App Management Service for Sharepoint 2013 SP Desinger Workflows

I've created SP 2013 simple workflow using SP Designer 2013. I've set up my environment as described in msdn documentation. But when I'm trying to deploy the solution I'm receiving following exception:

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEndpointAddressNotFoundException: There are no addresses available for this
application.
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoundRobinServiceLoadBalancer.BeginOperation()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServiceApplicationProxyBase`1.ExecuteOnChannel(Boolean
requireDelegation, Action`1 codeBlock)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.AppManagement.AppManagementServiceApplicationProxy.GetScaleOutDatabaseMap()
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPScaleOutDatabaseMap.GetMapCacheEntries

Solution:

Just resolved.

I found following message in ULS:
"There are no instances of the App Management Service started on any server in this farm. Ensure that at
least one instance is started on an application server in the farm using the Services on Server page in
Central Administration."
I went to CA -> System Settings -> Services on server and started App Management Service. Then performed
iisreset and the workflow deployed successfully.

C# Log File Code could not create log files in the Production server(EventLogEnryType)

I did the Timer job for reading SharePoint Lists and Writing Log files in the C Drive\Test.

When I run this code in my Test Machine and UAT server. Log files has created properly in that Particular folder. But When I run in the Production server, It could not create the Files in that Folder.

Solution:

Please check you Production server environment, Is it any Web Front end server has configured?

So if it has configured then You have to create the Log Folder Structure in that Web Front end server.

Then it will create and write Log files in any server(App server or Web front end servers).
