Good Morning,
I'm trying to unify the server logs on a common network unit like
fileName="\\NETWORK\App\log{ServerName}.log"
But I don't find a parameter that allows log files with the server name
<add name="Rolling Flat File Trace Listener" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners.RollingFlatFileTraceListener, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.414.0 listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.RollingFlatFileTraceListenerData, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral,
fileName="\\NETWORK\App\Log\log{ServerName}.log" formatter="Text Formatter" rollInterval="Day" timeStampPattern="_yyyy-MM-dd" maxArchivedFiles="30" />
Thx.
You can use environment variables in the file name. In this case %COMPUTERNAME%:
<add name="Rolling Flat File Trace Listener" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners.RollingFlatFileTraceListener, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.414.0 listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.RollingFlatFileTraceListenerData, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral,

We decided to migrate from SQL Server Compact to SQL Server Express (possibly LocalDB) as Compact is no longer supported and we believe Express is more feature rich and likely performs better.
I made the changes necessary (although clearly missed something :) ) and the database is recreated as an .mdf file. The problem seems to be when the database is accessed. I get the error I have pasted below. The upshot is that somehow, somewhere I seem to have a reference to a provider with invariant name System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0 when I have no intention of doing so.
I have done research and found these two relevant posts, which are not fully answered:
MVC app erroring on SqlServerCe.4.0 provider after converting to Sql Express
and
Entity Framework using the wrong connection provider
I have tried deleting the migrations and have modified the app.config file. I have also deleted on references to SQL Server Compact from the project references. What else should I be looking at? I'm tearing my hair out over this one.
What other information can I provide?
Thanks,
Dave
P.S. Another way to ask the question would be pointing out that https://stackoverflow.com/users/183934/erikej commented in the links above:
"Obviously you reference sqlce somewhere, either in .settings or in code based configuration DbConfiguration class... – ErikEJ Sep 13 '14 at 6:09 "
Where are all possible places that Compact could be referenced?

Except for the commented out sections, I do not believe I am mentioning SQL Server Compact!
ADDITIONAL INFO IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 2
The configuration string used is pulled from a .json file and looks like this:
LocalDbConnection:
Server=(LocalDB)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=Vax3
Previously I was using:
Data Source=C:\ProgramData\TruMed\AccuVax\AccuVax.sdf;
Clearly there is some concern I'm using the wrong connection string and/or adapter as I'm getting messages about SQL Server Compact. I have searched the code for AccuVax.sdf and have not found any instances. Again, database is created no problem; the problem seems to be accessing it.
We also had the same problem. We tried to migrate from SQL Compact to SQL Express. We chased and removed any reference to SQL Compact in the solution but that was not enough.
Our final move was to clean completely the solution (any visual studio that are not needed to open the solution):
remove obj, debug, release...
remove .vs folder (that's probably the one)
Finally we reopened the solution, tried again and got it work.
Hope it helps.
I'm having problems with logging into sql server 2008 Express using Enterprise Library 5.0
It works in my development environment (VS2010) but NOT on my Server 2008/SQL Server 2008 Express.
To make sure it was not the database I also tested with a flat file. Did not work either.
Both files are present in my bin directory.

Have a nice day!
The error you're getting is indicating that Entlib hasn't initialized itself properly. The database is a red herring - you haven't gotten the logging block working at all right now.
Is the logging section defined in the <configSections> element of your web.config file?
Update:
You added your configSections element, but what you posted is malformed: <configSections></sectionGroup>. If that's accurate, then that's the problem, malformed config. Fix the close tag and it should start working.
does anyone know where I can view the exeception log from microsoft practices enterprise library 5.0?

I have checked the Application log in the event viewer but nothing in there... please help!
Since you are logging to the Windows Event Log, the event source must be registered with the operating system before you can successfully log using it. Normally the .NET framework will automatically create event sources the first time you use them, but creating event sources requires administrator privileges. You can run the app as admin once and get it registered or search MSDN for "registering event sources".
I am trying to log a simple string to a log file.
I only need Category, message and timestamp.
Thus I have configured app.config like this:
<listeners>
<add name="Flat File Destination"
fileName="C:\Log\Phoenix.Common.Tests\Debug.log"
header="-----------------------------------------------------------------"
formatter="Text Formatter" footer="" rollFileExistsBehavior="Increment" rollInterval="Midnight" rollSizeKB="0" timeStampPattern="yyyy-MM-dd"

type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners.RollingFlatFileTraceListener, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

</formatters>
But I get all kind of additional stuff in my log file:
Priority: 50
EventId: 50 Severity: Verbose
Title:Testing Log
Machine: DK-PC-P4740
App Domain: TestAppDomain: 80803a4f-8e18-47bb-901e-cdac784c8041
ProcessId: 6492
Process Name: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\QTAgent32.exe
How do I avoid this additional stuff?
Can someone send me a link to an example that only log the message into the log file?
You may have figured this out by now...
Simply change the template in the section of your app.config to something like
template="{timestamp(local)}: {message}"
You probably want to remove the header & footer strings in the section too. e.g. Header=""
I am using Database TraceListener for logging. I've executed the CreateLoggingDb.cmd and the Logging Database is in place. My web.config looks like the below.
When an excpetion occurs I try to log it as below.
ExceptionPolicy.HandleException(ex, "PayrollException");
The code runs but it does not log in the database table. Please let me know if the settings in web.config are not correct or the procedure for logging has to be different.

A few places to start looking are:
Did you use EntLibConfig.exe to build the web.config? This is an exe that comes with Enterprise Library, you should find it in the Bin directory of the Enterprise Library install in Program Files - it gives you a reasonably intuitive graphical interface to set up enterprise library for an application: just point it at the config file for your application and set up the things you want.
For database logging you need to configure your connection strings using the Data Access Application Block - you will need another section in your config file for this.
For your database connection string, what authenticaion mode are you using? Does the user identity running the application have write access to the logging database?
Do you have other database connectivity?
Also - if you are running the .Net framework 3.5 you should consider using version 4.1 of the Enterprise Library.
EDIT after config file supplied
Looking at the config file you've attached (you may want to remove the passwords by the way) I think that you are missing a logging exception handler - the only exception handler you appear to have is a wrap exception handler.
Below is an example of one of one of my exception handling policies (from 4.1 of the Enterprise Library but yours should be similar).
<exceptionPolicies>
<add name="Data Layer Policy">
<exceptionTypes>
<add type="System.Exception, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
postHandlingAction="NotifyRethrow" name="Exception">
<exceptionHandlers>
<add logCategory="DataLayer" eventId="100" severity="Error" title="Data Layer Exception"
formatterType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.TextExceptionFormatter, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
priority="0" useDefaultLogger="false" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging.LoggingExceptionHandler, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
name="Logging Handler" />
</exceptionHandlers>
</add>
</exceptionTypes>
</add>
</exceptionPolicies>
The wrap handler is used where you want to wrap one exception around another. You can have both a logging handler and a wrap handler if that is needed - the logging handlers fire before the wrapping ones.
