Errors in logfile when running OCV in CLI mode

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I have the following command string when running OCV using CLI on ADaM xpt files:

/opt/java6/bin/java -Xms256m -Xmx3072m -jar /opt/ocv/components/lib/validator-cli-2.0.1.jar -task="validate" -type="ADaM" -source="/<path>/*.xpt" -config="/<path>/ADaM 1.0.xml" -config:cdisc="2014-09-26" -config:meddra="18.1" -output:overwrite=yes -report="/<path>/report_adam_20160302-183054.xlsx" -report:type="excel" > "/<path>/ocv_log_adam_20160302-183054.log" 2>&1

The report looks totally fine. However, i get several error messages in the ocv_log_adam_20160302-183054.log file. These errors are as follows:

ERROR Null object returned for File in Appenders.

ERROR Unable to locate appender Primary for logger

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,false) call failed.

I assume these errors are all linked to the issue with the components/logs/desktop.log4j2.log. I have looked online and cannot find any solution.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Logging errors

These are just related to the application trying to log stuff to the preferred log location. if you validation report looks ok, then i would ignore these for now

You can update Apache Log4j

You can update Apache Log4j settings in the components\lib\properties folder to avoid this issue.

This should work for 2.0.1 to output log to stdout:

log4j2.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <Configuration status="WARN">
          <Appenders>
             <Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
                <PatternLayout pattern="%msg%n"/>
             </Console>
          </Appenders>
          <Loggers>
             <Logger name="com.test.Log4jSample" level="info"/>
                <Root level="debug">
                   <AppenderRef ref="STDOUT"/>
                </Root>
         </Loggers>
       </Configuration>

log4j.properties:

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout
log4j.logger.org.opencdisc=DEBUG

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.File=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.Append=false
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d |%-5p |%-30F:%4L |%m%n
