Oracle log deletion

Hi,
I am wanting to save some space with the oracle logs which are created. I have zipped up the files and want to delete the logs until I actually have to use them. Does Oracle access these logs during normal operation or am I safe to delete them and extract them from the zip file if needed in the future?

we dont do online operations we have created log
files after backup and it has occupied large space in
memory, we have created some log files is it save to
delete these log files.I am kinda confused by the statment.
What log files you created? with what command?
occupied large space in memoryI suppose you mean diskspace not memory correct?

Hi,
I do new tests it's very strange.
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG command is not obeying the policy of archivelog.
You can open a SR on MOS. (to check bugs)
I reproduce the same test and the result was the same, it seems that this is a bug.

RMAN> list archivelog all;
specification does not match any archived log in the repositoryOracle Docs Says:
The BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ... DELETE INPUT command deletes archived log files after they are backed up.
This command eliminates the separate step of manually deleting archived redo logs.
With DELETE INPUT, RMAN deletes only the specific copy of the archived log chosen for the backup set.
With DELETE ALL INPUT, RMAN deletes each backed-up archived redo log file from all log archiving destinations.
As explained in "Configuring an Archived Redo Log Deletion Policy",
the BACKUP ... DELETE INPUT and DELETE ARCHIVELOG commands obey the archived redo log deletion policy
for logs in all archiving locations. For example, if you specify that logs should only be deleted when backed
up at least twice to tape, then BACKUP ... DELETE honors this policy.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm#BRADV89524
But in ours case it's not honors this policy.
Only with the FORCE command should this happen. But it is not our case.
Oracle Docs:
If FORCE is not specified on the deletion commands,
then these deletion commands obey the archived log deletion policy.
If FORCE is specified, then the deletion commands ignore the archived log deletion policy.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta010.htm#RCMRF113
Alternatively you can do the following:
Set the commands separately.
Check this:
RMAN> run {
2> backup archivelog all not backed up 2 times ;
3> delete archivelog all backed up 2 times to disk;
4> }

FINANTIAL DOCUMENTS MISSING --- ORACLE LOGS FULL

Hi Experts,
9 documents are missing and when they were saved the system showed the message "update has been stopped". This was because of the Oracle LOGS (full).
When Oracle problem was solved the documents were not found in SM13 to recovered.
Any clue?
On the other hand If a have finantial documents in QAS how can I put it on PRD?
Regards.

Hi,
Schedule your backups according to the full backup time.
Do a test of full backup and fine the time that it takes to complete the full backup. You can include "plus archivelog" if you want your archive logs to be backed up along with the full backup. This is most preferred as this makes restoration easy too.
If your full backup takes, say, 4 hrs to complete and if you schedule your full backup at 00 00 hrs on your scheduler, then schedule the archive backups after 04 00 hrs. This will solve your problems with missing archive backups.
>> "But from RMAN specialist I heard that this may cause problems with full backup. During full backup also archive logs are backed up (at the start and end) so there might be a problem with accessing the file that is used by another process. And this may cause problem with full backup - which we want to avoid especially."
This will throw out errors if your input to full backup consists "delete input" for your archived logs, else the process will not have any problem and succeed.
Also when one or more of backups run concurrently, "ORA-00230: operation disallowed: snapshot control file enqueue unavailable" error may occur but this is rare case.
Thank you!!

ORACLE LOG ERRORS - Bug in oracle??

Hi,
we are using oracle log errors to capture oversized err records for varchar2 type fields. Sql is something like:
INSERT INTO abc (col1,col2) VALUES ('asdsass','weqwewqee') LOG ERRORS INTO abc_err('1') REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
But, data captured in abc table is trimmed data. Right spaces present in source are being trimmed by oracle while capturing this error table. I have the following queries:
-Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior?
-Is it a bug in oracle log errors functionallity??
-Is there any workaround to use oracle log errors functionality to catch untrimmed data?
thanks,

Does oracle log general errors

Dear experts,
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.3. I am researching on random ORA-00900:     invalid SQL statement error that we are seeing in production. Does oracle log such errors in alert.log or any tables? If not can we configure to log such errors?
Thanks.

Dont understand.... you are seeing ORA-00900 in production but don't know where to search this error? where do you see it?It is being logged from application in event log which I do not have access to. I wanted to check if oracle also logs such error some where.

ODI logs deleted after scenario refresh

Hi,
I'm using a load plan which starts half a dozen scenarios.
All scenarios are packages scenarios version 001.
When I modify any package I regenerate any related scenario.
(Basically I'm not using the versioning system supplied by ODI, but I need to generate scenarios anyhow because ODI does not allow packages in load plans).
So fa so good, everything works despite an issue with the logs.
Every time I regenerate a scenario, ODI deletes all the related logs.
To me, this does not make sense.
In example I wuold like to see if the "new" scenario impacts loading times, but I have no more "old" scenario logs.
Any way to avoid logs deletion after scenarios regeneration?
ODI 11.1.1.6
Regards,
Corrado

Hi,
thank you for pointing it out, but the user parameter "Delete linked sessions with scenarios" is already set to "No".
(Also the docs seems to say this parameter only applies to manual deletion of scenarios from GUI).

Corrado

How to use oracle log ?

Hello experts,
what is oracle logs ? how these are helpful to identify the error and error messages ?
thanks in advance

i take an example..
i have a function or procedure, i executed it in some pl/sql block. and its generating some error.
if i want to check, where is problem or which error generated, can i check it from logs.
i want to use the oracle logs in daily practice while writing procedure and function or pl/sql pr sql statements.
That error which is generated by some user-defined program is not an error that would be considered to go into the database logs(alert.log etc) but it would be passed on to the calling environment and based on that environment, that error details would be displayed. Have you not seen such error details shown while doing the coding of such programs? If you need to go more than that you would need to include some additional bits of code like dbms_utility and may have to call it's procedure format_error_backtrace .
Just my 2 cents.

How to - write oracle logs to syslog

Is there a method for writing some/all of the logs produced by oracle in syslog format? In the
SANS oracle security class it was suggested to write oracle logs using syslog on unix systems.
I am running 10g on RedHat.
Has anyone done this before? Any pointers to reference material? My google search for
variations of - syslog oracle unix logs was not helpful.
thanks
THeresa

Is there a method for writing some/all of the logs produced by oracle in syslog format?What type of logs do you mean?
Maybe following link will help you (Documentation - New Features):
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14266/whatsnew.htm#sthref34
This is example if you want put all messages from alert log to syslog.
You could use "logger" command for this purpose.
For example create startup script (in /etc/init.d/ directory) which will execute (as root) following command:
tail -f /path/to/oracle/bdump/alert_<SID>.log | logger &Now all actions will be logged in alert log and also in system logs.
This example has at least one disadvantage:
If you remove alert log tail will loose the pointer for file - no new messages in system logs.
For more info execute "man logger" from shell.

Oracle Log files Path

Could anybody update where can we find oracle log files which stores log-in details (specially erros) when log thro' SQLPlus or OEM
and oracle service issue logs.
Thax
Shabar

Hi,
If you are encountring any network related errors you can find the errors in sqlnet.log (<<ORACLE_HOME>>\NETWORK\LOG).
But for program related errors, you have spool the output to a text file manually.
Eg:
SQL>spool logfile.txt
SQL> select * fromtab;
SQL> spool off
In this example, the output will be saved in logfile.txt.

R12 Apps logs deletion.

Hi,
Please assist me about to delete the logs from following paths:
/d01/oracle/TEST/inst/apps/TEST_erpappsdb/logs/ora/10.1.2/reports/cache --------> 67 GB
/d01/oracle/TEST/inst/apps/TEST_erpappsdb/logs/appl/conc/out ----------> 67 GB
I have checked to delete the logs from above paths, on testing machine and but logs are created again with same size.
What should I do, I am new DBA?
Thanks,
Faziarain

Hi Fazi,
have checked to delete the logs from above paths, on testing machine and but logs are created again with same size.You can refer the following ML doc,
[Reports Cache Directory in Oracle E-Business R12 is Growing Rapidly|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=859255.1]

RMAN,Data Guard and Archive log deletion

Our DG environment is running Oracle 11g R2
we have a 3 node DG environment with
A being the Primary
B and C being Active Data Guard Standbys
Backups are taken off of B and go directly to tape.
Standby Redo Logs and Fast Recovery Area are being used
Taking recommendation from "Using Recovery Manager with Oracle Data Guard in Oracle Database 10g"
RMAN Setting on Primary ("A")
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
RMAN Setting on Standby ("B") where Backup is done
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE
RMAN Setting on other Standby ("C")
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
How can we know what archive logs are eligible to be deleted from "A" and "C" ?
When does the delete take place?
How can we tell when the archive logs are being deleted from "A" and "C" ?

Dear user10260925,
The documentation that you have read is reliable but insufficient.
The Oracle can manage the archivelog directory and knows which one is eligible for the deletion. Those stuff you have posted in here has been taken from the online documentation and is supported and can be used when the Oracle knows and manages the archivelogs. That is simply called the flash recovery area. Please read about the FRA in this very moment.
Under normal circumstances people in the industry uses some scripts to achive the archivelog deletion on the standby system.
Here is a useful example to you;
# Remove old archivelogs
00,30 * * * * /home/oracle/scripts/delete_applied_redo_logs_OPTSTBY.sh
vals3:/home/oracle#cat /home/oracle/scripts/delete_applied_redo_logs_OPTSTBY.sh
export ORACLE_SID=optstby
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
cd /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog
/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @delete_applied_redo_logs.sql
grep arc delete_applied_redo_logs.lst > delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
chmod 755 delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
sh delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
rm delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
rm delete_applied_redo_logs.lst
vals3:/home/oracle#cd /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog
vals3:/db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog#cat delete_applied_redo_logs.sql
set echo off
set heading off
spool /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog/delete_applied_redo_logs.lst
select 'rm -f ' || name from v$archived_log where applied = 'YES';
spool off
exit
