Questions regarding Alert log & Control file
Hello,
This is my first post to this forum. I'm new at administrating a database 11.2.0.3. I have couple of questions regarding Oracle DB.
1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
That depends on your comfortability - But checking alert log is good.
2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
Yes - you cannot recover your database if it set zero and doesn't have recovery catalog. -
Automatic deletion of old archive files and trace files
I've got a database that must run 24x7 without being monitored by a DBA.
Two questions:
1. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete and uncatalog old archive files?
2. Is it possible to get Oracle to automatically delete old trace files located in udump and bdump?
Thanks in advance1. When you say 'uncatalog old archives do you mean that your database is backed up using RMAN and a catalog? If this is the case then RMAN can delete the backed up archives for you. Just add 'delete input' to the end of the 'backup archive log...' line in your backup script.
2. Oracle can't delete the trace files. Best way is to write a script that delete all files older than X days and schedule it to run every night. -
Hi

Additional information: 4Hello looks like when backing up database using RMAN it did not find the archivelogs hence you got the errors. Try doing "Crosscheck archivelog all" and see.
-Sri
<< Symptoms >>
Archivelog backup using RMAN failed with error :
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 08/18/2005 14:51:16
RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises recoverability

ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
Additional information: 3
<<Cause>>
RMAN get the information about what archivelog files are required to back up from the v$archived_log view.
RMAN cannot find the file archivelog in the archivelog destination. So itscannot continue taking the backup because this file does not exist.
<<Solution>>
Check if the archivelog exist in the log archive destination. If the is moved to some other location then restore the file back to its original location and then do RMAN back.
else
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
After the crosscheck all take the rman backup. -
Timestamp in Java log and trace files.
Hi SAP'ies
Running PI 7.11 on AIX 6.3 we face an issue with the content of log and trace files from Java.
Eg.
The file DefaultTrace_00.0.trc is timestamped 18-05-10 11:16:15. (The same time as the time of the OS/AIX)
Looking inside the file the last statement is timestamped 2010 05 18 09:16:15.
How can we ensure that the content of these Java files are timestamped with OS time?
Looking into ABAP files like dev_w0 the timestamp of the file and the content are equal.
Best regards,
Teddy Løv AndersenHello All
Best way to convert the default trace time is , visit the site
http://www.csgnetwork.com/epochtime.html
here enter , for example if you have the following in default trace
#1.#00265510DE7300120000000F000022030004C77AD7309DF5#1345230317066#com.sap.portal.fpn.rdl
1345230317066 is time stamp , enter this in the above site to get the time

How to configure logs and trace files
Hello people,
We have just implemented ESS-MSS, we have around 25000 people using this service and every 2 days my logs and trace file in server gets full and portal gets down.
Please suggest how to solve this problem,how can i reduce trace and log files,,,,,any configuration or setting is there to configure this...please suggest and explain how can it be done.
BirenHi,
You can control what messages gets logged depending on the severity.
This can be configured using Log Configurator, check this how you can set severity to different locations.
Netweaver Portal Log Configuration & Viewing (Part 1)
Regards,
Praveen Gudapati -
Hello experts, for our Netweaver AS administration, I am in charge of periodically checking logs and trace files. I would like to know which are the most useful logs and trace files and the information each one will hold. I am familiar with "DefaultTrace.trc", and as of today it is the only one I have used, but I believe I should also be looking at other logs and trace files.
Any suggestions?Hi Pedro,
If you are talking about JAVA only system defaulttrace is the best log/trace to look, there are other log files like application log, but maybe the best way to check you logs is using NWA (NetWeaver Administrator) on the following URL on your JAVA system:
http://<hostname>:<port>/nwa
From there you need to go to Monitoring -> Logs and Traces and then Predefined View/SAP logs.
My other recommendation is to change the severity level to ERROR for all you JAVA component within the Visual Administrator -> ServeNode -> Services -> Log Configurator -> Locations, otherwise it is possible that you see a lot of garbage on the defaulttraces. Anyway you can change the severity level per component, on demand, to investigate any possible problem.
The work directory is very imporant and maybe you can also check the file "dev_serverX" that also will give you information about any out of memory conditions and garbage collection activity if you have these values set for the server node using the config tool:
-verbose:gc
-XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
You can find more information on here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/e9d8a51c732e42bd0e7de54b9ff4e2/content.htm
Hopefully this help you, let me know if you need more information,

External portal capturing internal portal URL in Log and trace file
Hi,
We are facing one issue in portal like we have two portals for internal (Intranet) and external (Internet) users.
Once users logged in the application and try to get the information about mylink from the external portal link (internet) they should not get any information about the internal portal.
But in log and trace file we can see the external portal link capturing the internal portal URL.
We need to find, from where system capturing the internal portal URL.
Thanks.The tkproffed trace file is in seconds.
"set timing" is in hh:mi:ss.uu format. So 00:00:01.01 is 1.01 seconds.
You have to remember that most of these measurements are rounded. While your trace file says it contains one second of trace data, you know it's more.
One excellent resource for trace files is "Optimizing Oracle Performance" by Cary Millsap & Jeff Holt. (http://www.amazon.com/Optimizing-Oracle-Performance-Cary-Millsap/dp/059600527X ) I thought I knew trace files before, but this book brings your knowledge to a whole new level.
There is also an excellent WP by Cary Millsap ( http://method-r.com/downloads/doc_details/10-for-developers-making-friends-with-the-oracle-database-cary-millsap ) that gives you some insight. -
How to clear the alertlog and trace file?
since the database was created,the log and trace file have't been cleared.how to clear the alertlog and trace file?3tx!!
Hi Friend.
You can eliminate all the files ".TRC" (trace files) to purify the directory BDUMP. These are not necessary files in order that the Oracle Server works.
The file Alert.log is a file that the Oracle Server can recreate if you eliminate it. When Oracle Server's process realizes certain action (for example ARCH), Oracle creates again the file (if it does not exist), or it adds text (if it exists) with the new income.
It can happen, that appears some Bug if the file Alert.log does not exist. Though this is slightly possible.
Anyhow I recommend to you in UNIX to use from the prompt: $> filename in order to take the size of the file to 0 bytes, without need to eliminate it. Is the same thing when you want to purify the listener.log, the sqlnet.log or the sbtio.log.
I wait for my commentaries you be of great help.

Printing messages in Log File and Output File using Dbms_output.put_line
Hi,
I have a requirement of printing messages in log file and output file using dbms_output.put_line instead of fnd_file.put_line API.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
I tried using a function to print messages and calling that function in my main package where ever there is fnd_file.put_line. But this approach is not required by the business.
So let me know how I can achieve this functionality.

Is anyone aware of why we should not delete audit and trace files under the oracle admin directory that are over 30 days old? I don't know that there is anything in place to do this and they are building up. Tuldcorpadb01:/oracle is at 96%. These files aren't that big, but there are a lot of them. See counts below.
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd> cd admin
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd>find . -name \*.aud -type f -ctime +30 -ls|wc -l
25149
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd>find . -name \*.trc -type f -ctime +30 -ls|wc -
2426Move older audit files to a different filesystem until you find someone being able to define what files can be deleted.

Generation of .ecs file and .xsd file
Hi,
I am working on the Acme-GlobalChips tutorial Query using File 1.0 protocol.
I have few question on that.
While creating the Business actions and Trading partner IN B2B we use two 850.ecs and 850.xsd.Can these be used for all the trading partners or they are partner specific.If not then do we develop it using Document Editor.
Moreover if after we create the .ecs using the tool can we generate the .xsd file using same tool.
I have this doubt because I used the .ecs file provide with the tutorial and used EDI file provide by some other partner it worked.I mean I was able to generate the EDI-Xml as payload in reports section of B2B.
Can some help me on this.
Regards
LalitHi Lalit,
1. Yes. Different Trading partners can use the same Business action. However, you can also override the .ecs file and .xsd file as per your requirement.
2. We can also generate .xsd files using the Document editor.
