Do trace files need to be purged in Oracle 11g DB

We have the Oracle 11g database setup. I have a query as to if it is required to purge the trace files found in adump, Bdump & Cdump administration file subdirectories or there is automatic log rotation of the trace files?
I hope my query is clear that if it is required to manually purge the trace files or is there an automatic log rotation for the trace files.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

starting with 11g and ADRCI there are two Parameters which controls the purging of old log and / or trace files:
SHORTP_POLICY (default 720 hours) and LONGP_POLICY (default 8720 hours). As with the Default most traces and logs stay an entire year it might be worth changing those values like follows:
adrci> set control (SHORTP_POLICY = 168)
adrci> set control (LONGP_POLICY = 720)
you can verify the current values with
adrci> show control
Unfortunately those parameters are only valid for components managed with ADR (Automatic Diagnostic Repository). So adump or any log locations under $ORACLE_HOME are still not managed automatically.

Does listener log file need to be purged in Oracle 11g DB

We have the Oracle 11g database setup. I have a query as to if it is required to purge the listener log file in Oracle 11g database. I believe that the size of the listener log file is infinite and we need to manually purge the listener log file or is there an automatic log rotation of the listener log file?
I hope my query is clear that if it is required to manually purge the listener log file or is there an automatic log rotation for this file.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Unable to write trace files in Background dump destination in oracle 10g

Hi All,
OS version : RHEL 5.7
DB version : 10.2.0.4
cluster : 2 node RAC database
Today I faced a strange behaviour for one of our production database. Its a 2-node rac database. On the first node there is no auto generation of trace files in the BAckground dump destination. I am able to see trace files of second in its background dump dest. But the strange behaviour occurs on the first node. I see only Alert log file in the background dump dest . Inspite of getting an error which shows trace file generated but no file occurs in the bdump. The following is the error but physically there no trace file generated:
Errors in file /oracle/db/admin/<sid>/bdump/<sid>j0011558.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 94377
ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh pathCan anyone have any idea for this strange behaviour. There are no maintenance script for removal of trace files.

Store file streams into dicom object in oracle 11g (BLOB construct)

The datastream is transfered from network and stored into oracle DB as a blob , then I use the Dicom construct to build the dicom object . The problem is , before I have the blob in the DB , I have to create an empty Blob object ,I use this this empty blob and do the datastream store .
Does somebody have the idea ,how to directly store the datastream into the DB BLOB ,or can I put this BLOB as the variable in JAVA .
my program like this :
stmt.executeUpdate("insert into blob_tbl(id,my_blob) values('" + in + "',empty_blob())");
     ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select my_blob from blob_tbl where id='" + in + "' for update" );
     if(rs.next())
     Blob blob = rs.getBlob(1);
     OutputStream out = ((oracle.sql.BLOB)blob).getBinaryOutputStream();
     byte[] b = new byte[((oracle.sql.BLOB)blob).getBufferSize()];
     InputStream fin = inStream;
     int len = 0;

Need help deleting trace files

Hi,
I am new to Oracle RAC and I need to get rid of trace files since they are growing too big. I have one that is 22Gigs and I only have 60 Gigs available right now on that drive. I want to know if I can delete the file manually using the rm command.
My trace files are in: /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/.../.../trace
The file I am concerned is called: "linux1_pz99_13299.trc" and "linux1_pz99_13299.trm"
I am using Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Is that really going to work?
It is my understanding (supported by some inconclusive observations and experiments) that once a trace file grows beyond about 8 kilobytes Oracle will hang onto it in a death grip. You may delete it but Oracle will still have the file handle open and be writing to it.
If the database is running on a Windows platform then an equivalent script will not even give the illusion of deleting the file.
It used to be the case that switching trace file output to a different directory would cause Oracle to release the active trace files but now the trace directory is part of the ADR heirarchy so switching is a more global and more intrusive operation and could interfere with other diagnostics.
You may have to rely on ADRCI's "purge" command unless there is a PL/SQL equivalent.
I shall be very interested to see what others have to say.

No trace files in udump and bdump.

Dear all,
I have oracle 10g on linux.
There are no files in folder bdump and udump.What could be the reason.
Is there any parameter that need to be set.
Please advice.
Regards,
Amit.

Hello Amit,
Looks pretty strange you have all parameters set properly and you have physical directories available but you are not seeing any trace files.
Try this little test and see if oracle generates trace files.. or not.

One needs to know the meaning of the kernel functions and their working within the oracle database. I guess, oracle support can do the analysis more easily as they have access to the software code as well necessary tools to interpret these internal routines.

Listener trace file: Winsock 54 errors

I am seeing many of the following error ("soc nnn error - operation=5, ntresnt[0]=517, ntresnt[1]=54...") in my Listener trace file.
This is on an Oracle 9.2.0.4 server (Windows 2003 Server R2).
If my intepretation of the Listener trace is correct, this corresponds to Winsock Error 10054 (Connection reset by peer).
SQL*net trace files at the client side (a separate host) do not indicate a corresponding error - all the trace files appear "clean".
So what is the peer in this context? My initial thought was that the Oracle server had established a session for the client, but then the client
had appeared to disappear from the network. But I would have expected to see something in the client trace files at the same time.
This is an example from the Listener trace file.

This is of course right but TKPROF has also some limitations: for example TKPROF does not report values for bind variables but you can find them in raw trace file.

Trace file event set....need the file for the user...

hello all,
i had a question about the trace file, I was asked by one of ur manager to set events for trace file...he asked to do this...
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
alter system set events '1483 trace name errorstack, level 12' ;
i understand they go to the udump, but my question how am i suppose to know which trace file to look as there are tons of them in udump??? We actually want this for a specific schema that we are lookin for. Could anyone explain what the above are doing and how to get the trace file for it. Thanks

If you are running this from your session and want to check the file that has been created for your session,from Effective Orcle by design,this may be helpful,
select rtrim(c.value,'/') || '/' ||d.instance_name ||
'_ora_' || ltrim(to_char(a.spid)) || '.trc'
from V$process a,v$session b,v$parameter c,v$instance d
where a.add=b.paddr
and b.audsid=sys_context('userenv','sessionid')
and c.name='user_dump_dest'This would tell you the exact file that would had been created for your session.

What files need to be cleaned periodically in Oracle Apps R12 ?

Hi
In Oracle Database, periodically we clean alertlog,trace files from bdump,udump,cdump directories and at AIX OS level, /usr/tmp, /var/tmp, /root,we clean .tmp,.log files. Similarly,what files needs to cleaned from Oracle Apps R12 directories periodically to control the harddisk usage?
Any help is highly appreciated !
Thanks

Ateeq,
Please be careful when following the steps in the note referenced above especially when cleaning the $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory, otherwise your instance will not function properly. I believe purging the log files at the application/database tiers is fair enough to reclaim space and should be done on periodic basis.

Hi Dba's
I need to find out the trace file with the Request id. how can i find out it?
Thanks

There are many ways to create a trace file in the apps. Pl provide details on how you enabled trace, as that will determine where the trace file is created.Concurrent requests trace files are always created under USER_DUMP_DEST directory.
