Log file's format in expdp\impdp

Hi all,
I need to set log file format for expdp\impdp utility. I have this format for my dump file - filename=<name>%U.dmp which generates unique names for dump files. How can i generate unique names for log files? It'd better if dump file name and log file names will be the same.
Regards,
rustam_tj

Hi Srini, thanks for advice.
I read doc which you suggest me. The only thing which i found there is:
Log files and SQL files overwrite previously existing files.
So i cant keep previos log files?
My OS is HP-UX (11.3) and database version is 10.2.0.4

Expdp log file

Using expdp I'm tyring to export a schema.
I have done the following:
grant create any directory to system;
create directory rman_dumps as '/home/oracle/expdp';
grant read,write on directory rman_dumps to system;
In a shell script I'm using the below command:
expdp system/ora123@uat2 schemas=RMAN directory=rman_ds dumpfile=rman.dmp logfile=rman.log
if [`cat /home/oracle/expdp/rman.log | grep "Success" | wc -l` != 0 ]; then
But script fails at this statement with this message:
LOG file name = /home/oracle/expdp/rman.log
grep: can't open rman.log
Can it not open the file created in the directory rman_dumps? How to read the log file created in the directory?

Hi,
You need to recheck the directory which you have created and using in the script.
Created Directory name is " rman_dumps "
But you are using in the scirpt is "directory=rman_ds "
Big Difference is there. Modify the script and try it out.

Any software/program that can read audit log files

Hi,
Currently i am searching for a program/tools that can read audit log files and format it into a readable format. Anyone know is there any in the market or any open source program?
Thank You.

Not sure what you mean by "audit log".
Anyway. Pete Finnigan's tools page has only one thing that might be what you're looking for - LMON, which runs on BSD, Solaris, Linux. As he's the go-to guy for Oracle security the chances of there being a good free log analyzer tool that he hasn't heard of is slight.

Delete content in alert.log file

hii,
Presently, i am working at oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server.
alter.log file size is 432 MB around which take several time time to open.
so, how can i delete content form alert.log file to reduce size
Regards
Vaibhav

Hi,
No need to delete contents of alertlog.
just rename the alert log file or copy to another location and delete old one,then it will automatically creates new alert log file with format alert_<sid>.log
note:
no need of database bounce.

Impdp unable to open log file

I have installed Oracle10Rel2 on a Windows 2000 server. I managed to get an
expdp from a machine but trying to do import I keep getting an error about writing
a log file. What else do I need to set? I even tried setting my directory value to
the location I have UTL_FILE_DIR set to for other processes. Even with Nologfile
specified it says it cannot write it.
Set Data_pump_dir=d:\log_err
expdp jlim/jlimdba01@emtsdb3 dumpfile=export_initial.dmp schemas=MYUSER
impdp jlim/jlimdba01@msgsup2 DUMPFILE=export_initial.dmp NOLOGFILE
Ora-39002: invalid operation
Ora-29070: Unable to open the log file.
Ora-39-087: directory name d:\log_err is invalid.
I am in the directory even.
I am trying to determine if Expdp only schema=Myuser gets everything I used to
get when I exported the User in Oracle 9i including grants, procedures, packages,
and things created by the owner.

It seems crazy that I have to login as SYS to create the directory and grant it to a
DBA user so the DBA can import the schema vs just importing like we have in the
past.
My user could not grant to himself for the Directory he created so:
Logged in as SYS, dropped the Directory I created as my DBA User, recreated it
at SYS, and tried to do grants but it says it doesn't exist. I also checked that my
directory and the udump and dpdump directories have Read/Write to everyone.
SQL> drop directory DUMPHERE;
Directory dropped.
SQL> create directory DUMPHERE as 'd:\log_err';
Directory created.
SQL> grant read,write on DUMPHERE to jlim;
grant read,write on DUMPHERE to jlim
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
How come I cannot find a full set of syntax and information on Datapump
anywhere either? This is holding us up to setup a new DB instance in 10g.

Formatting the server's log file

Hello,
I'm using WebLogic 10.3, and am looking for a way to format the log records in my server's log file. Currently the records have the default format, e.g:
+####<Sept 22, 2004 10:46:51 AM EST> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <MyComputer> <examplesServer> <main> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <null> <1080575211904> <BEA-000360> <Server started in RUNNING mode>+
There's a lot of information there that I don't need, or don't always need, and I would like to be able to define what I see there. I've been looking in the documentation (here), but haven't found anything useful.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Amnon Grossman
ECI Telecom

It is possible to do so using java.util.logging APIs.
// You can get a reference to the Server Logger like this:
java.util.logging.Logger logger = weblogic.logging.LoggingHelper.getServerLogger();
// Once you get hold of the file handler, you can set your own custom formatter.
Handler[] handlers = logger.getHandlers();
for(Handler handler : handlers) {
if (handler.getClass().getName().equals("weblogic.logging.FileStreamHandler")) {
handler.setFormatter(new MyCustomFormatter());
}

File name format of rotated access log

Hi,
I'm using wls5.1sp9 on Solaris.
Is it possible to specify a different file name format of the rotated http access
logs?
Instead of getting files named access.log0001 and so on, I would prefer access.log.<date>
or some other custom format.
Best regards,
Torleif Galteland

Hi,
Thanks for your response. But I have another query. The name of the file as per your reply is like UsageReport.xls correct? Now my query is, should it contain some date,account id/orgid etc associated for that usage. The reason for my query is that if MSP
downloads the usage for different orgs having same bill date then it would conflict with the different usage files.
Thanks And Regards,

Log file in xml format: bad idea?

Hey
Im trying to write a class that will let other classes keep a log on whatever they want to. Whoever wants to write a message to a log file will call a function there, with the specified log name and the message, and my class will write it in xml format into the file.
Simple right? But here's the catch: in order to append a log into the file, I have to read it all first, then create the Element and add it to the root element. That meens that as the file grows, so will the time it takes to read it, and eventually log will take loads of time...
All this would not have happen otherwise, with simple text files, as all I have to do is to open the file for appending, which wouldn't take that much time.
So my questions are: Am I stupid to think this is possible with xml? Should I open the xml file as text file and then manipulate it? Are there any other possibilities?
Thanks for your help - Uzi

Writing logs in an xml file is a very good idea and will later on provide you with a lot of flexibility to perform queries and how u want to display it.
Simple right? But here's the catch: in order to append
a log into the file, I have to read it all first, then
create the Element and add it to the root element.
That meens that as the file grows, so will the time it
takes to read it, and eventually log will take loads
of time...Why do you want to read the whole file for writing new elements. You dont have to do that. I have a simple idea for your problem.
e.g <logfile>
<log>
</log>
</logfile>
So now u want to add another log element. Use RandomAccessFile's length() method to find the size of the file.
Find the size of </logfile> e.g if it is sizeOfString.
Use RandonAccessFile's seek() method as follows
.......seek(lengthOfFile - sizeOfString);
This will move the pointer of the RandomAccessFile to this position. Next step is you can use writeBytes method to further write to this file.
That will increase the speed and performance and would give u great end results of an xml file.

When using wusa.exe to install MSU update package and enabling logging using the /log switch, what format are the log files in?

I have been installing a number of hotfixes for Windows 7 using MSU files and the wusa.exe utility included in Windows. I thought it would be a good idea to generate separate log files for each update as it was installed since wusa.exe now supports this
option using /log:<file name>. However, the log files created do not seem to be regular text files or any other log file format that I immediately recognize. When opened in Notepad or Wordpad you can see that they contain a lot of additional binary data
which can't be read by a regular text viewer.
Does anyone know what format these log files are in? What tool should you use to read them?

Only Microsoft can manage to design something as stupid as this. If you start wusa from the command line, it pops up the alternative command line switches. For log, it just says: " /log - installer will enable logging". It doesn't say that you
should specify the log file name, hence not HOW you specify it (" /log:<path\filename>.") It doesn't say what extension to use for the file, alas which file type it is (" /log:<path\filename.evtx>."). You open it in notepad, you cannot read it.
You open it in sccm's cmtrace.exe/trace32.exe, you get nothing. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT THIS IN A WORSE WAY. How can something be so bad? How can Microsoft get such stupidity inhouse, when you need to go through six interviews or something to get in??
I cannot believe it - unfortunely, this is seen again and again.

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

Yes. The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

How does one name an Archive Log file in ARC%S_%R.%T format

Hallo!I have been trying to enable Archive Log mode for the Oracle 10g database.
In OEM,I went via the links Maintenance->Recovery Settings->Media Recovery
There,a text box by the name Log Archive Filename Format requires one to name the Archive Log file in ARC%S_%R.%T format.
I have tried several times to name the Archive log e.g ARC001_001.001 but when I shutdown and restart the database instance,the error below appears
ORA-19905: log_archive_format must contain %s, %t and %r.
This error has proved impossible to rectify and I am forced to uninstall then re-install Oracle 10g.
I would like to have back-ups in archive log mode.Please give me the best way to name the Archive Log file i.e with an example name so that I can have online back-ups.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you try to change the LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT to something other than the default %s,%t,%r, it will fail
Perform as the below steps in order to enable archive log mode
SQL>create pfile from spfile
SQL>create pfile='c:\temp\init.ora' from spfile;
SQL>created;
SQL>shutdown immediate;
edit the init.ora file by adding the following information
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=C:\db\archive1'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.dbf'
Start the DB with modified pfile.

Date format inconsistent in log files

Hi All,
I have a cluster spread accross 4 machines(4 different physical boxes).
In three of the machines, the log format is ,
<17/1/2010>
while in the fourth on it is like,
<Jan 17 >
We require the log format in the form <17/1/2010>
Any help or suggestion???
Thanks.

Usually, this is due to a localization difference in the JVMs. When WLS boots, the .log file should show you some detailed information about the locale it is using, make sure that is consistent across the machines.

The format of Audit log file

We have a perl script to extract data from Audit log files(Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0) which have format as bellow.
Audit file /u03/oracle/admin/NIKKOU/adump/ora_5037.aud

After we update the db from Release 10.2.0.1.0 to Release 10.2.0.4.0, the format of Audit log file had been changed to something likes below.

Because we have to rewrite the perl script, could anyone tell us where we can find the manual to describe the format of the Audit log file.

Oracle publishes views of the audit trail data. You can find a list of the views for the 11.1 database here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28531/auditing.htm#BCGIICFE
The audit trail does not really change between patchsets as that would constitute underlying structure changes and right now, the developers are not allowed to change the underlying structure of tables in patchsets. But, we can change what may be displayed in a column from patchset to patchset. For example, we are getting ready to update the comment$text field to display more information like dblinks and program names.
I personally don't like overloading the comment$text field like that, but sometimes when you need the information, that is the only choice except to wait for the next major release :)
As for the output of the audit log files, those can change between patchsets because of bugs that were found and some changes to support Audit Vault. My apologies out there for anyone that is reading the audit files written to the OS directly, I would recommend using the views.
Hope that helps. Tammy

Listing log file in dd_mm_yy.txt format

Hi everyone,
I want to list log files whose names are changing daily in command line. Like that;
C:\log\dd_mm_yy.txt
"dd_mm_yy.txt" is changing daily. What kind of a definition I must use in Windows command prompt to list the log file ? Could you please help me about how can I solve that problem?
Best Regards
Murat

In linux command line similarly I can use below command, but in Windows I couldnt do
ls -d /usr/local/logs/*error*.$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
set /?
look at string manipulation
also:
echo %date%
We will eventually break you Unix guys of your old bad habits. In Windows we actually have all of those things. In Unix you only have some of them.
Don't feel bad. PowerShell is almost ready to run on all versions of Linux.
