Rename alert log

Hi there, I have an interesting and frustrating problem. I need to rename my alert log as it has got to a very large size but windows has decided that is not allowed. I have had to shutdown all processes and reboot the server for it to allow me to rename the file.
The same thing has happened again this morning when I have tried to rename it.
Is there some way of releasing these hooks???

OK this is for the benefit of my friend in Spain :0P
I have Windows 2003 server with 10.2 Application server installed. The problem I have is I cannot do anything with the alert.log. I cannot delete,move or rename the file as windows says it in use by another process.
The only way I have been able to do anything is to shutdown ALL oracle processes and setting them to manual. Then rebooting the server. This has allowed me to remove the 4.5gb file that was causing space issues.
Now the problem has arisen again the following day. I would dearly love to be able to keep a weekly alert log but this cannot happen until the problem is resolved.

Alert log monitor help

Hello,
I am very new to shell scripting. Our DB is 10g on AIX. And i wanted to setup something that will monitor my alertlog and send me e-mail out. And i found this online. But have very little knowledge on cronjob. I can set one up. But this script dont tell what goes here. Here is the script that i found online. So if anyone could give me what goes where i would be thankfull. it does says put the check_alert.awk someplace. But is that where the cron comes in place. i mean do i schedule check_alert.awk in my cronjob ??? Just wanted to know what parts goes where and how to set this up the right way so i get e-mail alert for my alert log. a step - step process would be good. Thanks
UNIX shell script to monitor and email errors found in the alert log. Is ran as the oracle OS owner. Make sure you change the "emailaddresshere" entries to the email you want and put the check_alert.awk someplace. I have chosen $HOME for this example, in real life I put it on as mounted directory on the NAS.

The referenced awk script (check_alert.awk). You can modify it as needed to add or remove things you wish to look for. The ERROR_AUDIT is a custom entry that a trigger on DB error writes in our environment.
$0 ~ /Errors in file/ {print $0}
$0 ~ /PMON: terminating instance due to error 600/ {print $0}
$0 ~ /Started recovery/{print $0}
$0 ~ /Archival required/{print $0}
$0 ~ /Instance terminated/ {print $0}
$0 ~ /Checkpoint not complete/ {print $0}
$1 ~ /ORA-/ { print $0; flag=1 }
$0 !~ /ORA-/ {if (flag==1){print $0; flag=0;print " "} }
$0 ~ /ERROR_AUDIT/ {print $0}
I simply put this script into cron to run every 5 minutes passing the SID of the DB I want to monitor.

I have a PERL script that I wrote that does exactly what you want and I'll be glad to share that with you along with the CRON entries.
The script runs opens the current alert_log and searches for key phrases and send e-mail if it finds anything. It then sleeps for 60 sec, wakes up and reads from were it left off to the bottom of the file, searching again and then sleeping. The only down side is it keeps a file handle open on the alert_log, so you have to kill this processes if you want to rename or delete the alert_log.

Removing alert logs and trace files

Hi everyone!
I noticed that in all the oracle databases, the trace files are piling and alert log is growing like anything ....
Thought of making a copy of the trace files somewhere and remove them from the hard disk excluding the most recent ones.
For alert log, thought of making a copy and renaming the current file so that Oracle can create a new one.
Any advice if there are better approaches in handling this?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.I would include the alert log file in my backup strategy as it includes many important information; database parameter values,when and how the database was shut down, the important database errors and when they occur , etc ... I usually backup the alert log file once a month and keep 1 year of alert log file copies..

Oracle 9i (SE) Solaris 9 (Alert.log file)

Hi Guys,
How do I clean up my alert.log file. Do I have to delete it completely or only delete the content of the file.
Thank you.

Laura Gaigala wrote:
Why You want to clean up it? Too large or some other reasons?
If You have some planned db restart, then during restart rename archive.log and upon startup it will be created automaticaly again.
If no restart is planned, then delete it's content, but before that make a copy of alert.log. Just in order You will need to find something.Actually, I've found that it is quite safe to rename the alert.log right out from under a running database. It will simply start a new one with the next message to be written. However, I agree it is much nicer to do this housekeeping while the db is down, so that the first entry in an alert log is the startup.
This renameing of the log against a running process does not work for the listener log. I've found that if I rename listener.log to listener.log.1, the listener will continue to log to the original file (now listener.log.1) until such time as it is restarted. THEN it will start a new listener.log.
This was all on unix. Windows may behave differently.

Alert log file of the database is too big

Dear Experts?
Let me update you that we are in process of doing an R12.1 upgrade ? And Our Current Instance is running on the 11.5.10 with 9.2.0.6 ?
We have the below challenges before going for an database upgrade ?
We have observed that the customer database alert_SID.log (9.2.0.6) size is 2.5GB ? how to purge this file ? Please advise
Please also note that our Instance is running on the Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 update 8

Mohammed.Rename the alert logfile. once you rename the logfile another alert log file will create and being populated with time, and later you can delete it old alert log file . it doesnot harm your database.

Separate alert log for every day

Hi,
Apart from regular alert_SID_.log file, can i configure alert log something like :
alert_SID_StartDateAndTime_EndDateAndTime.log
I mean can i configure separate aler log for 12.00 AM to 11.59 PM everyday, because :
1.It will easy to have separate alert log; so that if i have to send it i can send.
2.It will record all message in separate file, so that we may know that on which date, what db actions have been performed etc.
Thanks,

You could achieve this with a simple cron job, as indicated by CKPT, to rename the existing alert.log to required format.If you please show an exmple, it will help me to understand it

On a side note,
1.It will easy to have separate alert log; so that if i have to send it i can send.Where do you need to send the alert log on daily basis?Sometime if client ask it.
How will you send the alert log for last one month, if required? Wouldn't that be simpler with just one file?
Ofcourse, sending one file is easy than many, but many have separate info as well.
2.It will record all message in separate file, so that we may know that on which date, what db actions have been performed etc.Alert log already has a timestamp included, so I don't see how this will benefit you.
Still, if there is dbms_separate_alert_log (assumed new feature for Oracle 12g), i think it may be helpful to us.
Its a general practice to review the alert log on daily basis and keep only the "required" (definition changes per individual) information in the file. Personally, I prefer to have a complete backup of the alert log contents in a separate file and stripped out version of alert log as current one.Currently i am using 10.2.0.1 on windows xp.
Thanks,

Alert Log Management

Hi All
My database is on Windows machine OS version MS Windows 2003 SP2 64 bit with genuine intel processor from EM 64T family. The alert log is expected to capture all error messages and for a DBA it points one of the most important trouble shooting areas if any problem with the database is referred to .. also does it grow continuously as the database ages in time ..
Earlier on UNIX machines I used to backup the alert log file for future referance and then would trim the file size so that it wont grow beyond manageable limits.. I was using vi editor, cp command and other unix filters like head etc..
but on windows we do not have the filters .. neither could I open the alert log file trim the top few lines and save it so that its size is still manageable by the os.. I am at the moment clueless as to how could I do this activity.. I was doing some google offlate and learnt that for listener log, we have some options like
lsnrctl set file_name <NEW LOG FILE_NAME>
to refresh the listener log to a new file and thus avoid it growing huge in size. Do we have any such fascility for managing alert log as well? It would not always be possible to shut down the database just to trim the alert log file.. and on windows I am not sure about other options..
Thank you ..
Sarat.

Here is from a previous post:

Delete content in alert.log file

hii,
Presently, i am working at oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server.
alter.log file size is 432 MB around which take several time time to open.
so, how can i delete content form alert.log file to reduce size
Regards
Vaibhav

Hi,
No need to delete contents of alertlog.
just rename the alert log file or copy to another location and delete old one,then it will automatically creates new alert log file with format alert_<sid>.log
note:
no need of database bounce.

Alert log rotation/OS Audit log rotation

Hi all,
Is there away that I can fix of my audit and alert log size to 100Mb and it will just reuse or rotate around it?
Or can manipulate it thru OS programs?
Thanks,
zxy

You can limit the OS audit file size using the package called DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT
Refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/d_audit_mgmt.htm
However, for limitting alert log file size, you need to setup a OS job, which periodically checks the alert log file size and then does a rename of the alert log file.

Purging the ALERT LOG

Hi,
I am using RDBMS : 9.2.0.6.0 on AIX 5.3 platform.
I want to purge my alter log file as it is never been purged and is almost contains the entry of past 1 year.
Can you please provide me the way to do it?
Thanks
Shivank

If there is no alert log the database will create another one, so you can remove/delete the alert log file.
If you don't want to delete the alert log file. You can rename it while the database is down. So it will create and use a new alert log file.
You can also empty the file as follows;
cp -p alert.log alert.log.date (backing up the alert log file)
echo ""> alert.log (empty the alert log file)
You can also use as follows;
tail -3000 alert_test01.log > alert_test01.log_new (this will take last 3000 lines).
Additionally specifying your O/S would be helpful.

Trim the alert log?

i have a alert log in <grid home>/log/<node>/alert<node>.log that is growing in size and is also owned by root. is this just like a DB alert log and if I rename it a new one will be created. i'm not sure how to maintenance this log file and I don't want to guess - any suggestions or documentation are appreciated.
thanks.

You can use the ADRCI to manage (purge,etc..) the logs of Oracle.

Error in the alert Log

Hi There,
Recently I started seeing these errors in the alert log for one of the databases:
Tue Aug 04 05:05:00 2009
Errors in file c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\xxxxxx\bdump\xxxxxx_j000_6104.trc:

I'm not sure what job is causing this as there is no reference and also not sure how to resolve this issue!! How can I properly trace back these errors? Any ideas or tips to what should I do?
I'm running 10.2.0.3 database on windows 2003 server.
Thanks

I found the problem.. the executable job was referring to a none existing batch file..
I have refreshed the database from production some time ago and the jobs I have setup are referring to production scripts and paths (which we didnt have on dev)..
This is now resolved.
Thanks

Change of date in alert log

Hi
Oracle Version 10.2.0.3.0
Last friday we had a power failure and a server rebooted abruptly. After it came online I restarted the database and the db did a instance recovery and came online without any problems. However when I checked the alert log file I noticed that the date & timestamp has gone back 14 days. This was there for a while and then it started showing the current date & timestamp. Is that normal? If it's not could some one help me to figure out why this has happened?

yes, you are right. I just found that the server was shutdown for more than 4 hours and server came back online @ 8:08pm and I think within few minutes those old timestamp appeared in the alertlog. We have a table which captures current timestamp from the db and timestamp from application and usually both columns are same. But following are the rows inserted during the time of the issue. Not sure why this has happened. One more thing is that the listener was started and on while database was starting and performing instance recovery.

ORA-01403: no data found in alert.log

Dear All,
I am getting ORA-01403: no data found in alert.log.Could you pls help me out what could be reasons behind it..Due to this i m getting loads of alerts.Pls suggest.
Thanks

ORA-01403 No Data Found
Typically, an ORA-01403 error occurs when an apply process tries to update an existing row and the OLD_VALUES in the row LCR do not match the current values at the destination database.
Typically, one of the following conditions causes this error:
Supplemental logging is not specified for columns that require supplemental logging at the source database. In this case, LCRs from the source database might not contain values for key columns. You can use a DML handler to modify the LCR so that it contains the necessary supplemental data. See "Using a DML Handler to Correct Error Transactions". Also, specify the necessary supplemental logging at the source database to prevent future errors.
There is a problem with the primary key in the table for which an LCR is applying a change. In this case, make sure the primary key is enabled by querying the DBA_CONSTRAINTS data dictionary view. If no primary key exists for the table, or if the target table has a different primary key than the source table, then specify substitute key columns using the SET_KEY_COLUMNS procedure in the DBMS_APPLY_ADM package. You also might encounter error ORA-23416 if a table being applied does not have a primary key. After you make these changes, you can reexecute the error transaction.
The transaction being applied depends on another transaction which has not yet executed. For example, if a transaction tries to update an employee with an employee_id of 300, but the row for this employee has not yet been inserted into the employees table, then the update fails. In this case, execute the transaction on which the error transaction depends. Then, reexecute the error transaction.
There is a data mismatch between a row LCR and the table for which the LCR is applying a change. Make sure row data in the table at the destination database matches the row data in the LCR. When you are checking for differences in the data, if there are any DATE columns in the shared table, then make sure your query shows the hours, minutes, and seconds. If there is a mismatch, then you can use a DML handler to modify an LCR so that it matches the table. See "Using a DML Handler to Correct Error Transactions".
Alternatively, you can update the current values in the row so that the row LCR can be applied successfully. If changes to the row are captured by a capture process at the destination database, then you probably do not want to replicate this manual change to destination databases. In this case, complete the following steps:
Set a tag in the session that corrects the row. Make sure you set the tag to a value that prevents the manual change from being replicated. For example, the tag can prevent the change from being captured by a capture process.
EXEC DBMS_STREAMS.SET_TAG(tag => HEXTORAW('17'));
In some environments, you might need to set the tag to a different value.
Update the row in the table so that the data matches the old values in the LCR.
Reexecute the error or reexecute all errors. To reexecute an error, run the EXECUTE_ERROR procedure in the DBMS_APPLY_ADM package, and specify the transaction identifier for the transaction that caused the error. For example:
EXEC DBMS_APPLY_ADM.EXECUTE_ERROR(local_transaction_id => '5.4.312');
Or, execute all errors for the apply process by running the EXECUTE_ALL_ERRORS procedure:
EXEC DBMS_APPLY_ADM.EXECUTE_ALL_ERRORS(apply_name => 'APPLY');
If you are going to make other changes in the current session that you want to replicate destination databases, then reset the tag for the session to an appropriate value, as in the following example:
EXEC DBMS_STREAMS.SET_TAG(tag => NULL);
In some environments, you might need to set the tag to a value other than NULL.

Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager console giving Alert log

Dear all
I have One HP server running Oracle 10g on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and two other systems with Oracle 9i and 8i. I have written sql query in my Oracle10g system which updates the database in 9i.
The sql statement is
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ADASNAP REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE NEXT SYSDATE+1 AS
SELECT * FROM ADA@WCMMISLINK;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW BGTABSNAP REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE NEXT SYSDATE+1 AS
SELECT * FROM BGTAB@WCMMISLIN;
The above query is sheduled to run every day .
and i get the following Alert log in 10g enterprise manager console
Generic Alert log ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 54
ORA-04052: error occured when looking up remote object WCMM.SYS@WCMMSERVERLINK
ORA-00604: error occured at recursive SQL level 3
ORA-12514: tns no listener
ORA-06512: AT "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT" line 1883
can you guid me why the above error are occuring
the ORA-12514: tns no listener
the above error why it is occuring , then listener is running on oracle 10g server and other 8i and 9i server also and i am able to connect from oracle10g to other oracle 8i and 9i from sql plus and viceversa..
what could be the problem with tns listener
Regards
Niranjan

Hi Ugonic
Sorry both are same, it's spelling mistake it's " WCMMISLINK". Acutally, my database is getting updated but this alert log is getting generated in enterprise manager console of 10g.
The sql statement is

SELECT * FROM ADA@WCMMISLINK;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW BGTABSNAP REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE NEXT SYSDATE+1 AS
SELECT * FROM BGTAB@WCMMISLINK;
The above query is sheduled to run every day .
and i get the following Alert log in 10g enterprise manager console
Generic Alert log ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 54
