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.

Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing

Hi All
Please find the details below:
1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
Issue Details_
1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:
[*2011-01-12T16:55:48.639+05:30] [soa_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.soa.adapter] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@19c243d]*

Delete the file and restart server. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
If any one has faced similar issues, kindly provide pointers on how to resolve it.

Hi,
Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
Keep the following property in your .jca file
<property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

See that the mandatory SICF setting are enabled or Active in the SICF Services. Follow the steps as below:-
Enter the TCode SICF
Execute the same for Hierarchy Type SICF.
Check the following SAP Note 1295006.

If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.

If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.

If you are using 11g, then why cant you go for using ADRCI utility, it can manage and trim the trace files

Need help deleting an image field/pictures in worksheet

I am in need of help!!! Added photos in an important .pdf document (a worksheet form that was pre-made) and I added image fields (Top box photo and small bottom box for text). I need to delete some image fields now and it won't let me. I upgraded my Adobe Reader to Acrobat XI Pro trial, still can't. If I try to edit image, it says I need to have Live Cycle designer to edit this form. Someone please help! This is my son's Eagle Scout worksheet and needs to be fixed tonight....please

If the file was created in LiveCycle Designer then it can only be edited
there.
It's not clear in what way you edited it originally.

You cannot edit the content of the PDF file using Adobe Reader.
Or are you trying to delete the document(PDF) file?
You should be able to delete the PDF file like any other file on your computer.
Please explain your problem in detail, this will help me to find a resolution quickly.

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).

I need help retrieving Microsoft files lost when upgrading to OSX Mavericks

My daughter recently upgraded our Mac to the OSX Mavericks platform. Unfortunately, all of our Microsoft files, etc. are gone! I need to know how I can retrieve these files or if I can. I'm honestly not impressed with this new platform. I need help asap and your help is truly appreciated.

You have to make the backup yourself. That's your only protection against file loss whether accidental or catastrophic. In fact you should have at least two of them - each done differently and on separate drives.
If your files truly were "erased" then you can see if they can be recovered:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
     capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

I need help with viewing files from the external hard drive on Mac

I own a 2010 mac pro 13' and using OS X 10.9.2(current version). The issue that I am in need of help is with my external hard drive.
I am a photographer so It's safe and convinent to store pictures in my external hard drive.
I have 1TB external hard drive and I've been using for about a year and never dropped it or didn't do any thing to harm the hardware.
Today as always I connected the ext-hard drive to my mac and click on the icon.
All of my pictures and files are gone accept one folder that has program.
So I pulled up the external hard drive's info it says the date is still there, but somehow i can not view them in the finder.
I really need help how to fix this issue!

you have a notebook, there is a different forum.
redundancy for files AND backups, and even cloud services
so a reboot with shift key and verify? Recovery mode
but two or more drives.
a backup, a new data drive, a drive for recovery using Data Rescue III
A drive can fail and usually not if, only when
and is it bus powered or not

Need help deleting graphic junk mail

I need help. I cannot delete graphic junk mail into trash. When I try it says unable to move messages. Messages could not be moved to mailbox trash. And the dial keeps spinning. I'm not getting mail cuz this junk is bogging down my iPad & iPhone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I tried going on my MAC and deleting but they dont show up there?!? I tried rebooting, hard reset, nothin.
Please anyone out there ? I'd be eternally grateful.

If you cannot delete them on the Mac, it will probably be problematic trying to delete them on the iPad as well.
You said you couldn't delete them on the Mac either. If you mean in the Mac mail app, don't delete them there. Delete them on the server in your web browser. Launch Safari - or whatever browser you use on the Mac and then go to your web mail and delete the email there.

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)

        reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in);               // read the the keyboard
        keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader);                  //<-
        String name;                 //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
        int newnames;               //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
        int order = 0;              //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
        String[] array;             //Dynamic array (empty)
        System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?");   //This will get the number that will later define the array
        name = keyboard.readLine ();
        newnames = Integer.parseInt (name);                                         // Converts the String into the Integer variable
        array = new String [newnames];                                               //This defines the size of the array

}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with?

Need help deleting trace files
