OID (iasdb) 9.0.1.4.0 generating tons of archive logs

Hi,
When the tspurge jobs run, from dba_jobs it looks like there is a lot of archive logs being generated. Is this normal ? If so, are records being deleted from certain log and audit tables (PORTAL, ORASSO etc). I have a situation when the tspurgeDirObject ('cn=secrefresh events purgeconfig' ); END; runs, 125MB archive logs are generated every 2 minutes and is filling up disk space.
Thanks for your help.
Ramesh.

Because I try to perform daily backup at lunch time and found out it takes more than 1 hour had no any progress. Normally we take around 40 minus. The following is the log file:

current log archived
After that I go to archive log directory "/u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs" and use ls -lt command to see how many archive logs and my screen just hang. After we found out that we cannot use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf
archive log, the rest of archive logs able to use ls -lt command.
We cannot delete this file as well. We shutdown database abort and perform check disk...... and fix the disk error and then open database again. Everything seems back to normal and we can use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf.
The strange problem is we have the same problem in Development and Production..... one ore more archive logs seems to be corrupted under the same directories /u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs.
Does anyone encounter the same problem?

Create procedure is generating too many archive logs

Hi
The following procedure was run on one of our databases and it hung since there were too many archive logs being generated.
What would be the answer? The db must remain in archivelog mode.

The amount of redo generated is a direct function of how much data is changing. If you insert 'x' number of rows, you are going to generate 'y' mbytes of redo. If your procedure is destined to insert 1000 rows, then it is destined to create a certain amount of redo. Period.
I would question the <i>performance</i> of the procedure shown ... using a cursor loop with a commit after every row is going to be a slug on performance but that doesn't change the fact 'x' inserts will always generate 'y' redo.

Generating lots of archive logs

Hi Friends,
We have an EBS 11i on AIX 5L ...which has just been setup and ready for UAT...but the AppsDBA/Functional Consultant who didi it are not around anymore to ask for questiones. I just noticed the there are archive logs generated everyday...like 30 logs...when in fact the application is not being used. Is there concurrent programs
that has been setup to update data on a background process, just like recursive updating which is not really necessary. How do I check if there are updates being done.
Thanks a lot

Do not stop this concurrent program as it is used to synchronize the Workflow local tables with the user and role information stored in the product application tables until each affected product performs the synchronization automatically.
More details can be found in the following note:
Note: 171703.1 - 11.5.x: Implementing Oracle Workflow Directory Service Synchronization
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=171703.1
Did you check the total size of the log files? I believe you should not be worried now until the system is delivered to the users, you can monitor the number of log files generated daily then and based on that start your investigation.

One process generating too much archives

Hi all,
DB-Oracle 9.2
OS- Aix
One of my friend ask me how to find out which process generating too mcuh archive logs
below are some of the parameters
log_checkpoint_interval integer 30000
log_checkpoint_timeout integer 1800
log_checkpoints_to_alert boolean FALSE
log_buffer 1048576
log_archive_max_processes 2
fast_start_mttr_target 0please suggest me

hi,
you have killed the seesion.. but insert operations are not needed or what? if you don't want any insert from that user then give priveleges acccordingly.
coz, the import may be needed for some application. or else increase the redo log files.
to find which process
check the holding session from dba_waiter and check whether the session using any insert or update statement..(find the query).. even u can check from ps-ef |grep arch..
instead of killing you can do any other alteration or inform user to import at a less consuption DB time..
regards,
Deepak

To generate email alert when archive logs fill

Hi. I was away yesterday and the archive logs were filling up and were at 92% when I got in this morning.
I need to have an email generated once the /archlogs directory fills past 90%.
The total size of that directory is 8064M. So once it hits around 7257M I would like an email fired to me and my boss.
Oracle 9.2.0.5.0
UNIX AIX 5.2

In addition to Sybrand's reply, you might want to consider some other factors.
First, when setting up email notifications, you need to adjust your expectations to account for the possible latency in email delivery. I have seen 'critical' emails take several hours to get through the system. This is not a function of Oracle, but of the email servers.
Second, if archivelog destination filling up is an ongoing problem, I'd be looking at how my archivelogs are backed up and deleted - how I do my housekeeping on that destination. You should have more important things to do than constant monitoring and responding to 'destination full' conditions.

Importing tables generating too much archives

I am using 9i/10g.
Please suggest how to import big tables without generating archives.
Can be set something like direct=y
Thanks in advance,
Aj

Pre-create the objects before import and change them to NOLOGGING.
This way the amount of Redo Generated will be less with Archive Log mode.
Use Buffer and Commit=n which would speed up the import process.
If possible, Change the Database to Noarchive log mode and proceed with the import.
Same way.Create the Indexes with Nologging and Parallel mode to speed up the process.

Reduce amount of archived log generated.

RDBMS version : 9.2.0.8
SQL> SELECT tablespace_name, force_logging FROM dba_tablespaces;
TABLESPACE_NAME FORCE_LOGGING
SYSTEM NO
Above is what status of database, but when I do maintenance work of rebuilding index tablespace I get day or two worth of archived log files.
and I dont' think ALTER DATABASE no force logging will reduce the amount of log generated.
Is there any other method available?
thanks

Hi,
if you force logging for a tablespace or for the database, then this means only that any nologging clause that comes with statements related to segments in that tablespace/database is ignored. No force logging is the default.
In order to reduce the amount of redo protocol, you may consider to use NOLOGGING for the rebuild of your indexes:
create index <indexname> on <table(column)> nologging;Or you put the tablespace in NOLOGGING in which the indexes are created in:
alter tablespace <indextablespace> nologging;Or (perhaps even better) simply leave the indexes as they are. Most indexes do not need a rebuild anyway.
Kind regards

Refresh Materilaized Views without generating Archive Logs

Hello Gurus,
I'm facing an emebarassing situation,
I've a job every night to execute a dbms_refresh on several materialiled Views, but there are 2 Mviews that take almost 30 minutes each but another issue thay generates almost 10G of data and my File system becomes full in a minute.
I've done an alter Mview Nologging but it doesn't change anything.
Does soemon ahve an idea how to do a refresh without generating Archive logs - or
without logging?
thxs in advance
C.

Since this is a TRUNCATE and INSERT, any user / application querying the MV while the Refresh is running will see ZERO rows. Furthermore if the INSERT fails (e.g. insufficent space to add an extent), the MV remains with ZERO rows.
A DELETE and INSERT avoids such situations (even if the refresh fails, both INSERT and DELETE are rolled-back and the MV is reverted to the state as it was before the Refresh began -- thus showing data from the previous refresh)
Hemant K Chitale
http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com
Just to clarify : My paragraphs above are not about data "missing" but about precautions to be taken. A COMPLETE Refresh is done during defined outages -- users/applications are made aware that data is not available while the Refresh is running.

How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad

How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad?
OBS!
There are NO files apearing in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<name of iPad> so where else can i find it?
I want to force it to produce a log, or find it within the iPad.
It is needed for support of an app.

Not sure on porting out the log data, but you can find it under General->About->Diagnostic&Usage->Diagnostic&Usage Data. It will give you a list of your log data, and you can get additional details by selecting the applicable log you are looking for. Hope this helps.
