hz - so it doesn't make sense to sacrifice performance - if performance becomes an issue.
Re: queues: Queues are sometimes used to buffer data that's "produced" in one place and "consumed" in another.
Here, if/when logging data, you're logging with every DAQ. I wouldn't recommend using a queue to transport data from a "DAQ loop" to a "Logging-loop" - those functions can be in the same loop. Should/could a queue be used to get data from a "DAQ loop" to update the GUI at a lower frequency? Sure, but a Notifier might be a better choice. Further, in the (simple?) program you've described, you might use a case structure (True/False) to only update FP indicators every "X" iterations - a simple solution that doesn't require Queues or Notifiers.
Cheers!

I've just opened iTunes on my Mac with an error "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". I created a shirred library so that all users on my Mac can access the same library. Help?

I have just opened ITunes on my Mac and the following error occurred "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". When I setup my Mac I created a shared user area to contain my ITunes library so that I could share it with another user logged onto my Mac. However the error above gives me the impression that the library file is locked... I've checked and it does not seem to be locked under the "get info" fie information. Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?

You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

The iTunes Library.itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.

I just had to reset my entire laptop to factory settings, therefore my original iTunes was erased, leaving my iPhone 4 no accessibility for new music. I had to download CopyTrans so that I could transfer all things on my iPhone 4 onto my new iTunes. It said it transfered properly, but when I try and open iTunes,"The iTunes Library.itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." pops up. Please help.

Administrators unable to write to a text file created by another Administrator on Windows Server 2008.

Why are Administrators unable to write to a text file created by another Administrator on Windows Server 2008?
--- The Administrators already have full control so how do I fix this? ---
Example: On a Windows Server 2008 (SP1): user A (who belongs to the Administrators group) logs in and creates a directory C:\foo and creates a file readme.txt in the foo directory. User B (also a member of the Administrators group) logs in and opens C:\foo\readme.txt in notepad. User B types something and tries to save the file. User B cannot save the file…an option to save as some other file name is presented. The security permissions of C:\foo\readme.txt show that Administrators have full control.
Work around 1: Explicitly add user B to have full control over the foo directory. The problem is that all the all other Administrators still need to be added (current and future).
Work around 2: Change the Users security permission to be full control on the foo directory. (this seems dangerous!)
It is interesting to not that this same procedure is not a problem in Windows Vista. (Any insight about the difference?)
Sincerely,
Ian

so there is no way to change this without literally shutting down the UAC?
I have files that I need to modify all the time, and it is very annoying to have to save as to my desktop modify and then copy and paste the file again.
I would also rather not give myself permissions to the entire C:\ Drive even specified Folders or documents, etc......
You can change these settings without bringing down the UAC

1.    Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
2.    Expand Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.

3.    Double-click “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” on the right pane.
a.    Choose “Elevate without prompting” and click OK.
b.    Double-Click “User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account”, Click Enable, Apply and then OK
c.     Double-Click “User Account Control: Run all users, including administrators, as standard users”,Click Enable, Apply and then OK
Then reboot the Server. You should now have the ability to modify any document, etc....

Question on logging to file

I am doing java logging to file using the logger class. In order to write logs to the file, a file handler was created using the 'append' mode.
However, when the
log entries are written to the log file, they are all entered on a single line.
How do I make each new log entry start on a new line?
boolean append = true;
FileHandler filehandler = new FileHandler(errorFile,append);
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Logging");
logger.addHandler(filehandler);
logger.log(Level.INFO,"Unable to zip file:");

1)Do you view the file in Microsoft Windows?
If you are using MS Windows, please open the log file with wordpad.
If you still find all your result are on a single line in wordpad.
2)You can try this
String nl = System.getProperty ( "line.separator" );
logger.log(Level.INFO,"Unable to zip file:"+nl);
