Archive log folders in Oracle 10g

Hi everybody,
I have installed Oracle 10g on my Windows XP Pro SP3 in archivelog mode.
The archived log are saved in different folders according to the save date; for example I have a folder called 2008_06_06 which contains all the archives saved on that day and so on
I'd like to have all archive log saved by Oracle in only one folder, how can I specify this in the installation process or in the parametrs settings?
Thanks, Valerio

I'd like to have all archive log saved by Oracle in only one folder, Why? What problem does it solve? Oracle knows where those files are, how to back them up, how to restore them from backup, how to delete them when they are no longer needed. Rman will take care of all the housekeeping just fine, thank you very much.
Yes, oracle provides mechanisms for writing the archivelogs to a different directory structure and with a different file name convention. But again, to what end? What problem does it solve by doing so?
how can I specify this in the installation process or in the parametrs settings?Go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version. Locate the Reference Manual. Open it and scan the table of contents. You will find a section on initialization parms. Use your browser's search function to find parms that deal with "archive".

  • Archive log mode in oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I would like to know the archive log mode in oracle 10g and I use this code in SQLPlus
    select log_mode from v$database
    But it displayed: "2" not : NOARCHIVELOG or ARCHIVELOG
    It displayed a number, not a String.
    How could I know this?
    Thanks

    Hi Paul
    Because I am a newbie in DBA Oracle so I got many difficulties.
    You are very kind to help me.
    So I have some more questions:
    1. when I executed this code, it always reported error:
    $ tmp=`${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / as sysdba << EOF
    set heading off feedback off;
    exit
    EOF`
    tmp='ERROR:
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    SP2-0306: Invalid option.
    Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}]
    where <logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | /
    SP2-0306: Invalid option.
    Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}]
    where <logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | /
    SP2-0157: unable to CONNECT to ORACLE after 3 attempts, exiting SQL*Plus'
    so when I updated like this:
    tmp=`${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s sys/syspass@db02 as sysdba <<EOF     
                   set heading off feedback off;
                   exit
                   EOF`
    It run correctly.
    2. With Paul's guide:
    Do not execute Oracle commands from root, execute them as oracle user. This works to me :
    $ tmp=`${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s / as sysdba << EOF
    set heading off feedback off
    alter database backup controlfile to '${CONTROLFILE_DIR}/<file name>';
    alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    exit
    EOF`
    Of course CONTROLFILE_DIR must be set to a directory with write permission for oracle user.
    For ex: I have an Unix account: unix/unix
    and a Sys Oracle account: oracle/oracle
    I login with Unix acount (unix/unix) and call script file that contains above code.
    tmp=`${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus -s oracle/oracle@db02 as sysdba <<EOF     
                   set heading off feedback off
                   alter database backup controlfile to '${CONTROLFILE_DIR}/backup_control.ctl';
                   alter database backup controlfile to trace;
                   exit
                   EOF`
    Unix report as following: Linux error: 13: Permission denied.
    CONTROLFILE_DIR directory is read,write,execute for account unix/unix.
    Of course CONTROLFILE_DIR must be set to a directory with write permission for oracle user. You mean I have to create a Unix user is the same to Oracle user so that Oracle user can have permission to write.
    Please guilde more detail.
    Thanks for your attention.

  • Archive log mode in oracle 10g on windows environment

    Hi All,
    I have a production database (Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1.0) on windows 2003 server. yesterday i put the database into archivelog mode. when i query for spfile location it is shown in ORACLE_HOME\dbs location.
    but when i created pfile using the spfile it is created at ORACLE_HOME\database location. and there is another spfile also. i set the log_archive_dest at a location other than flash_recovery_area in pfile, but it is showing the DB_RECOVER_AREA.
    today i seen archives are creating in both locations.
    can a database have two spfiles. and working on them ?
    can i remove a spfile in /dbs location.
    pls. give me suggestion to rectify this
    thanks and regards.

    Hi,
    On windows platform, spfile and initfiles are by default created under ORACLE_HOME\database directory and this is also the default location, so, your spfile or initfile in this directory are actually in use.
    i set the log_archive_dest at a location other than flash_recovery_area in pfile, but it is showing the DB_RECOVER_AREA. You need to unset the "db_recovery_file_dest" parameter first.
    alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='';Now set your log_archive_dest as follows
    alter system set log_archive_dest_1="location=your_location";Don't user older "log_archive_dest" parameter
    SalmanYour assertion that "You need to unset the "db_recovery_file_dest" parameter first." is patently false.
    DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is used for more than just archivelogs. Setting LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n to a location other than USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST even while DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is set is perfectly acceptable. In fact it is required if you want to continue to use the FRA for things other than archivelogs. Things, like - oh, say - backups!

  • How to change redo log size in oracle 10g

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody confirm how to change redo log size in oracle 10g?
    Amit

    Dear Amit,
    You can enlarge the size of existing Online Redo log files, by adding new groups with different size of files (origlog$/mirrlog$) and then carefully droping the old groups with  their associated inactive files.
    Please refer SAP Note 309526 - Enlarging redo log files to perform the activity.
    Steps to perform:
    STEP-1. Analyze the exisiting situation and prepare an action plan.
    A. You have to ensure that no more than one log switch per minute occurs during peak times.
    It may also be necessary to increase the size of the online redo logs until they are large enough.
    Too many log switches lead to too many checkpoints, which in turn lead to a high writing load in the I/O subsystem.
    Use ST04 -> Additional Functions --> Display GV$-Views
    There you can select
    Gv$LOG_HISTORY --->for determing your existing LOG switching frequency.
    GV$LOG -
    > list the status(INACTIVE/CURRENT/ACTIVE) /size/sequence no. of existing online redolog files
    GV$LOGFILE  --- > list the information of existing online  redolog files with their storage paths
    You can document the existing situation of Online Redo Log Fiile management before going to enlarge Redo Log Files.
    It will be helpful, if something goes wrong while performing activities.
    B. Based on above Situation analysis, Plan your New Redo Log Group and there Members with new optimal size.
    e.g.
    Group No.         Redo Log File Locations  u201C/oracle/<SID>/u201D                  Size
                                 /origlogA                  /mirrlogA            
    15                        log_g15m1.dbf         log_g15m2.dbf               100 MB
    17                        log_g17m1.dbf            log_g17m2.dbf               100 MB
                                /origlogB                    /mirrlogB
    16                       log_g16m1.dbf          log_g16m2.dbf            100 MB
    18                       log_g18m1.dbf            log_g18m2.dbf            100 MB

  • How to archive and Purge in Oracle 10g based on data

    Hi,
    Our requirement is that based on some rules stored in static tables we want to perform Archiving, purging and compression of data in Oracle 10g.
    Can anyone guide me to proper information material for how to go about this?
    Thanks!
    Avinash.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information.
    But this traditional way of doing is archiving is for maintenance and backup operations.
    We want to have this process online, without taking db offline. In this case will this approach work?
    In our case, the rules can be like -
    1. For table 'A', if rows exceed 10Million, then start archiving of the data for that table.
    2. For table 'B', if data is older than 6 motnhs start archiving of the data for that table.
    3. Archiving should be on for 15 minutes only after that should pause, and should resume whenever user wants to resume.
    4. Archiving should start on specified days only... ETC...

  • LOG ERRORS in Oracle 10G R2

    Hi all,
    I am learning this new feature. I am having two tables
    CREATE TABLE source_tab (col1 number, col2 varchar2(5))
    CREATE TABLE taget_tab(col1 number, col2 varchar2(4))
    taget_tab.col2 length is one character less compared with source_tab.col2
    INSERT INTO source_tab VALUES (1,'AAA');
    INSERT INTO source_tab VALUES (2,'BBB');
    INSERT INTO source_tab VALUES (3,'CCCCC');
    INSERT INTO source_tab VALUES (4,'ddd');
    Now, I want to insert data from source table to target table. As data shows, source_tab.col1 with col1=3 will throw error, as its col2
    size is more than the target table, but i want to continue with the execution and log the this value(3) in log table(logtmp) by using LOG ERRORS

  • Cross Pltform Archive Log Application.

    Hi !!!
    In my organisation we have installed Oracle 10g on HP Unix & Oracle 10g on Windows 2000 Server, we are on OLTP. Now I want to get the ARCHIVE LOGS created from ORACLE 10g - HP UNIX on to ORACLE 10g - Windows 2000 Server. Can this be done, require urgent help on this.
    Thank's
    Rajeev.

    You cannot use the archivelogs of oracle onHP in oracle on Win2K.
    Are you planning to have a clone of your HP database or Win2k?
    Or
    Plannnig to use Win2K server as standby?

  • Skip archive log on logical standby

    hi ,
    I want to skip archive log from nmber 1150 to 1161 on logical standby dtbs.
    I knw , we can skip ddl , dml on logical standby .
    How can archive this ??
    (oracle 10g entreprise edition )

    Hello;
    I do not believe this is an option. The closest to this would be "applying modifications to specific tables"
    See :
    9.4.3 Using DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP to Prevent Changes to Specific Schema Objects
    Data Guard Concepts and Administration 10g Release 2 (10.2) B14239-05
    While this is not the answer you want the skip Archive would create a Gap and cause many other issues you don't want.

  • Enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g RAC db

    Hello
    What are the steps to enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g cluster database?
    It is currentrly in noarchivelog mode.
    Thank you,
    Yelena

    Hi.
    I think that this has been improved in 10g, so that we can do an exclusive mount on any database in a RAC without setting cluster_database to false. Also the parameter log_archive_start has been depreciated so the steps is simply (assuming that you by default wants to use db_recovery_file_dest to store archived redo logs)
    1) Shutdown immediate (instance 1)
    2) Startup mount
    3) Alter database archivelog
    4) Alter database open
    Repeat this sequence for all nodes in the RAC.
    And the best is to leave the log_archive_format by it's default value, to ensure that the incarnation of the database is represented in the archive log name.
    (On 10g, backupsets and archivelogs are usable beyond different reincarnation of a database, so there is a good change that S% or s% will repeat itself after an open resetlogs).
    Hopes this might help you.
    Good Luck

    Edited by: user10243788 on Apr 25, 2010 6:12 AMPointing the archive log dest (and/or the FRA) to a new location, or enlarging them, will do no good if you are not performing regular housekeeping on the archivelogs. You will just keep knocking down the same problem over and over.
    If you simply delete the archivelogs at the OS level, the database will never know about it and it will continue to think the destination is full, based on records kept in the control file.
    For regular housekeeping, you need to be doing something similar to this in rman:
    run {
      backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times tag='bkup_vlnxora1_arch';
      delete noprompt archivelog all backed up 1 times to device type disk;
    run {
    delete noprompt obsolete;
    crosscheck archivelog all;
    delete noprompt expired archivelog all;

    Hi,
    Archive log files are the copies of redolog files.As redo log files are circularly overwritten,oracle generates archive log file of the corresponding redo logfiles being overwritten.So if you have a backup that dates back to 10 am in the morning and if your database creashed at 3 pm,you cannot use the redo log files alone as they have incomplete information.To completely recover the database upto 3 pm,you need archive log files generated between 10 am to 3 pm. In your case since you are missing one archive log file,you cannot perform complete recovery and hence would suffer data loss.
