Purging Old Data

pls help in solving one issue related to purging the data.
There are some 40 tables in the database am working in. And I need to check these tables for data which is 5 years old and have to delete those data but these tables are interlinked with other tables (parent -child relation). So how to proceed with this.
I thought of "with cascade" option but what if the record in the table with the relation is below 5 yrs time period (within 5 yrs data, should not be deleted) ?

They know the data model. This request for purging old data is very likely to occur again in a year's time. What then? Go through a painful exercise again (this time taking data model changes since the last time into consideration)?
I do not see the logic in that. So instead I will throw this back at the developer and tell them that a PL/SQL package needs to be designed and written to purge old data. DBA input into this will be ito design. Can a purge be done as a single massive delete transaction? Or make it more sense to design the purge for a specific date range? Or a specific product/invoice/customer/whatever business entity that can be aged? And then run multiple such purges in parallel?
And why the purge? Is it to free up space? That may not be the case depending on the pctfree/pctused settings on a data block. So do some tables perhaps need to be rebuild after a purge in order to reorganise the table and free space?
That's the DBA side of the problem. Figuring out what data can be deleted from which tables and writing code to do that - that's a developer problem.
So either side, you need to make sure you use the other side to assist you in doing this task.

How can I purge old data on EM Repository?

I'd like to remove my old data of EM repository. For example, removing old data collected before Jan 1st 2007.
Is there any auto-job for that facility? Or Any ideas?

Be sure you have your dbms_jobs working and they have run.
MGMT_JOB_ENGINE.apply_purge_policies();
is perhaps the one you need to have run.
You can verify the info
setup tab,
Management & Service Repository
Repository Operations
Then check the date stamps in the Last Scheduled Run
They should be no more than a day or 2 ago fore each and every one of them.
If its not, then check the repostory db dbms_jobs and dbms_job.run(xxx) the job.

Hi,
here are the comments which are in the plsql package collaxa:
* procedure insert_sa
* Stored procedure to do a "smart" insert of a scope activation message.
* If a scope activation message already exists, don't bother to insert
* and return 0 (this process can happen if two concurrent threads generate
* an activation message for the same scope - say the method scope for
* example - only one will insert properly; but both threads will race to
* consume the activation message).
* procedure insert_wx
* Stored procedure to insert a retry exception message into the
* wi_exception table. Each failed attempt to retry a work item
* gets logged in this table; each attempt is keyed by the work item
* key and an increasing retry count value.
* procedure update_doc
* Stored procedure to do a "smart" insert of a document row. If the
* document row has not been inserted yet, insert the row with an empty
* blob before returning it.
* procedure delete_ci
* Deletes a cube instance and all rows in other Collaxa tables that
* reference the cube instance. Since we don't have referential
* integrity on the tables (for performance reasons), we need this
* method to help clean up the database easily.
* procedure delete_cis_by_domain_ref
* Deletes all the cube instances in the system. Since we don't have
* referential integrity on the tables (for performance reasons), we
* need this method to help clean up the database easily.

Purging Old Mail Messages

I'm currently playing around with purging old mail messages after a certain time period. For test I've set inbox and sent at 7 days and trash at 1 day.
I've read: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4428/6n6j4267s?a=view
Quite useful. I've set a global purge with the following:
Rule1.regexp: 1
Rule1.folderpattern: user/.*/trash
Rule1.messagedays: 1
Rule2:regexp: 1
Rule2.folderpattern: user/.*/inbox
Rule2.messagedays: 7
Rule3.regexp: 1
Rule3.folderpattern: user/.*/sent
Rule3.messagedays: 7
Rule4.regexp: 1
Rule4.folderpattern: user/.*/Trash
Rule4.messagedays: 1
Rule5:regexp: 1
Rule5.folderpattern: user/.*/Inbox
Rule5.messagedays: 7
Rule6.regexp: 1
Rule6.folderpattern: user/.*/Sent
Rule6.messagedays: 7
Rule7.regexp: 1
Rule7.folderpattern: user/.*/Deleted Items
Rule7.messagedays: 1
It seems to purge the trash ok but no action on the inbox or sent yet. Any ideas?
My version is: libimta.so 6.2-7.05 (built 12:18:44, Sep 5 2006)
Thanks

I'd created about three weeks of a messages on this server prior to turning on the purge so they should be all legitimate messages and dates.
I ran a /imexpire -n -d -v 3
a snippet of the output. Seems to have deleted messages from the Sent and Trash but for some reason Inbox is left untouched. Sent has the exact same messagedays of 7 too.

P6 archiving old data

Hi,
Does any one have any experience of archiving old data to a read only database? Currently using SQL2000 and P6. Interested to know about problems encounted and any data integrity problems. Thanks

We suffer the same issue with archiving. One of our DBs is roughly 50GB in size and the time to restore it from backup alone is +6 hours , which does not include the time to pull tapes from off site. Our standard IS backup retention policy is only 6 months so what I end up with is literally hundreds of archive copies of a 20K+ activity schedule living in the production database (hence it's large size).
What we have done to try and contain the growth is every 6 months an Admin sends out an email to all users with a list of archive projects questioning which ones are still needed. Our end users then mark the archives for deletion or export. If deletion is selected the schedule is simply purged from the database. Export means the archive project is dumped to XER and burned to disc. The hope is that should we ever need to review an old archive copy that we can import it into a recent copy of the production DB. Luckily the need to bring one of these back has yet to occur.
Note: by archive project I am generally referring to either a baseline or what-if copy of a main schedule.

How do I use old data files with a new installation in Oracle 9i

I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
Thanks for any advice.

Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

Webi report gives old data in infoview on refresh

Hi Experts,
We are facing this strange issue on a webi report after some data updation in the SAP BW infocube.
The webi report is based on the universe which is connected to an infocube in our BW dev system. After some data updation in the cube, we had tested the report in webi rich client and everything was working fine (the newly updated data from cube was reflecting). Now, we had tested the same report in infoview, but it was showing the old data only. We had tried exporting the report once again to infoview, refreshed universe structure; but without any success.
What appeared to be even more strange was that the last refresh time was also not changing. While running the report in the infoview it hardly takes 40secs. But on refreshing it says the last refresh time was 5mins.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Arun.

it sounds like when you refresh report in Infoview you get the cached data, it never goes to the DB to fetch new one...
You'll need to enable traces on webi processing server as well as SOFA/MDX tracing and review log files to see if requests are going to db or not and what is being returned.
It could be at webi proc level or at your BW level.
You can also try disabling webi caching in webi proc server properties and see what happens.

Place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

I have forgotten my iPhone backup password. Is there a way of getting it as I am trying to load my old data from iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5?

If on a Mac, and you elected to save such to your Keychain, you can recover it from your Keychain. Otherwise, you can't.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.

How can I delete old data in citadel

How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

Hi there,
I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
Hope this helps
Roland

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

How to view the old data in a column if that column is dropped or rename

Using workspace manager I am not able to track the old data of a column which is dropped.
I have tried by using import and export features that Workspace manager have.. But import is not working properly in this case. And savepoint option is work with DML operation not with DDL.So, I want help in this matter
Thanks In Advance

No way even in 10g. You should build another DB and import your exported data.
then you can get data from this new DB.
