Delete audit and trace files

Is anyone aware of why we should not delete audit and trace files under the oracle admin directory that are over 30 days old? I don't know that there is anything in place to do this and they are building up. Tuldcorpadb01:/oracle is at 96%. These files aren't that big, but there are a lot of them. See counts below.
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd> cd admin
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd>find . -name \*.aud -type f -ctime +30 -ls|wc -l
25149
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd>find . -name \*.trc -type f -ctime +30 -ls|wc -
2426

Move older audit files to a different filesystem until you find someone being able to define what files can be deleted.

Useful logs and trace files

Hello experts, for our Netweaver AS administration, I am in charge of periodically checking logs and trace files. I would like to know which are the most useful logs and trace files and the information each one will hold. I am familiar with "DefaultTrace.trc", and as of today it is the only one I have used, but I believe I should also be looking at other logs and trace files.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pedro,
If you are talking about JAVA only system defaulttrace is the best log/trace to look, there are other log files like application log, but maybe the best way to check you logs is using NWA (NetWeaver Administrator) on the following URL on your JAVA system:
http://<hostname>:<port>/nwa
From there you need to go to Monitoring -> Logs and Traces and then Predefined View/SAP logs.
My other recommendation is to change the severity level to ERROR for all you JAVA component within the Visual Administrator -> ServeNode -> Services -> Log Configurator -> Locations, otherwise it is possible that you see a lot of garbage on the defaulttraces. Anyway you can change the severity level per component, on demand, to investigate any possible problem.
The work directory is very imporant and maybe you can also check the file "dev_serverX" that also will give you information about any out of memory conditions and garbage collection activity if you have these values set for the server node using the config tool:
-verbose:gc
-XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
You can find more information on here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/e9d8a51c732e42bd0e7de54b9ff4e2/content.htm
Hopefully this help you, let me know if you need more information,

Timestamp in Java log and trace files.

Hi SAP'ies
Running PI 7.11 on AIX 6.3 we face an issue with the content of log and trace files from Java.
Eg.
The file DefaultTrace_00.0.trc is timestamped 18-05-10 11:16:15. (The same time as the time of the OS/AIX)
Looking inside the file the last statement is timestamped 2010 05 18 09:16:15.
How can we ensure that the content of these Java files are timestamped with OS time?
Looking into ABAP files like dev_w0 the timestamp of the file and the content are equal.
Best regards,
Teddy Løv Andersen

Hello All
Best way to convert the default trace time is , visit the site
http://www.csgnetwork.com/epochtime.html
here enter , for example if you have the following in default trace
#1.#00265510DE7300120000000F000022030004C77AD7309DF5#1345230317066#com.sap.portal.fpn.rdl
1345230317066 is time stamp , enter this in the above site to get the time

External portal capturing internal portal URL in Log and trace file

Hi,
We are facing one issue in portal like we have two portals for internal (Intranet) and external (Internet) users.
Once users logged in the application and try to get the information about mylink from the external portal link (internet) they should not get any information about the internal portal.
But in log and trace file we can see the external portal link capturing the internal portal URL.
We need to find, from where system capturing the internal portal URL.
Thanks.

The tkproffed trace file is in seconds.
"set timing" is in hh:mi:ss.uu format. So 00:00:01.01 is 1.01 seconds.
You have to remember that most of these measurements are rounded. While your trace file says it contains one second of trace data, you know it's more.
One excellent resource for trace files is "Optimizing Oracle Performance" by Cary Millsap & Jeff Holt. (http://www.amazon.com/Optimizing-Oracle-Performance-Cary-Millsap/dp/059600527X ) I thought I knew trace files before, but this book brings your knowledge to a whole new level.
There is also an excellent WP by Cary Millsap ( http://method-r.com/downloads/doc_details/10-for-developers-making-friends-with-the-oracle-database-cary-millsap ) that gives you some insight.

How to configure logs and trace files

Please suggest how to solve this problem,how can i reduce trace and log files,,,,,any configuration or setting is there to configure this...please suggest and explain how can it be done.
Biren

Hi,
You can control what messages gets logged depending on the severity.
This can be configured using Log Configurator, check this how you can set severity to different locations.

Removing alert logs and trace files

Hi everyone!
I noticed that in all the oracle databases, the trace files are piling and alert log is growing like anything ....
Thought of making a copy of the trace files somewhere and remove them from the hard disk excluding the most recent ones.
For alert log, thought of making a copy and renaming the current file so that Oracle can create a new one.
Any advice if there are better approaches in handling this?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.I would include the alert log file in my backup strategy as it includes many important information; database parameter values,when and how the database was shut down, the important database errors and when they occur , etc ... I usually backup the alert log file once a month and keep 1 year of alert log file copies..

How to read files from current directory for applet

I have an applet that needs to read some audio files located in its current directory on the server and I just can't seem to figure it out...maybe I am being dumb...any help?

You can use the ListSorter File Adapter Configuration property to sort based on timestamp. Basically add the following property to the inbound JCA file:
<property name="ListSorter"
value="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.listing.TimestampSorterAscending"/>
<property name="SingleThreadModel" value="true"/>
More info see section 4.2.6 in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm

E-mailing report attempts to write temp file in current directory

When e-mailing a report from the previewer, Reports 6.0 attempts to write a temporary file in the current NT directory. This file is the actual e-mail attachment, in this case a PDF file.
Unfortunately the current directory is where the application resides, and therefore users do not have write permission. Is there any way to re-direct where the temporary file is created (i.e. a local drive or the Windows temp directory)?
Thanks in advance.

change your registry key entry which says
REPORTS60_TMP to which ever dir you want

Alert log and Trace file error

Just found this in one of our alertlog file
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 199023
checkpoint not complete
and this in trace file:
RECO.TRC file
ERROR, tran=7.93.23662, session# =1, ose=60:
ORA-12535: TNS: operation timed out

Why would you increase the log files when the problem is a distributed transaction timed out?
Distributed transactions time out when the data they need to access is locked. Unlike a local session that wants to update a row, which will wait forever, a distributed transaction times out. In earlier versions of Oracle you could set init.ora parameter distributed_lock_timeout to manage the timeout period. Oracle has since made this into an underbar parameter.
The solution is to ignore the problem unless it appears regularly in which case you have an application design issue.

Agent10g: Size of Management Agent Log and Trace Files get oversize ...

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I had installed the EM Agent10g (v10.2.0.4) on each of all my Oracle servers. I've done a long time ago (a few months or a few years depending on wich server it was installed). Recently, I've got PERL error because the "trace" file of the Agent was too big (the emagent.trc was more than 1 Gb) !!!
I don't know why. I checked on a particular server on the AGENT_HOME\sysman\config (Windows) for the emd.properties file.
The following properties are specified in the emd.properties file:
LogFileMaxSize=4096
LogFileMaxRolls=4
TrcFileMaxSize=4096
TrcFileMaxRolls=4
This file had never been modified (those properties correspond to the default value). It's the same situation for all Agent10g (setup) on all of the Oracle Server.
Any idea ?
NOTE: The Agent is stopped and started weekly ...
Thank's
Yves

Why don't you truncate the trace file weekly. You can also delete the file. The file will be created automatically whenever there is a trace.

Delete log and temp files

Hi. i want to delete files in folders
appltmp and logs, because they both are using 4GB in my HDD.
is it posible to delete the files into those folders.??
thaks

My comment wasn't directed at you 909592, but to the OP :)
This question comes up quite a bit here, I just thought it was funny how the question was if it was "possible", not if it "should" be done :)
Here is a thread that covers it pretty well:
Can i delete files under $APPLTMP folder in EBS R12.0.4?
