Troubleshooting log cleanup and archival

Configuration Issues

No logs generated in the log file

Step

Possible reason(s)

Possible solution(s)

1

Issues with the CLASSPATH.

JARS mentioned in the CLASSPATH may not be present in the specified folder.

Check whether the JARS used in the CLASSPATH are present at the specified location or not.

To check for the path of the JAR files, open logs-archive-cleanup.bat or logs-archive-cleanup.sh file. Here you will find all the JARS used in the CLASSPATH. The log cleanup and archival process will fail and no log will be generated even if a single JAR file is missing from its specified location.

In such a case, contact Adeptia support.

Database issues

Common issues

Sluggish Transaction/Process Flow execution

Step	Possible reason(s)	Possible solution(s)
1	The database server is heavily loaded to handle the request, or doesn't have enough number of connections available.	You should always run log cleanup and archival process when either the server has no load or have minimum load. Also make sure that there are enough database connections available to use.

Error at runtime and failure of query execution

Step	Possible reason(s)	Possible solution(s)
1	Compatibility issues between the database driver version and database server.	You should always make sure that database driver jars should be compatible with the database server.

Database Errors

Data truncation: Out of range value for column

Step

Possible reason(s)

Possible solution(s)

1

One or more columns in log table and their corresponding columns in log archive table differ in size(s).

Alter the log archival table to correct the structure of the table in line with the log table.

It can be done by using alter query.

Oracle: No more data to read from socket

Step

Possible reason(s)

Possible solution(s)

1

Log cleanup and archival process interrupted due to Oracle database connectivity issues.

This is Oracle specific error.

Restart the server, and the log cleanup and archival process should start running successfully.

No of columns mismatch

Step

Possible reason(s)

Possible solution(s)

1

One or more columns in log table and their corresponding columns in log archive table differ in size(s).

Alter the log archival table to correct the structure of the table in line with the log table.

It can be done by using alter query.

Parameter Number 4 is not an OUT parameter

Step

Possible reason(s)

Possible solution(s)

1

Stored Procedures such as AU_SP_DELETE_ARCHIVE_LOGS, AU_SP_DELETE_LOGS, etc. are missing.

Create the missing Stored Procedures in the database.

You can find these Stored Procedure in initialize-log-msq-{dbname}.sql file. For example: initialize-log-msq-mysql.sql for MySQL.

ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo> tablespace 'UNDOTBS1'

Step

Possible reason(s)

Possible solution(s)

1

The "undo Tablespace" size is completely occupied or the size for "AU_TransactionLog" is very large.

Set the size of "undo tablespace" to auto-extend in the Database.

Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

Step

Possible reason(s)

Possible solution(s)

1

The table is locked out due to large amount of data present in it, large number of uncommitted transactions, etc.

You may encounter this error while trying to delete a bunch of records using MySQL administrator or some other DB tool.

Increase the value for innodb_lock_wait_timeout property.
