Automatic archiving of db2diag.log

Good Morning everyone,
I have a question regarding the db2diag.log. After a couple of month this logfile could increase dramatically. In order to make root cause analysis easier I would like to archive the file every month and clean it up to get a better overview in it.
Is there a possibility do to this via DB2 (Alertlog archiving) or should I realize this with a planned Batchjob every month.
Greetings
Marco

Hello Marco,
You can archive the db2diag.log using the db2diag tool. You can specify the -A or -archive <dirname> option:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0011728.html
-A | -archive dirName
Archives a diagnostic log file. When this option is specified, all other options are ignored. If one or more file names are specified, each file is processed individually. A timestamp, in the format YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.ss, is appended to the file name.
You can specify the name of the file and directory where it is to be archived. If the directory is not specified, the file is archived in the directory where the file is located and the directory name is extracted from the file name.
If you specify a directory but no file name, the current directory is searched for the db2diag.log file. If found, the file will be archived in the specified directory. If the file is not found, the directory specified by the DIAGPATH configuration parameter is searched for the db2diag.log file. If found, it is archived in the directory specified.
If you do not specify a file or a directory, the current directory is searched for the db2diag.log file. If found, it is archived in the current directory. If the file is not found, the directory specified by the DIAGPATH configuration parameter is searched for the db2diag.log file. If found, it is archived in the directory specified by the DIAGPATH configuration parameter.

"Database log mode" & "Automatic archival"

I was asked to do the below
"Database log mode" should be set to
"No Archive Mode" now.
Do not mix up "Database log mode" with
"Automatic archival".
Can you please tell me how to "disable databse log mode", with Automatic Archival enabled.
Regards,
Susan

From documentation:
ARCHIVELOG mode
The mode of the database in which Oracle copies filled online redo logs to disk. Specify the mode at database creation or by using the ALTER DATABASE statement. You can enable automatic archiving either dynamically using the ALTER SYSTEM statement or by setting the initialization parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_START to TRUE.
Running the database in ARCHIVELOG mode has several advantages over NOARCHIVELOG mode. You can:
* Back up the database while it is open and being accessed by users.
* Recover the database to any desired point in time.
To protect the ARCHIVELOG mode database in case of failure, back up the archived logs.
Configuring ARCHIVELOG Mode For the Database<a>
 
Or you can check this tutorial from Oracle:
Disabling Automatic Archiving
 
 
Or something like this: 
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
shutdown
startup mount exclusive
alter database noarchivelog
alter database open
 
And I don't know if it's needed to have automatic archival enabled since the database will not be in archive mode.

Automatic archive log

I am learning Oracle on 9i, try to set database as automatic archive log but always failed. pls help.
Thanks

Current log sequence 14 I think you're close to getting it working, you have all of the init.ora parameters set. If you do the following in SQL Plus it should work:
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
STARTUP MOUNT <SID> EXCLUSIVE
ALTER DATABASE <SID> ARCHIVELOG
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
STARTUP
Then run ARCHIVE LOG LIST to verify it worked.

Fast growing db2diag.log (FP4 V9.5)

Does anyone have experiences with V9.5 FP4SAP?
We have implemented this FP4 last week (from FP2a). Since this a db2diag.log of about 1MB were written (and the system usage is really low).
We have another system on FP2a which is used heavier (as a productive system) and the db2diag.log is about 2,5 MB within two months.
We have checked SAP note 1086130 for DB parameters and did not find a required change (from FP2a to FP4).
Any idea is welcome!
Best regards.

How do I manually archive 1 redo log at a time?

The database is configured in archive mode, but automatic archiving is turned off.
For both Oracle 901 and 920 on Windows, when I try to manually archive a single redo log, the database
archives as many logs as it can up to the log just before the current log:
For example:
SQL> select * from v$log order by sequence#;
GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
1 1 14 104857600 1 NO INACTIVE 424246 19-JAN-05
2 1 15 104857600 1 NO INACTIVE 425087 28-MAR-05
3 1 16 104857600 1 NO INACTIVE 425088 28-MAR-05
4 1 17 512000 1 NO INACTIVE 425092 28-MAR-05
5 1 18 512000 1 NO INACTIVE 425100 28-MAR-05
6 1 19 512000 1 NO CURRENT 425102 28-MAR-05
6 rows selected.
SQL> alter system archive log next;
System altered.
SQL> select * from v$log order by sequence#;
GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
1 1 14 104857600 1 YES INACTIVE 424246 19-JAN-05
2 1 15 104857600 1 YES INACTIVE 425087 28-MAR-05
3 1 16 104857600 1 YES INACTIVE 425088 28-MAR-05
4 1 17 512000 1 YES INACTIVE 425092 28-MAR-05
5 1 18 512000 1 NO INACTIVE 425100 28-MAR-05
6 1 19 512000 1 NO CURRENT 425102 28-MAR-05
See - instead of only 1 log being archive, 4 of them were. Oracle behaves the same way if I use the "sequence" option:
SQL> select * from v$log order by sequence#;
GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
1 1 14 104857600 1 NO INACTIVE 424246 19-JAN-05

6 1 19 512000 1 NO CURRENT 425102 28-MAR-05
6 rows selected.

Is there some default system configuration property telling Oracle to archive as many logs as it can?
Thanks,

Thanks Yoann (and Syed Jaffar Jaffar Hussain too),
but I don't have a problem finding the group to archive or executing the alter system archive log command.
My problem is that Oracle doesn't work as I expect it.
This comes from the Oracle 9.2 online doc:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_23a.htm#2053642
"Specify SEQUENCE to manually archive the online redo log file group identified by the log sequence number integer in the specified thread."
This implies that Oracle will only archive the log group identified by the log sequence number I specify in the alter system archive log sequence statement. However, Oracle is archiving almost all of the log groups (see my first post for an example).
This appears to be a bug, unless there is some other system parameter that is configured (by default) to allow Oracle to archive as many log groups as possible.
As to the reason why - it is an application requirement. The Oracle db must be in archive mode, automatic archiving must be disabled and the application must control online redo log archiving.

Why it automatically recover current redo log in RMAN command window?

Firstly, I restore controlfile and datafiles from a backupset.
Then when I recover database in RMAN command window like below:

It looks like the archives are not written, or I can not find them. I check $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/arch and /data/MVS_P0/reco01 but it is not there. It worked before, but the person who configured it is on holiday. I know that I did 'something' that created archives (check the last three lines above), but that is somehow not working anymore.
Can someone help me by finding the archives?
(I need to make a online copy to create a standby-database, that is quite hard without archives. ;-))

Hi every one,
I am running an Oracle 8i database, which is in archive log mode.
On Friday I got an error message being displayed in the command prompt and it displayed the following message;
Warning - The following error occured during ORACLE redo log archival:

Today when i came in the morning I realized that automatic archival of the database had been turned off and I came to realize that the database had stopped performing archival on Friday.
What can I do to come out this situation because this is a production database. I don't want to shutdown because many users are connected.

Snip<<<<<<<Today when i came in the morning I realized that

What can I do to come out this situation because this
is a production database. I don't want to shutdown
because many users are connected.Try to do manual archiving like
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL;
The you still have to set log_archive_start to TRUE on your spfile then restart when you have a chance . Its just a pain to keep doing this through the day so you may want to schedule this until you can restart. Hopefully the missed parameter is the only problem why the redo logs can not be written and not any file permissions.

AUTOMATIC ARCHIVING

I have the automatic archiving enabled for my database by changing the initialization parameters and 'ARCHIVE LOG LIST 'command confirms this.However,no archive files are generated (even after days of operation)until I issue 'ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOG FILE' command manually.Is is because the redo log files are not rotated for a full cycle?What is the frequency at which archiving takes place for a database of medium size?Is there any specific issue I need to look at? Please advise

However,no archive files are generated (even after days of operation)
r.- Perhaps , your database has not had enough transactions to cause a switch.
What is the frequency at which archiving takes place for a database of medium size?
r.- The recommended frequency is between 20min and 2hours.
Is there any specific issue I need to look at?
r.- If you want to see the frequency of switchs in your database you have to check that information in the alert file.

Does a normal view write to any log i.e archive or undo log

Hi ,
can i check if a normal view writes to the archive or undo log ?
e.g
select a.* , b.* from A , B
tks & rdgs

SELECT statements, including those that are selecting views, aren't making any data changes, so there would be no reason to generate UNDO or REDO log entries. There would be nothing to undo or to redo.

How can I stop Mail from automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing email?

Mail is automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing message, and then synch'ing that with my iPhone -- thus sucking up all available memory. I have never asked it to automatically archive everything, and can't figure out how to stop it. Any ideas?

Launch Mail.
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced
Uncheck the box beside "Include when automatically checking for new messages".
Do it for all accounts if you want.
Best.

Disable Outlook Integration-Automatic Archival Feature

Greetings,
I'm trying to find a way to disable Adobe X Standard/Professional's feature of Automatic Archival of e-mail in Outlook 2010.
We have a no-archiving policy in our organization, and this feature permits users to very easily circumvent the policy (and locking outlook from making its own archive)
I don't want to disable the entire Outlook toolbar (I've done this, and while it will work, it removes other adobe features in outlook that I would like to retain.)
I have already looked in the Adobe Configuration Tool, and the AIM for Acrobat, and unfortunately, i cannot find reference to this feature and how to disable it/remove it from the toolbar.

I'll clarify.
The Adobe Customization Wizard X doesn't reveal any way to disable this part of the add-in installs (in my case Adobe X Standard)
The feature also isn't listed in the Preferences Reference (AIM) available at:
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/46432650/AIM.air
Here's a pic of the ribbon, and the button that I need to disable when deploying Acrobat X Standard to my users.
(in some way other than simply removing it from the ribbon manually, user by user).

Also the diskspace is almost 97%.
Can anyone let me know whether archival of redo log files is causing the issue here?
If so if i stop the archival of logs ,will it solve the problem?
Can anyone help me on this?

Outlook: How to update folders in automatic archive function

When using the automatic archive function (pdf maker, single portfolio of emails) in Outlook 2010 we have the following problem:
Once set the email folders and subfolder structure of our archive remains at the status of its first setting. This means every time we rerun the archive function NEW folders/ subfolders (added after initial setup) will NOT be included!
Is there any way to automatically update the subfolder structure (e.g. below a main project folder) every time we rerun the archive function???
Otherwise this function is totally useless as any change in our Outlook folder structure is not reflected in the archiving functions, which means NEW folder and their contents are not archived!
We have like 20 projects with different archive paths we now have to archive manually each time we backup.
Thank you for your help!

How to automatically clear the compiler log

Does anyone know how to automatically clear the compiler log window immediately prior to compilation? "Upon compilation" might be a better way to say it.
I couldn't find any preference settings that would enable this functionality.
I'm using SQL Developer version 2.1.0.63.73, which I believe is the lastest version.
Edited by: user1983440 on Feb 11, 2010 1:21 PM

An automatic clearing of the compiler log is not available. This would be a good enhancement request to add to the Exchange: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:16:3459578745962796
