How to purge audit tables in 11.2.01

Hi there,
Navigation within OWB both Deisgn Center, Control Center and repository browser is far slower than other development tools on my PC.
Is there a way to purge the OWB audit data such that at least deploying mappings, checking repositiory browser may be quicker.
Many Thanks

Here are some options that you can try
+Increase the Java heap memory
1. Edit the owb.conf file located in the ORACLE_HOME/owb/bin directory.
2. Modify the value in the line "AddVMOption -Xmx768M" to increase the Heap Memory for Java, based on your physical memory.
3. Restart the Design Center and re-try the MDL import.
You can set higher value like 1024, the maximum value that you can set depends on your RAM memory, It should be less than your RAM memory
+Optimize Repository
In the Design center Go to 'Tool' menu and select 'Optiize Repository'
+If the issue is with underlying network or with the databse you may need check with your respective Admins
+For the control center performance issue you can consider applying the cumulative patch 10270220, but i suggest to check with Oracle support before
applying the patch

How to Generate Audit table entries for user navigation in ADF application?

Hi all,
I have a requirement that I need to have audit table entries for each user action in my application. Along with entries for user actions like insertion,deletion and updation I also need to have entries in the audit log even when a user simply navigates to or views any page.
Although I was successful in creating the entries for user actions like insertion,deletion and updation I failed to do so for simple user navigation through the pages.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,

How to maintain previous and record count in audit table in SQL Server 2008 r2?

Hi Experts ,
Situation :
in our database we are having few of stored procedures which will drop and recreates the tables and it is scheduled on weekly basis. when this job will run all the stored procedures will drop all the tables and recreate. Now we need to create one table which
will maintain history of the records.
my table structure is listed below
TableName CurrentReocrdCount CurrentExecutionDate PreviousReordCount PreviousExurtiondate
TEST 1000 2014-03-30 NULL NULL
Test 1500 2014-04-10 1000 2014-03-30
Test 2000 2014-04-11 1500 2014-04-10
How do i achive this .
franklinsentil

You need to create audit tables for these. The table will be populated by COUNT value inside stored procedure. Each time it clears the main table and fills new data and also logs count details to audit tables. You can use COUNT(*) to get count value
and GETDATE function to get current execution value.
So proc will look like
CREATE PROC procname
@param....
AS
--step to drop existing table
IF OBJECT_ID('tablename') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE <table name>
--step to fill new table
SELECT ...
INTO TableName
FROM
--Audit table fill step
INSERT AuditTable (TableName,CurrentRecordCount,CurrentExecdate,PrevRecordCount,PrevExecDate)
SELECT TOP 1 'TableName',(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tableName),GETDATE(),CurrentRecordCount,CurrentExecDate
FROM AuditTable
ORDER BY CurrentExecDate DESC
UNION ALL
SELECT 'TableName',(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tableName),NULL,NULL
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM AuditTable)
GO

How to purge 13 million data from a table?

Hi,
I have a table which is 10GB in size and it has 1.6 crore rows.
Based on some conditions i want to remove the data.
Since there are other processes which happen simultaneously,i am scared to even query and get the dataset which i require.
can u suggest me something..
The table has 2 XML columns so that scares me even more :)
First approach whcih i tahught of is (which is normally practised for purging)
create a copy of the table which has got data that needs to be retained.
Secondly,purge this table
third,rename the table to original.
What my concern is that if i query this 2.6 crore data to get the desired result set..it will take a lot of time and will also hamper other processing.
So...what appreaoch should i take??
Also ,do u feel that this will require downtime.
I am using oralce 11g

Moreover, If you are asking for Help on Forums, you should provide sufficient information so that Volunteers would not have to Google out the Terms used in your question. You are definitely harming yourself in a way.
Now, focusing on your original problem, if you can query out the Table and let us know how many records you wish to retain or delete, people are more than willing to help you out on it. RP and others have already provided you a short solution.

How to Query the Audit Tables

Our Production system is suffering performance issues which we attribute to the large volume of records in the audit tables. We want to implement an archival solution to alleviate this, which would involve transferring older audit records to a separate database. To achieve this, we need to write SQL queries against the <app>DATAAUDIT and <app>TASKAUDIT tables in the HFM database. We are aware that we need to join other tables to see descriptions, e.g. <app>SCENARIODESC. We have also deduced the translation of Activity Codes from "HFMAuditExtractSchemaDefs.xml", which accompanies the HFM Audit Extract Utility.
Unfortunately, there are some things which we do not know how to translate:
1) Period (lPeriod) on the <app>DATAAUDIT table, e.g. 67108869 but need to show "Jun" etc.
2) User (ActivityUserId) on the <app>TASKAUDIT table, e.g. -329543984
3) Module (strModuleName) on the <app>TASKAUDIT table, e.g. #@RID@#19
Can anyone advise how we should translate these pieces of data in order to give similar results to those seen on the Data Audit and Task Audit screens in Workspace?

1.) Period - I'm not sure where this is coming from, but I'm pretty confident it is not sitting in the database which I find odd. I want to find this as well, but haven't had any free time to search around, sorry.
2.) User - This one I can help you with.
--Get Task Item Data by Hour for a given day by user
select datepart(HOUR, cast(endtime-2 as smalldatetime)), count(activitycode) from <APP_NAME>_task_audit where activitycode in (1,4,6,8,9,12,14,15,16,21,23,44) and cast(endtime-2 as smalldatetime) between '2011-12-7 00:00:00' and '2011-12-7 23:59:59' and ActivityUserID in (select lUserID from HSV_ACTIVITY_USERS where sUserName = '<USER_NAME>') group by datepart(HOUR, cast(endtime-2 as smalldatetime))In the sample SQL Query above, I am looking for all of the task audit activity (for the specified tasks) for a specific user by hour. The part of the query you want to focus on is
and ActivityUserID in (select lUserID from HSV_ACTIVITY_USERS where sUserName = '<USER_NAME>')The ActivityUserID in the task audit table will match up to the lUserID field in the HSV_ACTIVITY_USERS table. sUserName will be the actual text username. Depending on how you are configured, the name may look like johndoe or johndoe@Native Directory or johndoe@AD, etc. If you query that table, you'll figure it out pretty quickly.
3.) Module ID. I can only partially assist on this one.
This is not also in the HFM database. I suspected it might be floating in workspace; however, can't really find it there either.
I can tell you a couple things though....
#@RID@# Is just a placeholder for Resource ID. The important part is the number behind it. If you do a search on your folders for @RID@, you'll get one hit where it is defined as a constant, but that is it. (I was hoping a file search would reveal a table of the ID's; however, I wasn't that lucky). There is probably a table of values that correspone somewhere, but I haven't found it.
If you do a distinct select, you'll see there's not too many ...
select distinct strmodulename from <APP_NAME>_task_audit#@RID@#10
#@RID@#13
#@RID@#14
#@RID@#16
#@RID@#18
#@RID@#23
#@RID@#30
#@RID@#32
#@RID@#4294967295
#@RID@#45
#@RID@#46
#@RID@#49
#@RID@#52
#@RID@#58
#@RID@#59
#@RID@#65
#@RID@#66
#@RID@#67
#@RID@#68
#@RID@#69
#@RID@#7
#@RID@#9
HyperionReports
How can you determine these values?
The quick and dirty way would be to run a Task Audit Extract for a given date range as this will reveal the Module Name.
Then execute a SQL Query on the Task Audit Table for the same data range. You could then match up the records and deduce the values.
--Get Task Items by Date Range
select (select sUserName from HSV_ACTIVITY_USERS where lUserID = ActivityUserID) as UserName, ActivityCode, ServerName, AppName, cast(StartTime-2 as smalldatetime), cast(EndTime-2 as smalldatetime), strDescription, strModuleName from <APP_NAME>_task_audit where cast(endtime-2 as smalldatetime) between '2011-12-7 00:00:00' and '2011-12-7 23:59:59' order by endtime ascOnce you determine the values, I would create a table in your database to hold them so that you could use them in future queries. I would also recommend you do the same with the activitycodes.

How to populate SQL Text in auditing table?

Hi,
Only modifying the 'AUDIT_TRAIL' .ora parameter is enough to popoulate SQL text?
Plz reply,if you have any concerns.
Thanks,

Hi,
>>I gone through few documents to enable SQL_TEXT in audit table,it says Changing the . ora parameter to 'DB_EXTENDED' is enough to populate SQL text.
That's right. The exact SQL statement executed by the user and the bind variables used with the SQL are collected in the audit trail when the initialization parameter AUDIT_TRAIL is set to DB_EXTENDED. The DB or TRUE value will not populate the SQLTEXT and SQLBIND columns of the AUD$ table.

Why should we Purge Audit data?

Hi
I have read several threads about purging audit details like the one below

Hi,
not exactly - you have the same problems in deployment (the control center must also select they right records in growing tables to examine if the deployment was ok) and execution (the package must get the right records of status and bad records).
But the main problem I have (on my experience) is with the performance of the audit browser.

How to purge the workflow which is in process

Hi Friends,
I am facing one problem in the AME Workflow.
when a user submit a page for approval process, workflow engine invokes . and in the hr_api_transcations table transacation id is created for that workflow transacation. now the problem is, if i purge that workflow process using concurrent program 'PURGE OBSELETE WORKFLOW RUNTIME DATA' . it is deleting the workflow. but when i see the hr_api_transacation table still the transacation id for that workflow is active.
Example :-
when i see through through the responsibility (workflow administrator web applications)=>Administrator workflow=>Status monitor
when i type the item key say some x and search for the workflow status i cant see the workflow status. i can see it is deleted.
but when i type the same item key in the hr_api_transacation
like :- select * from hr_api_transactions where item_key='X' i can see the status of this transacation is active and workflow is in pending.
can anyone explain me why system is behaving like.. how to stop the workflow process and how to delete the transacation id from the table.
Thanks in advance

How to Track the table using Trigger or any other Object

Hi Folks
I need to audit Inserts, deletions, updates to inserted into other tracking table. I was planning on using a trigger to do this,
Can you please help me how can I wright code for trigger for this. or else using any other object we can do this operation.
can you please help me thanks in advance.
Thank in advance.

Also you can use an OUTPUT clause ( need to modify your DML operations)
create table itest ( i int identity not null primary key, j int not null unique )
create table #new ( i int not null, j int not null)
insert into itest (j)
output inserted.i, inserted.j into #new
select o.object_id from sys.objects as o
select * from #new
drop table #new, itest;
go
The example below shows code that uses OUTPUT clause in UPDATE and DELETE statements to insert rows into an audit table.
create table t ( i int not null );
create table t_audit ( old_i int not null, new_i int null );
insert into t (i) values( 1 );
insert into t (i) values( 2 );
update t
set i = i + 1
output deleted.i, inserted.i into t_audit
where i = 1;
delete from t
output deleted.i, NULL into t_audit
where i = 2;
select * from t;
select * from t_audit;
drop table t, t_audit;
go

Trigger problem -- can't insert the same data into audit table

Sir/Madam,
I'm trying to use insert trigger with a 'long raw' datatype data for my audit purpose. Each time, the data of original table can be inserted correctly. While the trigger for audit table in which it contains almost the same data as original would failed. The error messages are some thing like following:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
ORA-06512: at "CORPSEC.TI_ARCHIVE_PDF", line 9
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'CORPSEC.TI_ARCHIVE_PDF'
If the column with 'long raw' datatype is taken out, then there is no error at all. I'm using Oracle 8i 8.1.6 for Windows NT and suspect there is bug in PL/SQL execution.
The following are SQL text for the trigger:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "CORPSEC"."TI_ARCHIVE_PDF" AFTER INSERT ON "ARCHIVE_PDF" FOR EACH ROW DECLARE
LOG_SEQ_NO NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT AUDIT_SEQ.NEXTVAL INTO LOG_SEQ_NO FROM DUAL
insert into ad_archive_pdf (DOC_TITLE,PDF_FILENAME,CONTENT,DOC_DESC,AUDIT_REF_NO,AUDIT_DATE,AUDIT_MODE,AUDIT_BY)
values (:new.DOC_TITLE,:new.PDF_FILENAME,:new.CONTENT,:new.DOC_DESC,LOG_SEQ_NO,sysdate,'I',:new.created_by);
END;
Any help on this. Thank in advance.
Best regards,
Ruijie

/For "Insert" and "Delete" as i need to capture all the elements my code would be ok.
But for "update" how can i capture only the columns that got changed? and put it in the audit table
so next time if i go to the audit table i can clearly see that these elements got changes.
Is there any better way to do this?
Please let me know
Thanks

Yeah for tracking OLD and NEW values you have to write a trigger.
Your trigger code seems fine except a few quirks.
You audit_table should contain two fields against each column of the main table. e.g. for first_name column in main_table there should be two fields old_firstname and new_firstname in the audit_table.
And then each section of trigger (inserting, updating, deleting) insert both :OLD and :NEW values to the table. In case of INSERT there will be no :OLD values so just insert NULL and in case of DELETE there will be no :NEW values so insert NULL. But in case of UPDATE its important to track both :NEW and :OLD.
and if you track both NEW and OLD values in the trigger and put them in the audit_table then you no longer need to identify which columns are changed. You can figure that later on when you query the audit_table, any fields where OLD and NEW values are same was not updated.
If you still want to check which column was changed in the trigger, refer to Himanshu Kandpal's post above.
And you probably don't need this code in the trigger:
      if inserting then
         ljn_action := 'INS';
      elsif updating then
         ljn_action := 'UPD';
      else
         ljn_action := 'DEL';
      end if;You can Just use the values 'DEL','INS' and 'UPD' where appropriate instead of the ljn_action variable.
