Thank YouThis question is more from Unix rather than Oracle.
If you are using 11g, then why cant you go for using ADRCI utility, it can manage and trim the trace files

From unix, check links from google, sample is below.

Cant reclaim free space from deleted trace file in bdump

Hi ,
Os : IBM aix 5.3
Oracle : oracle 10.2.0.3 enterprise edition
My /oracle space is only 2gb remaining .
i deleted more 2gb trace files from bdump folder but when i check on os for free space its still showing that only 2gb is remaining for /oracle
plz help me guys................

Hi,
You need to kill the OS PID's accessing the dump directory FS to get space released ..Refer below, how it can be done

Can delete trace files in bdump

Hi all,
i have lot of trace file is user dump directory i deleted all trace file.but i have confusion that whether to delete background trace files which are being generated by backgroung process in bdump directory.please any one suggest me what should i do. i know these kind of files ar only daignostic file.thanks alot in advance.

Hi,
What I usually do is scheduling a process that deletes old files (let's say older than 1 week or so).
As you said, this is for diagnostic only, and we usually don't need old files.
Decide how much time you want to keep, and delete older files (make sure to delete only .trc files, you should keep .log files more).

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.

Can I delete trace files

Hi All
Some time back I enabled "ALTER SYSTEM SET trace_enabled = TRUE,ALTER SESSION SET sql_trace = TRUE". So now I am not able to connect to the database. It is giving no space left error. So I suspect it is because of huge number of log files. Can I delete all *.trm and *.trc files or some are impotent. I am new to the Database.
Thanks,
Venkat.

yes you can delete old files .Do not delete the recent files.

Logrotate and open trace files

On our racs we see a lot of open (lsof) trace files in our dump directories. We've been using logrotate with cumpersome pre/post rotate code to rotate the files, with the code supposedly filtering out open files, but we still run into issue and are going to revisit this code soon.
I'm wondering if anybody has found a clean way to rotate and delete trace files without accidently deleting open files?

Hollis, let's set expectations first.
Digital Editions runs on your computer, not your ereader. What it does is
interface between the publisher or distributor and you, by taking files
from them, reformatting them into readable documents in some cases (in
others, checking and maintaining digital rights), and transferring those
files (now in .epub format) to your computer. It keeps a library of these
epubs and manages it for you. You have to have Digital Editions or some
other similar program on your computer if you intent to obtain ebooks from
various sources. If you're satisfied with Barnes and Noble and the ebooks
they have, then you can link up with them via the Nook's wireless features
or through your computer and download ebooks directly to it that way.
You do not load Digital Editions or any similar program onto your Nook.
Next, at least a couple of people have told you how to the download. Arpit
Kapoor works for Adobe. His reply tells you how to download Digital
Editions and get it installed onto your computer. So my question to is do
you understand what he's saying?
If you have a problem with the download, then tell us in a bit more detail
what your computer is and what it's running (Windows or Mac). There are
some issues that others have had which relate to Win7, but your post isn't
clear enough to tell us whether you're encountering those issues.

Deleting all files in the Unix directory

I was trying to create a DB in Unix. I had to remove all the files in the udump directory and I saw that there were files in thousands. I was trying to find a command to remove all of them to make the directory empty, so that I could create the udump file for Database creation. However, I couldn't find a command to remove all of them at once. I tried to google but evey website speaks about just these commands..
rm filename
or
rm -r * directory_name
This doesn't solve my problem as these commands are deleting one file at a time and not all the files at once within the directory. Can someone tell me the solution?

Hi,
First go to the directory where you want to delete all the files and folders. then
rm -fr directory_name
rm -r is not neccessary that it will delete the files and folder.
thx

Deleting default trace file in java

Hello all,
Whats the best way to automatically delete default trace file in java instance? I want to delete these files lets say every week or 2 wkkds,Is there any type of configuration that can be done through NWA or OS...? or do i have to write some scripts? Please advice.

Perfect.
When set to 10, 0 -->9 are cyclic files. Regarding archiving, yes this is possible. Apart from defaulttrace files you can also archive other java log files (system, network,security etc). The configuration procedure is explained :-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/2edfd5bd3e0d4a81b90325fe195a70/frameset.htm
Once the 10th trace file(i.e.defaultrace9) is full, all the trace files (from defaulttrace0-defaultrace9) are zipped to a single file. The file compression ratio is extremely good.
Unfortunately there is no automated mechanism to clear off the archived files. This needs manual intervention(regular cleanup, script etc).
The archived log files may also be viewed for analysis from NWA.
While estimating the size for each defaulttrace consider three factors i) System load ii) Number of defaulttrace files.
iii) Retention days(without archiving)
Ex: System load as observed :
Say the trace file size is 10MB and 6 trace files get written in 4 hours of peak time and 1 trace files is written for 4 hours during non-peak time .Assuming 8 hours of peak business hours and rest all non-working hours.
No of files generated is 62 + 14 = 16 files of 10 MB each are generated per week day
If the defaulttrace file count is set to 16, you can retain one days' logs . Say you wish to retain the same with less number of files (i.e. 8) you would have to increase the file size to 20 MB. Also will have to look at file system space availability.
CAUTION: For a file system occupancy estimate, you will have to also consider as to how many Server nodes are
configured as each node has its own log area !
For this you need to observe the pattern as to how many files are being written then estimate the size and count
cheers !

Finding Trace File in Unix

Hi,
I am trying to log in, with the user name and password... I am not able to log in to server...
Main issue is the database is not created as per standard path... I want to find the trace files in unix... How it is possible..
Thanks and Regards..

If you are able to login to database then check what is the value for these parameters where the trace file is created (user_dump_dest, background_dump_dest, db_recovery_file_dest)
Also use the unix 'find' command to search for the alert log file and .trc files.

Automatic deletion of old archive files and trace files

I've got a database that must run 24x7 without being monitored by a DBA.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete and uncatalog old archive files?
2. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete old trace files located in udump and bdump?
Thanks in advance

1. When you say 'uncatalog old archives do you mean that your database is backed up using RMAN and a catalog? If this is the case then RMAN can delete the backed up archives for you. Just add 'delete input' to the end of the 'backup archive log...' line in your backup script.
2. Oracle can't delete the trace files. Best way is to write a script that delete all files older than X days and schedule it to run every night.

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.

Delete TREX Trace Files and Turn TREX Off

Hi ,
We have massive amounts of TREX trace files that are taking up all of the memory. How do I delete these files? How do I know what files to delete? Also we are not using TREX in our BI server, how do I turn this OFF so that these files and never created?
Note from Moderator- don't use all caps in title as it is seen as shouting
Thanks
Edited by: Marilyn Pratt on Jan 27, 2009 12:19 PM

Hi Sanam,
For the TREX Preprocessor trace, You define the maximum file size for the input and output of documents in INI file - TREXPreprocessor.ini
The default size is set to 'Unlimited'
Please check the following values maintained in the configuration file.
Section: [ httpclient ]
Parameter: max_content_length
Default: Unlimited

Excessive trace files in 11G on AIX 6.1

Hello friends,
I have a few new Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7) databases running on IBM P560's, AIX 6.1.
After a few weeks of running these databases, I've noticed an excessive amount of trace files generated in the $ORACLE_BASE/diag/.../trace directory for various background processes and wondered if I might have a parameter set incorrectly. Note that there are no errors noted or references to the trace files in the alert logs, and I'm seeing the same behavior on two separate similar servers and databases.
I recall on HP-UX, setting ASYNC IO will cause thousands of trace files to be generated, but this seems new with 11g since we are not getting the trace files in our 10G environment.
For every trace file, there is also a 'trm' file.
E.g.,
DBAtst_dbrm_172144.trc
DBAtst_dbrm_172144.trm
The trm file is a binary file, and the trc file is ascii.
Inside of the trace file, the contents are similar to:

Don Burleson has a great web page addressing trace files in 11G, but it doesn't mention anything about excessive trace files.
http://www.praetoriate.com/t_debugging_adr_monitoring_tools.htm
I'm concerned that something is wrong and I should not be getting all these trace files. Plus, they will eventually fill up my disks if I don't keep them pruned down.
Thanks.

According to an article on Metalink, this is not a bug. This is what was posted on metalink
"Solution:
The bug 9056228 was closed as 'Not a bug'.
The messages are expected behavior due to the way the code is written. According to Development, these are not errors but some information Oracle dumps into trace files.
Customers need not to worry about anything about these messages. These are expected.
As a corrective action, these traces can be deleted at any time or ignored. "
I hope this helps.
