WSS_logging.mdf (how to decrease logging even more?)

Hi guys. We have Sharepoint 2013 installed in our environment.
Disk where database WSS_CONTENT and WSS_LOGING resist is running out of space.
We have checked current situation and the size of this databases are:
WSS_CONTENT = 120 GB
WSS_LOGGING = 65 GB
Using this "tutorial":
http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=400
We have reduced retention on all objects from 14 to 7 days. After that we have ran "*usage" timer Jobs, and shrunk the database on our SQL server but we have managed to get only 4.5 GB on WSS_LOGGING database.
Now the current database size for WSS_LOGGING is around 59,5 GB.
Any other suggestion how to decrease the size of this database?
As far as I can understand this database is mainly used for storage for collecting health reports, right? So we could put it on 0GB every once a while, or not?
With best regards,
bostjanc

Get-SpUsageDefinition throws me correct retention results.
Timer Jobs status shows that task were ran sucessfully:
We have even put that retention now from 7 to 3, but in the shrink on SQL menu, we can not decrease anymore:

  • How do I log into more than one email account and view at the same time?

    In the past, I could log in to hotmail.com and open and view more than one email account in firefox. I must have closed something, so now I can't do that?
    HELP???

    Hi Shasanka,
    ofcourse it's possible to control more than one instrument at a time.
    You should use the VISA routines to access all your devices. Every device get it's 'address' as 'VISA resource name'. This resource name contains information on the used bussystem and the (internal) device address (i.e. GPIB devices have an address number).
    So I suggest to read the manual and to look at the examples that come with LabView!
    And (from your question) it seems you should take the 3 or 6 hour seminar as well! (Look at www.ni.com -> academics.)

  • Application errors in cf log even though website stopped in IIS

    Hi,
    About two weeks ago, Coldfusion 8.01 starting crashing on my windows 2003 server. It freezes up about 3 times a day, and takes all other non-cf sites in iis down with it. Once I restart the coldfusion application server, they all come back up.
    I have no idea what is causing this, since the server, exception and application logs don't show any consistent errors at times of crash. The ONE thing I can find that is strange and repetitive is the fact that there is a website throwing tons of file not found errors all throughout every day in the application log. I went into IIS and stopped the website that was getting all of the errors, and the application.log errors for that site continue!
    I can't figure out how this could be happening! Any ideas? Even if someone were trying to access the site that is stopped in IIS, those errors shouldnt ever make it to the coldfusion server.
    Thanks!
    Davey
    P.S. If anyone has any idea what could be causing the lock-ups, any help is appreciated. I have installed the current hot fixes, and no help...

    Davey, you've really raised 3 issues. Let me offer some help with them:
    1a) as for your trying to find the causes of lockups, I'll assert you're looking in the wrong logs (the "server, exception and application logs" that you mention). Instead, check out the more important \runtime\logs (or \logs\, if on Multiserver.) The -out log there will often have far more valuable information on why a server is crashing, and it's vital that you not just look "just prior to the crash", but instead find the first error that seems to start occurring before things go south. (Sometimes, once one problem happens, others follow and they can mask the real root problem.)
    In many cases, the problem of CF crashing can come down to a memory error, but it may not be what you think. I talk about that (as well as more on the points above) in a blog entry: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/11/3/when_memory_problems_arent_what_th ey_seem_part_1
    1b) Also, it can be vital to know what, if any (and how many) requests are running at the time leading up to the crash. There are many ways to do that, with various levels of detail, depending on what version of CF you're running (Standard or Enterprise) and if Enterprise, what form of deployment: Server, Multiserver, or war/war.
    For those on CF 8/9 Enterprise, the Server Monitor can be very helpful.
    For those on any release, in Standard or Enterprise Server deployment, the command-line CFSTAT tool (or same info in Windows Perfmon) can be very helpful. Google about it or see the CF Docs to learn more.
    In any version of CF since 6, whether Standard or Enterprise, Server or Multiserver, the JRun Metrics can be helpful. Again, google or see the docs to learn more.
    Finally, those on any version of CF since 6, whether Standard or Enterprise, Server or Multiserver, can also use third party monitoring tools like FusionReactor and SeeFusion. Where the CFSTAT, Perfmon, and JRun Metrics only provide gross numbers about how many requests are running, FR and SF (like the CF Server Monitor) can tell you exactly WHAT requests are running (each request's name, how long it's been running, the IP address of the sender, the user-agent, and much more, including details about what queries have run in each request, if that feature is enabled.)
    2) You ask how a site can still be causing errors to the CF logs even with the site stopped. Well, maybe the requests aren't coming in via IIS. Maybe they're happening based on a scheduled task, or perhaps via the built-in web server in CF (though that would be somewhat harder to happen easily).
    In addition to the tools above that can show you details about what requests are running, you can also check your web server logs to get more details about what requests have run (and FusionReactor also logs every request that runs, with still more detail than the web server logs).
    There has to be an explanation. Things don't happen without a cause.   Since this is what I do for a living (help people solve CF problems), I can tell you that the number of things that can happen is surprising, but then again nearly all problems are easily solved once you know where to look and can connect the dots. That's where sometimes experience certainly helps. In that regard, I'll say that if you decide you'd rather have someone "looking over your shoulder" while you try to sort through things, you can find more about my services in the signature below. But as you can see, I and others are happy to help for free here. Sometimes, it's just more expedient to get help directly. Totally your call.
    Hope the above may be enough to help get you going.

  • How do you log out?

    How do you log out of a forum? Is it at all possible?
    Seems I am logged in to any forum I go to if I switch between different ones, even ones I never previously used to be a member of. So am I now a member of all existing forums just because I logged in?
    I've actually been a member of several Adobe forums since 2002, but today they all consider me a new member who only joined today and gave me a screenname I  haven't used for quite some time. Not funny.

    Curt, please listen to me. First off, pointing out that some new features do not seem to be an improvement doesn't put me in dinosaur territory.
    Second, even if we added an extra 'feature' of telling me who is being replied to, that doesn't tell me what they said. To know that I'd have to start jumping back and forth. If I don't even realise that an apparent non sequitur is because a person is replying to something a couple of pages back - because they are using threaded view - that's a recipe for confusion.
    Before, if we needed to reply to a post some way back, we'd swipe through the relevant text - as more than one post was visible when replying, another new annoyance - add a greater than symbol, paste and carry on.
    How do you think people will react if they've never been here before, have no clue about what threaded/flat views even are?
    I don't particularly like threaded view, partly because of the ever-shrinking width, but I'd live with it if everyone used it.
    If I insisted on living in the past I'd still be using Pagemaker or Quark and Pagemill - but you don't have to lose your critical faculties every time someone waves something new and shiny in front of your eyes.

    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
    Set up iCloud on your devices

  • My Macbook Pro was stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. New hard drive is too small for a Time Machine restore. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) on my new Macbook without repurchasing them?

    My Macbook Pro was recently stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. I attempted to simply do a restore from the Macbook Pro's Time Machine backup, but since the new Macbook Air's hard drive is significantly smaller, a Time Machine restore was not possible. I even tried to choose only settings or only my User Profile (option) when restoring, but the backup was still too large to do a restore onto the new machine. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) onto my new Macbook without repurchasing them? Also, I reaad somewhere that if you went to the Mac App Store and attempted to repurchase the app and clicked BUY, it would simply alert you that you have already purchased the app (and trigger a re-download)... NOT THE CASE... So I just dropped another $19.99 for a second copy of Pages... Not my intention....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    LM

    you should get a usb backup drive as well.  time machine has limited use in my eyes. it saves things. but older things can be errased ad space drops without telling you
    nothing beats data redundancy.  2 saves is. 1.    and 1 is none
    im personally not fond of time machne though i use it only for a recovery parameter for a mac
    id never ever myself consider time machine a genuine data backup tool.  though most do consider it as such
    drive clones such as superduper and carbon copy cloner can clone your entire drive for emergency recovery.  and you can boot from them as well o. another mac

  • Aperture 3 keeps crashing on me, consistently. More frequently after using Burn tool or skin smoothing - and even more often when I feather. What can I do? I already upgraded my RAM. I'm at a loss!

    Aperture 3 keeps crashing on me, consistently. More frequently after using Burn tool or skin smoothing - and even more often when I feather. What can I do? I already upgraded my RAM. I'm at a loss!

    4) When my computer crashes, once it starts again, it says "repairing" ... but I am not familiar with reparing permissions -- can you explain how I might do that?
    If you are running OS X Lion, then you can restart your computer and then press and hold the 'Option' key immediately after you hear the start up 'gong' (usually heard when grey screen shows as it restarts).
    You should see at least two Disks to choose from. Choose 'Recovery Disk' and wait for it to load, then choose 'Disk Utility' option in the Utilities dialog.
    Once Disk Utility loads, do the following:
    1 - In the left hand pane, choose your system partition (usually called either 'Macintosh HD' or 'Macintosh SSD'). Note - don't choose the actual hard drive listed above the partition when using Disk Utility in OS X Lion as this doesn't offer options for repairing due to it including the Recovery Disk you have loaded in memory.
    2 - Click the 'First Aid' tab
    3 - Click the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button in lower portion of main pane and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message in main pane saying Disk Permissions are repaired.
    4 - At lower right of same pane, click the 'Repair Disk' button and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message indicating that Disk Repair is completed and all appears to be good.
    5 - Quit Disk Utility > Close Utilities dialog window > Click 'Restart' button (confirm as needed).
    You should boot straight into the system partition when complete.
    Note - any red text in the main pane text while running the repairs will be issues and you will need to follow the advice given or post back.
    If you are running Snow Leopard; then (as David mentions) boot from your first OS X reinstall disc and run the Disk Utility the same way; except you select the actual hard drive listed at top of left pane (not the partition below it). This is because Snow Leopard does not use a 'Recovery Disk' partition and repairs can be run on the HD or SSD itself.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why does Googlemail not appear on the Start Page every time instead of going all through "more" and " even more etc, plus having to sign in even though I have ticked the Stay signed in box?

    There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
    Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
    To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
    Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!

    You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
    If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

    Im using a different computer that has another persons Itunes on it. How can I log them out and see all the music I have and be able to download new music to my account?

    Hi bigin135,
    The best method is to create a new user for you so that way it is a brand new iTunes library so you can see what has been purchased. Once you are done, then that user account can be deleted once you have deauthorize and signed out of that account. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • How to restrict logging on portal (Performance issue)

    Hi guys,
    does anyone know how to restrict logging of the portal? Even though I made a change on Visual Administrator -> Services -> Log Configurator setting ALL categories to severity = 'Error', I keep getting 'Info' severity traces logged in defaultTrace.trc (viewed by Logg Viewer). Which in practise means tons of logged trace information! I think this might be one of the reasons we have been experiencing performance issues lately.
    Does anyone know how to restrict this logging?
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Frank

    Hi,
    I would not only set the severity of categories to 'Error' but also locations to 'Error'.
    A log controller - can be a "category" or a "location".     Categories are used for "logging" and represent problem areas such as network, database, security, user interface, etc. Identified by a slash-separated ('/') path of names, prefixed with an additional slash.     Locations are used for "tracing" and correspond to places in the development components. Identified by a dot-separated ('.') path of names, which is often the name of the respective java package.
