I am new in firebird and I would like to trace my firebird-database activities, hence I am trying to use Audit/Trace Services.
My firbird databse is on Server: 10.7.105.8
I am running this comman in my cmd:
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\bin>fbtracemgr -se 10.7.105.8:3050:service_mgr -user SYSDBA -password masterkey -start -name "User Trace 1" -config "fbtrace.conf" > C:\Users\Babak\Desktop\trace.out
but I get this error:
Can not attach to service manager
Service 3050 : Service_mgr is not defined
What should I do to solve this problem?
thank you so much
EDIT
thank you for your hints. I think my trace process works fine, but I cant find the information, what I need in my trace.out file
If I am starting my trace my command promp looks like this:
if in this step I take a look in my trace.out I can only see this:
Trace Session ID 3 Started
I am running some select queries in my firebird, and then I finish my trace with with ctr+c, then the only things, which I can see in my trace.out are something like this:
Trace session ID 3 started
2015-07-08 10:49:59.868874 ***** loading fbclient.dll proc=4116 64Bit DLL Preload

and not more infos about queries, which I have run.
Could you please say me, what I have done wrong? or what should I do more?
As Mark says, check file "fbtrace.conf". This is a text file and you will see something like this:
# default database section
#
<database>
# Do we trace database events or not
enabled false
# Operations log file name. For use by system audit trace only
#log_filename
....
....
# Put transaction start/end records
log_transactions false <--- TO TEST, SET THIS TO TRUE
# Put sql statement prepare records
log_statement_prepare false <-- TO TEST, SET THIS TO TRUE
Set to true what you need to trace, save the file and check the result.
Firebird connection strings are of the format:
host/port:database
Where /port is optional and defaults to 3050, and database is either the alias or path of a database, or the name of a service. Replace :3050 with /3050 (or leave it off entirely).
The following worked for me:
Open start menu
Search for services and open it
Search Firebird Guardian in the services list.
Start Firebird Guardian if it is stopped or restart if it is running.
Now try to connect your server. It will work.

I'm attempting to start and stop an application on a single JVM via the wsadmin console since the Web UI for IBM BPM PS Adv. doesn't allow for that kind of operation. So, I have the following script:
https://gist.github.com/predatorian3/b8661c949617727630152cbe04f78d7e
and when I run it against the DMGR from the Cell Host, I receive the following errors.
[wasadmin#server01 ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/Run_wsadmin.sh
#!/bin/bash
#
#
#
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jython -user serviceAccount -password password $*

So, I'm not specifying the connection types, and using the default, which is SOAP. However, upon reading about the other Connection Types, none of them seem any better, but I attribute that to IBM Documentation vagueness. Is there an option to increase the timeout wait periods, or turn it off, or is there a better connection type?
Also running this directly on the wsadmin console, it seems that it is hanging up on gathering the application manager string.

You can increase timeout value in {profile}/properties/soap.client.props
com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout=180
If you want to turn off timeout, modify com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout=0
Or if you want longer timeout you can modify the value 180 to something else.
Also about your query command, I noticed that you have a typo on the MBean type, you had type=ApplicatoinManager, it should be type=ApplicationManager
HERE YOU GO -- I had the same issue. I want to override the timeout prop temporarily. This worked like a champ. Make sure you follow below steps exactly.I did some mistakes and the prop did not passed, I figured out and it works.
Copy the soap.client.props file from /properties and give it a new name such as mysoap.client.props.
Edit mysoap.client.props and update the value of com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout as required
Create a new Java properties file soap_override.props and enter the following line:
com.ibm.SOAP.ConfigURL=file:/mysoap.client.props
Pass soap_override.props into wsadmin using the -p option: wsadmin -p soap_override.props...

Environment:
Glassfish 4.0 (only one DAS), Windows Server 2012 R2, Java 1.7.0_51
Create the DAS instance service by using the create-service subcommand.
Issue:
The maximum history files attribute has been set, however, Glassfish Server couldn’t remove the old log files due to the lock file server.log.lck
Path --> C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\logging.properties
com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.GFFileHandler.maxHistoryFiles=10

Findings:
1, If the lock file “server.log.lck” exists in the log folder, the issue occurred, and can find the above errors in the log every day when Glassfish server tries to remove the old log files. If there is no “server.log.lck” in the log folder, no any issue and work properly.
2, If the DAS instance is started by the command “asadmin start-domain domain1”, there is no lock file “server.log.lck” generated in the log folder. But if the DAS instance is started in Windows Service, the lock file “server.log.lck” will be generated automatically and keep 0KB until stop the service, this file will be removed automatically.
3, If the DAS instance is started by the command “asadmin start-domain -w domain1” which adds the watchdog option, the lock file “server.log.lck” will be generated automatically and exist until stop the service.
4, When the lock file “server.log.lck” appears, there is always one more java.exe process existing. Therefore, when start the DAS instance from Windows Service, there are two “java.exe” running in the process and “server.log.lck” is using by one of them.
Questions:
1, I’d like to start/stop the DAS instance by Windows Service, not using the subcommand. Moreover, I don’t want to keep all Glassfish logs on my server and it will cause a disk full issue so that I would prefer to turn on the Glassfish Logging Maximum history Files option. Is there any workaround or solution for that?
2, Is this a defect of Glassfish or it’s just a setting issue? I did try to install on other servers and all had the same issue.
3, Why there are two java.exe processes running if started from Windows Server, is the 2nd one used for “watchdog”?
Thank you so much for your help and please let me know if there is any further information you’d like to know or want me to do some other tests.
In case someone is still struggling I found a solution.
When you create a GF service in Windows environment via asadmin create-service GF creates a file domain1Service.xml in glassfish\domains\domain1\bin which contains parametres for server to start.
It looks something like the following
<service>
<id>domain1</id>
<name>domain1 GlassFish Server</name>
<description>GlassFish Server</description>
<executable>C:/Supertel-NMSv3/glassfish-4.1/glassfish/lib/nadmin.bat</executable>
<logpath>C:\\Supertel-NMSv3\\glassfish-4.1\\glassfish\\domains/domain1/bin</logpath>
<logmode>reset</logmode>
<depend>tcpip</depend>
<startargument>start-domain</startargument>
<startargument>--watchdog</startargument>
<startargument>--domaindir</startargument>
<startargument>C:\\Supertel-NMSv3\\glassfish-4.1\\glassfish\\domains</startargument>
<startargument>domain1</startargument>
<stopargument>stop-domain</stopargument>
<stopargument>--domaindir</stopargument>
<stopargument>C:\\Supertel-NMSv3\\glassfish-4.1\\glassfish\\domains</stopargument>
<stopargument>domain1</stopargument>
</service>
the line <startargument>--watchdog</startargument> is responsible for launching watchdog process which prevents log file from being deleted.
You can't just delete this startargument section (the service won't start) but you can switch this off by setting false flag like this
<startargument>--watchdog=false</startargument>
After that the service will start like via manual start-domain command without watchdog process.
You should do it after every service creation and it could be pretty annoying so I did further research.
It turns out that asadmin create OS specific domainService.xml by using templates located in glassfish\lib\install\templates Those templates also OS specific. And template for Windows (named Domain-service-winsw.xml.template) looks like this
<service>
<id>%%%NAME%%%</id>
<name>%%%DISPLAY_NAME%%%</name>
<description>GlassFish Server</description>
<executable>%%%AS_ADMIN_PATH%%%</executable>
<logpath>%%%LOCATION%%%/%%%ENTITY_NAME%%%/bin</logpath>
<logmode>reset</logmode>
<depend>tcpip</depend>
<startargument>%%%START_COMMAND%%%</startargument>
<startargument>--watchdog</startargument>
%%%CREDENTIALS_START%%%%%%LOCATION_ARGS_START%%%<startargument>%%%ENTITY_NAME%%%</startargument>
<stopargument>%%%STOP_COMMAND%%%</stopargument>
%%%CREDENTIALS_STOP%%%%%%LOCATION_ARGS_STOP%%%<stopargument>%%%ENTITY_NAME%%%</stopargument>
</service>
So you can edit template directly by setting param --watchdog=false and this change will reflect in all future created files domainService.xml
Hope it helps.
That’s not the right solution. Watchdog has an important function: it monitors whether the service is running or not. Without watchdog, glassfish is started correctly, but shortly afterwards the system no longer knows if the service is still running or maybe crashed. In the Services GUI, only the “start” button is active (always!). A “stop” and “restart” cannot be used.
A right solution would be the possibility to change the path to the lock file.
We have an application in solaris during specific test case we will generate heap dump which will be written in to the server at specific path during this case we are getting following error in trace file

Can anyone please help here why we are getting this problem and can any tell us can an application cause this impact on mashost ..????
First things first, check out the NFS service w/ svcbundle and svcs -- when it crashes, run:
# svcs -x nfs/client
on the client, and
# svcs -x nfs/server
on the server. I would expect one or both to be in a "maintenance" state. (You may see it fails to start properly at all). If it is in a maintenance mode, you should see a row marked "Reason:" that says why.
You might see "offline" -- in that case, startd will attempt to reboot the service multiple times and, if it fails after five attempts or hangs indefinitely, places it into "maintenance" state and stops restarting.
Check the logs in
/var/svc/log/<service-name FMRI>.log
There will be one on your client machine under "network-nfs-client:default" (probably, may have a name other than 'default' if it's been changed manually), and one on the server under "network-nfs-server:default"
See what you can glean from those.
svcbundle is all the time taking snapshots as backups of services, so you can try reverting to one of those.
# svcs -s nfs/server:default
svc:/network/nfs/server:default> listsnap
svc:/network/nfs/server:default> revert start [name_of_snapshot]
svc:/network/nfs/server:default> quit
# svcadm refresh nfs/server:default
# svcadm restart nfs/server:default
Make sure to include the ":default" tag, or if you saw a different tag from "svcs nfs/server" include it, that name defines an instance of the service, every running service is an instance.
If the process is failing to boot, you might have to look at the XML manifest under /lib/svc/manifest/network/nfs/ -- inside, you'll see dependencies (and services dependent on this one), then "exec_method"s, which define how the service starts, stops and restarts.
Instead of snapshots, you can can also restore it to default: use svccfg -s <FMRI> delete to clear it, then svcadm refresh <FMRI> and svcadm enable <FMRI>.
If the service is in maintenance state, once you've isolated and fixed the problem, you can manually clear that state by running svcadm clear <FMRI>.
i am trying to configure Google App Engine on Eclipse and use it to run a python application locally (on the local host):
for this i used following tutorial as a guide:
http://www.mkyong.com/google-app-engine/google-app-engine-python-hello-world-example-using-eclipse/
i followed the steps properly but when i try to use the configuration i get errors the console output is:

What could be the possible mistake in configuring the GAE?
Additional info : when i try to use the project with GAE manually(ie by using the launcher) it works
Update:
i experimented and discovered that since the workstation and the python installation folder is not in the same directory i get these errors
got the hint from here:

Invalid arguments
seems like the arguments to dev_appserver.py are incorrect any ideas
If you did the same mistake as mine,then its a very high chance that you have space in the name of your directory
The warnings about deprecated things in search can be ignored. As can the message about the rdbms API if you don't plan on using that.
AppConfigNotFoundError happens when there is no app.yaml in the directory passed to dev_appserver.py. If you followed those instructions, then your app.yaml would be in the 'src' directory, and the 'program arguments' in the build command would be ${project_loc}/src - is this the case? When you run from the command-line, and see it work, what command are you running, and from what location?
this is my first post so I will try to be as descriptive as possible. Please let me know if there is anything missing:
So I am trying to install Oracle Express 11g, after I download the zip file "OracleXE112_Win32" - I unzip it, and open Disk 1 then setup. I go through the entire installation process without any problems. However when I go to open "Get Started" I come across the following error:
"Windows cannot find 'http:/.127.0.0.1:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. -- After googling this, I was told to change %HTTPPORT% to 8080.
If I do this when I click on "Get Started" the following error shows up:
"Firefox can' establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080."
I need this to work, so that I can sooner or later connect this to my eclipse, so that I can start doing my homework for my Java Programming class. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you so much!
I have found one solution for this problem. In order to explain my solution, I have used some aliases referring to my real parameters. These are:
[ME] = my user name
[MYHOST] = my current workstation hostname (netbios name as well)
[MYHOST.mycompany.com] = my worksation's fully qualified domain name
At the beginning I had the same situation as mentioned above: I was unable to connect to the apex service even after successful installation.
First I have used the tnsping oracle utility:
C:\Users\ME>tnsping MYHOST
This was the answer:

You see above a lot of currently active different IP addresses. Only the most important 127.0.0.1 is missing. I work on notebook so the network is "almost always" changing (WLAN, 3G, HSDPA, Ethernet etc.) only the localhost is fixed. And that was the real case of the trouble. (When I was working at the office environment connected to the office network it was also working.)
When I was in this situation I also started to use the lsnrctl oracle utility.
I have seen the following:

You can see that the service for the apex at 8080 port is missing !!!
I have tried also the normal ping which worked perfectly:
C:\Users\ME>ping MYHOST.mycompany.com
The result was:
MYHOST.mycompany.com [fe80::c27:54a4:1600:86a4%26] ping
response fe80::c27:54a4:1600:86a4%26: time<10 ms
...
You can realize the IPv6 address also exists in my tnsping trial as well.
So I have decided to define MYHOST in my local hosts file directly:
127.0.0.1 localhost MYHOST MYHOST.mycompany.com
Testing now with ping:
C:\Users\ME>ping MYHOST
And the answer:
MYHOST.mycompany.com [127.0.0.1] ping:
response 127.0.0.1: byte=32 time<10 ms. TTL=128
...
At this point I have restarted (stopped and started again) the both running Oracle services (just for sure):
OracleServiceXE
OracleXETNSListener
And look the miracle:
C:\Users\ME>lsnrctl
LSNRCTL for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
LSNRCTL> status

You can see the important line with PORT=8080 and service XE instance.
So I am happy the getting started URL is working again.
What browser are you using? I experienced the same issue with Chrome. Download firefox, Right click the "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" icon and change the "opens with" option to firefox.
Simple solution:
You need to directly tell where your http port is. To do so; open up the folder where your Oracle is stored and navigate to server folder( in my case C:\Oracle\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server) in that folder right click to Get_Started file and choose properties. There you can hand type your http port which is usually 8080 in my case: ....127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950
The problem should be solved.
Hope this helps you get through it..

Right Click on the "Get Started" icon and click on the properties and select General tab. Click on change button and select other browser installed in your system other than the current one . after setting this up, you'll be able to open the panel.
I also experienced the same problem for this go to start-> all programs -> Oracle Database 11g Express Edition and right click on get started and click open file location and drag and drop the "Get_Started" to your browser
Ok, I found the solution. Right click on icon of "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition", then "properties". Then click "General tab" and then you will see option "change", click on that and then select your browser, click "apply" and "ok". And then start the Database again.
Drag and drop get started link into browser address bar worked great for me, I tried EVERYTHING else, adding port to hosts, changing port in properties etc. nothing worked, until I dragged and dropped... So damn simple, wish I did that hours ago
Your solution is partially correct buddy. You need to match the entries in the file:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN\listener.ora
(the entries with the --> mark)
:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
--> (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
--> (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myserver.company.com)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
:
With the entries in the file:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
(the entries with the --> mark)
:
--> 127.0.0.1 localhost
--> 1.2.3.4 myserver myserver.company.com
:
Finally, under Administrator account do:
C:> lsnrctl stop
C:> lsnrctl start
Solved. No need for changing name, no drag & drop either.
