DATE fields and LOG files in context with external tables

I am facing two problems when dealing with the external tables feature in Oracle 9i.
I created an External Table with some fileds with the DATE data type . There were no issues during the creation part. But when i query the table, the DATE fields are not properly selected though the data is there in the files. Is there any ideas to deal with this ?
My next question is regarding the log files. The contents in the log file seems to be growing when querying the external tables. Is there a way to control this behaviour?
Suggestions / Advices on the above two issues are welcome.
Thanks
Lakshminarayanan

Hi
If you have date datatypes than:
select
greatest(TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE, EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE)
from TABCASER, TABCASER1, EVCASERS
where ...-- join and other conditions
1. greatest is good enough
2. to_date creates date dataype from string with the format of format string ('mm/dd/yyyy')
3. decode(a, b, c, d) is a function: if a = b than return c else d. NULL means that there is no data in the cell of the table.
6. to format the date for display use to_char function with format modell as in the to_date function.

DataGuard Windows 9201 - log file transfer interrupt with a big redo log

OS WINDOWS
Oracle 9201
Primary: service_name orcl1 db_name orcl1
Standby: service_name orcl2 db_name orcl1
Same dir structure distribute on different VMware machine but connect with a real physical fiber network enviorment, two node distance more than 20km.
LOG FILE - 100M
MAX PERFORMACE MODE
we can got succesful result when input 'alter system switch log file' manually, the log usually small than 20m.
but when we try to switch a full redo log the error occur, log can't transfer to standby site.
it's seem to a transfer interrupt by some unnameable reason.
we check the network ping, lsnrctl service_name status, dataguard configration and windows tcpip configration, but have no conclusion.
we will crzy!! help
the log trace that use log_archive_trace=128 on primary site show:

NIPING LOG File in IFS with CCSID(500) not readable in Windows Explorer

Hi together,
if we made logfiles with NIPING logfiles or saprouter logfiles, this logfiles will be created in IFS with CCSID(500).
How can I read this files with Windows Explorer?
Because all CCSID(500) files looks like jam, when we open that files.
best regards,
Carsten Schulz

Hi Carsten,
do you use a binary share when accessing the file from a Window PC, or did you configure text conversion? In the System i Navigator, you open the Propertis of the share in question and check the "Text Conversion" tab. If you enable text conversion, you can also limit that to certain file extensions. Make sure the log files that you are viewing use one of the extensions that is specified here, or that you have specified * for the extensions to convert.
If that does not help, there may be a mismatch between the CCSID tagging on the file and the contents in the file. This will be shown if you look at the file through WRKLNK option 5 (DSPF).
Kind regards,
Christian Bartels.

Log file sync waits with null sql_ids

10.2.0.3
I am querying V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY to drill into log file sync waits.
select sql_id,sum(time_waited)
from v$active_session_history
where sample_time > sysdate - 1/24
group by sql_id
order by 2 desc
All of my top sessions for this have null sql_ids. I did some google searches and these are the answers that I found have null sql_ids. There are some other sessions where the sql_id is not null, but they are not anywhere near the top.
1. could be running pl/sql. yeah ok. but I would need to run 'dml' and issue a commit for this event to fire).
2. no sql is running. does this mean the insert finished and then I am waiting on the 'commit' part?
I want to track these sqls down so I can track them back to the application. I want to get the developers to limit their commit frequency and use batch (array based) DML. How do I track this down?
Also, is there anyway to figure out how often different users are committing? I want to track back to the worst offenders. Could be some parts of the application are commit periodically and others are not, but log file sync's could slow down everyone.

You are either bored or suffer from Compulsive Tuning Disorder.
It can be a challenge to solve a problem that only exists between your ears
post results from SQL below
SELECT sql_id,
       SUM(time_waited) / 1000000

Modellog.log file being moved with inapproprite name. Startup is now failing.

I ran an alter database command to move to model database to a new location. This was a DISA STIG security requirement. It is something I have done dozens or times successfully, but yesterday I went brain dead.
ALTER DATABASE Model MODIFY FILE ( NAME = modellog , FILENAME = 'C:\dir\modellog. log')
I should have proofed better, but I just plain missed it.
Notice the embedded space between '.' and log. Even though the file has been copied to the correct database it is still called modellog.log not modellog. log as expected by the startup process.
Is there any way to change the name the statup process is searching for? or is there a way to rename the file so it does contain an embedded space after the '.' ? I tried using and rename command without luck.
Thoughts?
Just my thoughts tomh

Start sql server in command prompt using these startup parameters
/f /m /t3608
net start mssqlserver /f /m /t3608
Once it is started, run the alter command without the space. Once this is done, shutdown SQL Server and start it normally.
Trace flag 3608
Prevents SQL Server from automatically starting and recovering any database except the
master database. If activities that require tempdb are initiated, then
model is recovered and tempdb is created. Other databases will be started and recovered when accessed. Some features, such as snapshot isolation and read committed snapshot, might not work. Use for
Move System Databases and
Move User Databases. Do not use during normal operation.
Note: Please dont keep the sql server database files in C drive . That includes System database files as well. Please move it to another drive other than the system drive C.

888k Error in ULS Logs for File System Cache

Hello,
We have a SharePoint 2010 farm in a three-tier architecture with multiple WFEs and APP servers.
Roughly once a week we will have a number of WFEs seize up and jump to 100% CPU usage. Usually they come in pairs; two servers will jump to 100% at the same time while all the other servers are fine in the 20% - 50% range.
Corresponding to the 100% CPU spike, the following appear in the ULS logs:
"File system cache monitor encoutered error, flushing in memory cache: System.IO.InternalBufferOverflowException: Too many changes at once in directory:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\<GUID>\."
When these appear, the ULS logs will show hundreds back-to-back flooding the logs.
I have yet to figure out how to stop these and bring the CPU usage down while the incident is happening, and how to prevent them in the future.
While the incident is happening, I have tried clearing the configuration cache, shutting the timer jobs down on each server, deleting all the files but config.ini in the folder listed above, changing config.ini to 1, and restarting the timer. The CPU will
drop momentarily during this process, but as soon as all the timer jobs are restarted the CPUs jump back to 100% on the same servers.
This week as part of my weekly maintenance I thought I'd be proactive and clear the cache even though the behavior wasn't happening, and all CPUs were normal. As soon as I finished, the CPU on two servers that were previously fine jumped to 100% and wouldn't
come down. Needless to say, users complain of latency when servers are at 100% CPU.
So I am frustrated. The only thing I have found that works when the CPUs jump to 100% with these errors are a reboot. Nothing else, including IISReset and stopping/starting the admin and timer job services work. Being Production systems, reboots during the
middle of the day are bad.
Any ideas? I have scoured the Internet resources on this error and have come up relatively empty-handed. All the articles reference clearing the configuration cache, which, in my instance, does not get rid of these issues, and can even trigger them.
Thanks,
Joseph Irvine

Problems with Ericsson F3507g card - does anyone understand Access Connections log files?

I am having big problems getting an f3507g mobile broadband card working on a T500 running XP Pro.
Have had problems with several machines all supplied in the same batch and it turns out that the BIOS needs to be reset to defaults post installation of the card for it to be properly recognised by the OS.
Anyway, all machines are now fixed with the exception of one....
Everything looks okay on the surface - the F3507g card is showing under Device Manager, just to be sure I've reinstalled Access Connections and loaded drivers for the card. I know that the driver install was successful because it pinged up with the standard driver install success message - 'Windows found new hardware...' about half a dozen times immediately following the install. Having done the driver install I attempted connection and the CA Internet Security Suite Firewall popped up asking whether I wanted to accept the device as a 'Safe' device - clicked yes to that.
However, attempting connection never works
I've tried enabling logging and the log file produced together with a fault report is here.
I have tried the SIM card under test in another machine and it works. I have also swapped the HDD out of another identical brand new machine and it works with the hardware including the Ericsson card - so the issue has to be software related...
I could reimage but the user will loose some graphic design application software which is very difficult to reinstall.
Hope someone that understands Access Connections WWAN debug log files or has had a similar experience might be able to point me in the right direction...
Many thanks

@ Deadloss,
have you checked the power settings in the cards properties? Not that windows is turning it off?
Are you using a factory image or your own custom image, I'm thinking that maybe a reimage might help ??
@ schm1tty,
T-Mobile SIMs work fine, what problems are you having? Maybe you could start a new thread so as not to hijack this one.

When trying to create sitecollection showing a blank screen with text ACK

When i am trying to create a site collection i am ending up with a blank site with text ACK.Please can any1 help me in fixing this issue.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that it show a blank site with text ACK when you create a site collection.
To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend that you can try to test the following things.
1. Create some new different types site collections in this web application to check if this issue is occurred on the only site collection in this web application.
2. Create a new site collection in another web application to check if this issue is occurred on the only web application.
3. Create a new web application, create a new site collection in this new web application to test if it works.
If the issue persists, please check the ULS log file to find more information about this issue.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Best Regards,
Yumi Fu

Office Web Apps - "Could not find trace string in ULS logs" unhealthy?

I have reviewed everything I could find on unhealthy WAC clusters as my problem seems unrelated to certificate or missing components. I've already digested
http://www.wictorwilen.se/office-web-apps-server-2013---machines-are-always-reported-as-unhealthy (Thanks Wictor).
The particular configuration is an Office Web Apps 2013 ([X-OfficeVersion, 15.0.4551.1005]), running on top of Windows Server 2012, configured for http access (SSL offloaded NLB cluster) and finally linked to Exchange 2013, Lync 2013 and SharePoint
2013. Everything works as expected from client side after setting IIS ARR to handle all reverse proxy bits.

I suspect these might be related, but can't seem to find any logical explanation why this should cause the Get-OfficeWebAppsMachine to report HealthStatus of Unhealthy. If related, is there a way to disable this check or remove throttling in a safe
way? Alternatively if this is some coding issue (I've not found any other blog/QA dealing with this particularly) it would be nice to get confirmation of this and potentially a fix/solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi ChristiaanB,
You get this ULS error because you change the log verbosity of the OWA farm. I wrote an article for this on my blog : OWA unhealthy uls issue

Crystal Report Server Database Log File Growth Out Of Control?

We are hosting Crystal Report Server 11.5 on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise. Our Crystal Report Server SQL 2005 database file size = 6,272 KB, and the log file that goes with the database has a size = 23,839,552.
I have been reviewing the Application Logs and this log file size is auto-increasing about 3-times a week.
We backup the database each night, and run maintenance routines to Check Database Integrity, re-organize index, rebuild index, update statistics, and backup the database.
Is it "Normal" to have such a large LOG file compared to the DATABASE file?
Can you tell me if there is a recommended way to SHRINK the log file?
Some Technical Documents suggest frist truncating the log, and the using the DBCC SHRINKFILE command:
USE CRS
GO
--Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE
ALTER DATABASE CRS
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
--Shrink the truncated log file to 1 gigabyte
DBCC SHRINKFILE (CRS_log, 1000);
GO
--Reset the database recovery model.
ALTER DATABASE CRS
SET RECOVERY FULL;
GO
Do you think this approach would help?
Do you think this approach would cause any problems?

my bad you didn't put the K on the 2nd number.
Looking at my SQL server that's crazy big my logs are in the k's like 4-8.
I think someone enabled some type of debugging on your SQL server, it's more of a Microsoft issue, as our product doesn't require it from looking at my SQL DB's

Error for Generating a log file

Hi Cezar sanos,
i am trying to generate a log file for ODI with details like who logged in and what is is doing kind of things.
For this i am executing the command like
lagentscheduler.bat "-PORT=20910" "-NAME=localagent" "-V=2" > C:\OraHome_1\logs\agent1.log.
But its getting the error like
A JDK is required to execute Web Services with OracleDI. You are currently using a JRE.
OracleDI: Starting Scheduler Agent ...
Starting Oracle Data Integrator Agent...
Version : 10.1.3.5 - 10/11/2008
DwgJv.main: Exit. Return code:-1

Just in case,
the following message :
A JDK is required to execute Web Services with OracleDI. You are currently using a JRE.
is only a warning and not an error message....

Hardening & Keeping Log files in 10.9

I'm not in IT but I'm trying to Harden our Macs to please a client. I found several Hardening Tips & Guides written for older versions of OS X, but none for 10.9. Does anyone know of a Hardening Guide written with commands 10.9.
Right now I found a guide written for 10.8 and have been mostly sucessful implementing it except for a couple sticking points.
They suggested keeping security.log files for 30 days, I found out that they got rid of security.log and most of its functionality is in authd.log. But I can't figure out how to keep authd logs for 30 days. Does anyone know how I can set this?
I also need to keep install.log for 30 days as well, but not seeing a way to control this in /etc/newsyslog.conf. Anyone know how to set this as well.
Does anyone know if the following audit flags should still work: lo,ad,fd,fm,-all?
I'm trying to keep system.log & appfirewall.log for 30 days as well, I've figured out these have moved from /etc/newsyslog.conf to etc/asl.conf, but I'm not sure if I've set this correctly. Right now I have added "store_ttl=30" to these 2 lines asl.conf. Should this work? Is there a better way to do this?
> system.log mode=0640 format=bsd rotate=seq compress file_max=5M all_max=100M store_ttl=30

Hi Alex...
Jim,
who came up with this solution????
I got these solutions for creating log files and reconstructing the database from this forum a while back....probably last year sometime.
Up until recently after doing this, there has been
no
problem - server runs as it should.
I dare to say pure luck.
The reason I do
this is because if I don't, the server does NOT
automatically create new empty .log files, and
when
it fills the current log file, it "crashes" with
the
"unkown mailbox path" displayed for all mailboxes.
I would think you some fundamental underlying issue
there.
I assume by "unkown mailbox path" problem you mean a
corrupt cyrus database?
Yes, I believe that db corruption is the case...
You should never ever manually modify anthing inside
cyrus' configuration database. This is just a
desaster waiting to happen.
If your database gets regularly corrupted, we need to
investigate why. Many possible reasons: related
processes crashing, disk failure, power
failure/surges and so on.
Aha!...about a month ago - thinking back to when this problem started - there was a power outage here, over a weekend! The hard drive was "kicked out" of the server box when I returned to work on that Monday....and that's when this problem started!
I suggest you increase the logging level for a few
days and keep an eye on things. Then post log
extracts and /etc/imapd.conf and we'll take it from
there.
Alex
Ok, thanks, will do!
P.S. Download mailbfr from here:
http://osx.topicdesk.com/downloads/
This will allow you to easily rebuild if needed and
most important to do proper backups of your mail
services.
Thanks for that, too. I will check it out and return to this forum with an update in the near future.

How to remove all log files at application end ?

I need to remove all log files from database dir.
Just the data file must be in database diretory after the application ends.
I´v tried:
1 - set_flags(DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE, 1);
2 - txn_checkpoint(0, 0, DB_FORCE);
But ways one log file reminds.
Any bory nows how remove all log files at application end ?
I really need this. How can i do that in C++ ?
Thanks,
DelNeto

Here's how I solved it
// At end of app.
// Commit tables.
pdbParam     ->sync(0);
pdbUser     ->sync(0);
// Close tables.
pdbParam     ->close(0);
pdbUser     ->close(0);
// Delete table objects.
delete     m_pdbParam;
delete     m_pdbUser;
// Commit all changes to the database.
penvDbEnv->txn_checkpoint(0, 0, DB_FORCE);
penvDbEnv->close(0);
delete penvDbEnv;
// Remove all logs files comes here.
DbEnv *penvDbEnv;
penvDbEnv = new DbEnv(0);
ui32EnvFlags = DB_CREATE |
DB_PRIVATE |
DB_INIT_LOCK |
DB_INIT_LOG |
DB_INIT_MPOOL |
DB_THREAD |
DB_INIT_TXN;
// Open the environment with full transactional support.
iResult = penvDbEnv->open("..\\database", ui32EnvFlags, 0);
// Get the list of log files.
char **pLogFilLis;
char **pLogFilLisBegin;
iResult = penvDbEnv->log_archive(&pLogFilLis, DB_ARCH_ABS | B_ARCH_LOG);
// This line resets the log sequence numbers from the database file.
// No actual log file is associated with the database.
iResult = penvDbEnv->lsn_reset("..\\database\\DATABASE.db", 0);
// Remove the log files.
if(pLogFilLis!= NULL)
// I don´t now how put spaces and tabs here, sorry about the "___".;-).
__for(pLogFilLisBegin = pLogFilLis; *pLogFilLis != NULL; ++pLogFilLis)
____iResult = remove(*pLogFilLis);
__free(pLogFilLisBegin);
// At this point no more log files exists at database directory.
penvDbEnv->close(0);
delete penvDbEnv;
// If i need remove the environment files, do this.
penvDbEnv = new DbEnv(0);
penvDbEnv->remove(("..\\database", 0);
delete m_penvDbEnv;
Thanks to Bogdan Coman for show me the way
DelNeto.
