Template settings for Entlib logger - enterprise-library

I had to move to the entlib logger from log4net. I know what you're thinking? :)
Anyways, I am trying to change the default template for the logger to get rid of the useless info - like like priority etc.. But my logs still have it - all those value are either null or default (value-types) in the log entry that's created. Here's the template:
<add template="Timestamp: {timestamp}{tab}Category: {category}{tab}Severity: {severity}{newline}
Process Id: {processId}{tab}Thread Id: {win32ThreadId}{newline}
Message: {message}"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Formatters.TextFormatter, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
name="Text Formatter" />
I am still getting Event ID, Titel, Machine, Priority and Process name. Any help would be appreciated.
Is there a way to name the old roll-over log files using an number instead of time-stamp and specify the max roll-over count - like in log4net?

In the config file (app.config) there is an element formatters. You can change this (preferable with the config tool). One of mine looks like this:
<add
template="{timestamp} {machine}:{processId}:{threadName}({win32ThreadId}) {message}"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Formatters.TextFormatter, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
name="LogFileFormatter" />

provider with invariant name 'Devart.Data.PostgreSql' is either not registered in the machine or application config file, or could not be loaded

I get this error message when using my API with PostGres database.
"The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'Devart.Data.PostgreSql' is either not registered in the machine or application config file, or could not be loaded. See the inner exception for details."
I have the feeling I need to install Devart product on my staging and production server to fix the error. Is it right? In case this is right I would like to understand why simply copying or publishing Devart dll is not enough? Normally it should be enough.
In error message I can read "is either not registered". What does it mean to be registered? Is it rehgistered in confi file or I need to do a specific operation on my staging and produciton machine?
You should register configuration information in the DbProviderFactories section of the *.config file:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="Devart.Data.PostgreSql" />
<add name="dotConnect for PostgreSQL" invariant="Devart.Data.PostgreSql" description="Devart dotConnect for PostgreSQL" type="Devart.Data.PostgreSql.PgSqlProviderFactory, Devart.Data.PostgreSql, Version=7.12.1328.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=09af7300eec23701" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
Replace 7.12.1328.0 here with your actual version.

Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.DLL but was not handled in user code

Searched google and using Enterprise library data access to connect database.
Installed only data access pack using https://www.nuget.org/packages/EnterpriseLibrary.Data/.
After added to the project, I've set the configuration as follows,
<configSections>
<section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<dataConfiguration defaultDatabase="dProvider" />
<connectionStrings>
<add name="dProvider" connectionString="server=local;Initial Catalog=n;uid=sa;pwd=pwd"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Called through the application like the following,
Database db;
string sqlCommand;
DbCommand dbCommand;
db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase("dProvider"); or DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase();
After run the application, I got the following exception,
{"Database provider factory not set for the static DatabaseFactory. Set a provider factory invoking the DatabaseFactory.SetProviderFactory method or by specifying custom mappings by calling the DatabaseFactory.SetDatabases method."}
What mistake I made ? How to solve this issue ?
Finally found the answer. It has been occurred because of the configuration section.
I've used version 6, but here I've mentioned like version 5 in the configuration section. So the error has occurred.
I've replaced the configuration section like following, It worked perfectly in good way. :-). Thanks a lot for the helpers.
<configSections>
<section name="dataConfiguration"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data"/>
</configSections>
and used DataBaseProviderFactory class to create instance.
DatabaseProviderFactory factory = new DatabaseProviderFactory();
db = factory.Create("dProvider");

Function imports for entity framework with odp.net managed driver

I recently switched from ODP Unmanaged to ODP Managed (in conjunction with Entity Framework).
The Unmanaged drivers were working fine after adding the necessary information in the web.config section. I could add the stored procedures and generate the complex types using the Function Import - Get Column information (I'm trying to import a stored procedure with an OUT refcursor parameter).
After the switch the config section was updated to reflect the new format and everything works at runtime (so the format is correct).
However when I try to generate the complex types again (or add a new Function Import) I just get a System.notSupportedException Message: The specified type is not supported by this selector) Without any indication which type/selector it is (obviously)...
Google has turned up nothing and the thread on the Oracle Forums has gathered no response as well.

The implicit ref cursor config file format is different between Unmanaged ODP.NET and Managed ODP.NET. That might be part of your problem.
To save yourself from pulling your hair out, install the latest Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (ODT) and use the new feature that automatically generates this config:
1) Install ODT 12.1 if you haven't already
2) Find the stored procedure in server explorer, right click it and run it, and enter input parameters.
3) For the output ref cursor that represents the return value for your Entity Function, choose "Add to Config" checkbox.
4) Then select either "Show Config" (and then cut and paste) or "Add to Config".
Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about:

If this doesn't fix the problem, play around with that boolean mapping. I am not 100% sure of this as of this writing, but I remember hearing that support for booleans is another difference between managed and unmanaged ODP.NET. I'm sure it's buried in the release notes or doc somewhere.

Two things you would want to try which might potentially solve the issue:
Ensure the case of the schema name, stored procedure name and the
column names in the config are the same as that in the Oracle.
Try mapping the native type to a more conformant provider type, like
the first column COL1 - map an int32 providerType to the
number(10,0) nativeDataType as enforced by your edmmapping, instead of
the Decimal that you currently have. And so forth for the other
columns (like remove the column lengths) until you do not see the error or get a different one.
I've got the same error and I think my problem is a providerType of DOUBLE or DECIMAL. But, I got one to work that has your 3 column types. Your problem is that a number(10,0) should be a providerType of "Int64".
Stored Procedure:
create or replace PROCEDURE "PROC_ESCC_FIELDS" (p_recordset OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_recordset FOR
SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3
FROM MyTable;
END PROC_ESCC_FIELDS;
This works and returns the cursor:
<oracle.manageddataaccess.client>
<version number="*">
<implicitRefCursor>
<storedProcedure schema="SERFIS" name="PROC_V_SERFIS_ESCC_FIELDS">
<refCursor name="P_RECORDSET">
<bindInfo mode="Output" />
<metadata columnOrdinal="0" columnName="COL1" providerType="Int64" allowDBNull="false" nativeDataType="Number" />
<metadata columnOrdinal="1" columnName="COL2" providerType="Date" allowDBNull="true" nativeDataType="Date" />

Azure EF Code First Migration Initializer

I am just messing with Azure, and I can't seem to get my Db to work. I am following what it says here: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/tutorials/web-site-with-sql-database/ and I updated my web.config to have this:
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />
<contexts>
<context type="DownloadThis.Models.DownloadThisDb, DownloadThisDb">
<databaseInitializer type="System.Data.Entity.MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion">
<parameters>
<parameter value="DownloadThisDb_DatabasePublish" />
</parameters>
</databaseInitializer>
</context>
</contexts>
</entityFramework>
As is shown in the example, but I keep getting this error:
Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification
starting at index 0.
I have triple checked my connectionString, so that isn't it - any ideas?
Assuming that you're publishing with the VS2012 publish wizard, I've run into the same issue. If you choose to have the publishing wizard enable code first migrations instead of manually wiring them up in your code, then you need to provide a connection string in the publish settings. Your normal connection string is not used to run the migrations, this new connection string is used for this purpose only. This is nice because you can specify an account that has elevated privileges for performing your migrations, however, your app won't run under this user context. The problem is that the wizard doesn't make the need to specify this connection string very obvious. When you don't supply this, you end up with a null migration connection string and you spend a lot of time trying to figure out what's wrong with your normal connection strings.
Let's say that your context class is named FooContext. By convention, you'll have a connection string in your web.config named FooContext. When you enable code migrations via this wizard, the wizard will create a second connection string named FooContext_DatabasePublish that will only be used for running your code first migrations.
This blog post on MSDN explains this process in some detail.
I think you're missing a . in your type string:
<databaseInitializer type="System.Data.Entity.MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion">
The red rectangle over the code makes it hard to read...
If that doest fix it, post a comment and I'll work up a sample to match yours and see if I can get it to work...
[UPDATED 2012-08-15]
OK - I think I know what's going on here... You mentioned "I updated my web.config to have this:" and showed your XML. When I ran through the tutorial, I did NOT have to enter ANY extra XML into my web.config. During the publishing process, the XML was added for me automagically by Visual Studio's deployment process and it all "just worked".
Here's your solution:
Go back to the original web.config file without these updates, and try publishing again.
For reference, here are the <entityFramework> sections from my two web.config files, first from my project, second from my hosted service (I got that by connecting to the running site via FTP and downloading it). The VS project is called 11964172 after the SO record number for this post:
local web.config file settings
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="v11.0" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
</entityFramework>
deployed web.config file settings
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="v11.0" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
<contexts>
<context type="_11963331.Models.ToDoDb, 11963331">
<databaseInitializer type="System.Data.Entity.MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion`2[[_11963331.Models.ToDoDb, 11963331], [_11963331.Migrations.Configuration, 11963331]], EntityFramework, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<parameters>
<parameter value="_11963331.Models.ToDoDb_DatabasePublish" />
</parameters>
</databaseInitializer>
</context>
</contexts>
</entityFramework>
I guess that explains why they took a picture of the web.config file changes instead of actually providing the code to type in :-)
See this question. If you leave the deployment connection string as "Remote connection string", and check the "Execute Code First Migrations" box, you will get this exception as the migration connection string, DownloadThisDb_DatabasePublish will not be defined properly. Either specify a real connection string instead of leaving the connection string box blank in the deployment wizard, or define a connection string named DownloadThisDb_DatabasePublish in your Azure site configuration.

Using XmlLogFormatter with the RollingFlatFileTraceListener in Enterprise Library

I'm trying to use the RollingFlatFileTraceListener to provide rolling logs in my app along side the XmlLogFormatter so that the logs are in an XML format, however the app no longer seems to be logging anything.
<listeners>
<clear />
<add name="Rolling Flat File Trace Listener" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners.RollingFlatFileTraceListener, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.505.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.RollingFlatFileTraceListenerData, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.505.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
fileName="C:\Inetpub\logs\rolling.log" rollFileExistsBehavior="Increment" header="~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" footer="~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" formatter="Error Formatter"
rollSizeKB="12499" maxArchivedFiles="3200" traceOutputOptions="None" timeStampPattern="yyyy-MM-dd" rollInterval="Midnight" />
</listeners>
<formatters>
<clear />
<add type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Formatters.XmlLogFormatter, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=5.0.505.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" template="Timestamp: {timestamp(local)}
Message: {message}
Category: {category}
Severity: {severity}
Title:{title}
Machine: {machine}
Extended Properties: {dictionary({key} - {value}
)}" name="Error Formatter" />
</formatters>
Since the application isn't hard faulting, I can't see any errors to diagnose, yet I know that I should see some trace logs by now.
Update:
Current progress is that I've been able to use the RollingFlatFileTraceListnerData with the TextFormatter, making use of the template to specify XML. The two items that don't work as of yet are
The file has no XML declaration
The file has no root element, instead it has many root elements
Any thoughts on how to tack that on to the start and end of the file?
The out of the box trace listeners do not support a file header or file footer concept. As you've seen, it basically just appends to the file. Even if you used the .NET Framework System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener it only writes XML fragments and not well formed XML documents.
One way to achieve what you want would be to create a separate process that modifies the archived files to be well formed after they have been rolled. The downside of that approach is that the active log file is not well formed.
If that is a concern then you will probably have to create a custom trace listener to do what you want. Instead of simply appending to the log file you could overwrite the XML document's closing tag (e.g. ) with the latest LogEntry and the closing tag.
Another interesting approach from the article Efficient Techniques for Modifying Large XML Files is to create a well formed XML document that includes the document with XML fragments. E.g.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE logfile [
<!ENTITY events
SYSTEM "XMLFile1.xml">
]>
<logfile>
&events;
</logfile>
