  • Need to understand when  redo log files content  is wrote to datafiles

    Hi all
    I have a question about the time when redo log files are wrote to the datafiles
    supposing that the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and all redo log files are filled, the official oracle database documentation says that: *a filled redo log file is available
    after the changes recorded in it have been written to the datafiles* witch mean that we just need to have all the redo log files filled to "*commit*" changes to the database
    Thanks for help

    The wording is poor and should be modified to something like:
    <blockquote>
    +"a filled online redo log file is available for re-use after all the data blocks that have been changed by change vectors recorded in the log file have been written to the data files"+
    </blockquote>
    Remember if a data block that is NOT an undo block has been changed by a transaction, then an UNDO block has been changed at the same time, and both change vectors will be in the redo log file. The redo log file cannot, therefore, be re-used until the data block and the associated UNDO block have been written to disc. The change to the data block can thus be rolled back (uncommitted changes can be written to data files) because the UNDO is also available on disc if needed.
    If you find the manuals too fragmented to follow you may find that my book, Oracle Core, offers a narrative description that is easier to comprehend.

  • Redo log file contents

    How can I check the contents of the redo log files?
    I recently install 10g. We haven't used the db yet, but the redo logs are very active.
    Is there a query to determine what activity is filling the redo log files?
    Thank you for any help.
    Take Care.

    The Automatic Workload Repository takes snapshots of
    statistics, via scheduled job, at hourly intervals.
    This is probably responsible for some of the redo.
    You can see if this feature is turned on by checking
    the job queue (simply: select * from dba_jobs).
    The default settings on AWR can be managed using the
    DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY built-in package.
    Hope this helps.

  • Accessing the script log file contents

    I would like to know the contents of the script log at a customer's site.   since we run DIADEM as a service,  it is not possible to  'see' the log.
    are the contents stored somewhere?
    is it possible to access (programatically) and write out contents?
    jim

    Hello Jim!
    The log is stored in a file. The filename with path is the concation of the variables DeskDrv and LogFilename. How verbose DIAdem is can be set via the LogFileExtent variable (see help) and in your script you can write to the log with the LogfileWrite command.
    Hope this helps

  • Maxlscript for backup of log files

    Hi All,
    I want the maxlscript for the taking the backup of the log files in the essbase server and after taking the backup delete the log files content from the server logs.After that when ever i take abackup of the logsfrom the server it should do the same process and replace the logs backup which i have taken earlier.
    Thankingyou all
    Regards
    User2271

    what are the log files you want to take backup Essbase server and application logs. right?
    If yes. after stopping the server you can copy to any location using file system copy command and create a 0kb file.you dont need Maxl for this.
    And this truncation of log files will improve the server or application performance.
    Back up is necessary for tracking purpose and i think you dont need to restore them.

  • What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

    What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
    In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
    logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
    However, is there better way to do this?
    The eventual log file will be something like:
    log message 1
    log message 2
    content from file line 1
    content from file line 2
    content from file line 3
    log message 3
    log message 4Thanks

    I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
    Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.
    >
    2.The only better way I can think of is not having to do it, but I assume you have a very good reason to want to do this.
    Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
    Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?
            File AAA - contents
                       First Line
                       Second Line XXX
            Log 1
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line

                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: ----- File: AAA -------------
                    First Line
                    Second Line XXX
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following lineBoth of the above have some advantages and disadvantages.
    The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
    The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
    The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.

  • Contents of a red log file

    Hi
    Just want to know about the internal of redo log file. My objective is to find out some dump of redo log file to understand how the data is stored in it. what is stored in it. deos redo log file has a header. if yes what is stored in it. what is the structure of redo log file.
    The objective of this thread is to learn the internal of redo log file using some sort of dump. I hope Guru will help me
    thanks
    Nick

    internal of redo log file using some sort of dumpHey Nick,
    Yes you can . Basically its a binary file. So you cannot learn about it directly.
    Some of the contents of the redologs are
    1) every DML operation and DDL operation is logged here. (redo means replay. Whatever you run in the database will be logged here, except SQL select statements
    2) it contains the timestamp too of the statements and also the SCN numbers
    3) It will also contain COMMIT and ROLLBACK commands.
    You have to use a utility called LOGMINER that will "mine" the redologs and then you can view the contents in an ascii format using "v$logminer_contents" view.
    All the best.

  • Is it possible to display the content of a file in flex as it is written. E.G. a log file

    I have flex app sitting on a Linux server.
    I want to be able to spool the content of a file on the same server as the flex app to the users screen using say a textarea or similar.
    The file is some type of log so its going to constantly have lines added. Is there a way to do this ? I am guessing I need to constantly refresh the flex app with the file content.

    Yes you can. Small example for you:

  • Where are SmartView BI+ Content Independent Provider Log Files

    We are on Oracle/Hyperion v11.1.1.3 (BI/Foundation/Planning Services on Solaris Unix; Weblogic; Essbase on Windows).
    Our users have created some MS Powepoint presentations that contain pages that run a Financial Report (FR) which queries data from a planning application using a "Hyperion Reporting and Analysis" Independent provider connection (example: "http://server_name:19000/workspace/browse/listxml").
    I am unable to find the location of the log files that shows where logon/activity is tracked. We have looked and only find tracing information from Essbase log files when the query runs and authentication happens at the Essbase level but need to find where the other log information (including APS service activity) is logged to.
    Thanks.

  • How to check the contents of Control file, Log file & Parameter file

    Can anybody help me how i can check the contents of Control file, Log file & Parameter file.
    Arif

    OK ...
    Parameter file:
    It will normally be in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directopry. It could be aan init{sid}.ora or a spfile{sid}.ora ... do not edit an SPFILE as yu could corrupt it.
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/create.htm#sthref434
    If it's an init{sid}.ora, use any editor to see the actual content.
    If it's a spfile{sid}.ora, use one of V$PARAMETER, V$PARAMETER2, V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER, V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER2 as aappropriate (read the Reference manual to get an idea about when each is appropriate)
    Control File:
    You should not edit a control file. It consists of many areas, as described here http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/physical.htm#i10135 and each are is interrogated by V$views as given in the reference manual. The following V$views all deal with some aspect of the control file or provide info about the control files or the contents of control files:

  • Logs files means

    hi
    where may I find information that can explain me the means of my log files. I�m administering an 9iAS , so I need to know what those logs says.
    Example
    this is a debug message
    [Thu Oct  9 09:20:10 2003] [debug] oc4j_ac_worker.c(413): [client 162.122.40.203] MOD_OC4J_0122: Successfully serviced request with network worker: home_15.

    What does this mean ?
    Help

    Thanks Markus.
    Below are the only logs I found in dev_disp (aside from the Signal 2 log) which were generated at the time of the shutdown:
    Mon Oct 29 01:56:06 2007
    ***LOG Q0M=> DpMsDetach, ms_detach () [dpxxdisp.c   8415]
    MBUF state OFF
    MBUF component DOWN
    Mon Oct 29 01:56:07 2007
    ERROR => DpRqIQRemove: ShmDelete [dpxxqueu.c   430]
    Mon Oct 29 01:56:08 2007
    ***LOG Q05=> DpHalt, DPStop ( 29771) [dpxxdisp.c   7280]
    I believe it was a normal shutdown, don't you think?
