Atomikos Forum

Hello,

i'm working on a batch (with spring-batch) which was coded by an ex-coworker.
I discovered Atomikos by finding it in the code, so i'm totally new at it.


JTA properties are set in Java code, and it seems to work just fine (directory & file name are OK).

My main (and only) problem is that all the logging is not readable (i use notepad++).
Transaction log and Console log are alike : full of unreadable character..

I'm using com.atomikos.transactions-jdbc in version          3.9.3 and logback is used in the batch.

Log are fine in the logback file, but not in transaction & console file.

At this point, i don't know if it make sense to have both logger (logback + transaction log) ?
Do i have the same info in both or Transaction Log give extra info ?


If you have any suggestion i would appreciate.

Hi,

The transaction logfile (suffix: .log) is binary data for recovery, not meant to be read by humans at this point.

Other than that, I don't understand why the "console" data would be different from logback file contents. Can you post a few concrete file names?

Thanks

Hi Guy Pardon,

Thank you for your response.

I have disabled the transaction & console log, and now i have only logback, which seems fine to me.

Beside my logback file, before i disabled it, i got 3 others files :

192.168.x.x.tm0.epoch
tmlog.lck
tmlog0.log

My guess is that none of those file are "console" log, but since i have my logback log file, i should have all i need.

Thank you.

You definitely need the .epoch and .log file or you are not doing recovery.

The recovery is only need when some big crash occur right ?
But, how does the recovery work (i mean : how i use it) ?

i don't know, and nobody at my work know Atomikos.
So i think we will just not doing any recovery.

The data will not be lost since we use this to copy data from a database to another place for archive purpose.

Hi,

If you are transferring data then you probably need recovery unless you don't want the archiving to receive all data.

I don't want to abuse the forums for commercial talk but if you don't have anybody in-house who can help then you can always consider a commercial support subscription to get your situation sorted out...
