Script for automatic delete of archive logs/redologs

Hi Experts,
Do you have any idea on how to create a shell script. Actually the function of it, is to automatically deletes the archive logs/redologs if reaches the limit. Or is there any parameter to change to set the automatic deletion of archive logs/redologs.
Regards

Hi,
at first, archivelogs should always be saved to tape before you delete them. If you don't want to backup them, may be for a test system, you can suppress them in ORACLE instead to delete them later.
You can run the database in "NOARCHIVE LOG MODE". If you do so, the online redologs are not archived, they are still reused and overwritten. You can not run an online Backup, when the database is in noarchive log mode. If you want to backup the database, you have to run an offline backup.
Do not use the NOARCHIVE LOG MODE for production or developemet systems.
To change the archive log mode:
shutdown the database
startup mount;
alter database noarchivelog;
alter database open;
archive log list will show the actual status

*HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY*

HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY
I have set the RMAN CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY; on my physical standby server.
My archivelog files are not deleted on standby.
I have set the CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default on the Primary server.
I've checked the archivelogs with the FRA and they are not beign deleted on the STANDBY. Do I have to do something for the configuation to take effect? Like run a RMAN backup?
I've done a lot ofresearch and i'm getting mixed answers. Please help. Thanks in advanced.

Setting the Policy will not delete the Archive logs on the Standby. ( I found a thread where the Data Guard product manager says "The deletion policy on both sides will do what you want" ). However I still
like to clean them off with RMAN.
I would use RMAN to delete them so that it can use that Policy are you are protected in case of Gap, transport issue etc.
There are many ways to do this. You can simply run RMAN and have it clean out the Archive.
Example :
#!/bin/bash
# Name: db_rman_arch_standby.sh
# Purpose: Database rman backup
# Usage : db_rman_arch_standby <DBNAME>
if [ "$1" ]
then DBNAME=$1
else
echo "basename $0 : Syntax error : use . db_rman_full <DBNAME> "
exit 1
fi
. /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/env/${DBNAME}.env
echo ${DBNAME}
MAILHEADER="Archive_cleanup_on_STANDBY_${DBNAME}"
echo "Starting RMAN..."
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / catalog <user>/<password>@<catalog> << EOF
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-8';
exit
EOF
echo `date`
echo
echo 'End of archive cleanup on STANDBY'
mailx -s ${MAILHEADER} $MAILTO < /tmp/rmandbarchstandby.out
# End of ScriptThis uses ( calls an ENV) so the crontab has an environment.
Example ( STANDBY.env )
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ULIMIT=unlimited
ORACLE_SID=STANDBY
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0.2

How to find out who deleted the archive logs

Hi All,
Recently some archive logs were deleted from one of our servers. Is there any way to find out which user has deleted the archive logs through OS or through database ?
OS Version :-

Database Version:-

But you can probably find the history of OS command been run with history command :). You can get the date and time.

Scripts for adding/deleting/modifying Open Directory accounts?

I think I have searched high and low for an answer to this question, but if I missed it please point me in the right direction. Where can I find information on scripts for adding/deleting/modifying open directory accounts? At the very least, a command line utility with some syntax guidelines! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I personally don't know if any scripts although you can use the command line to do pretty much anything you want with the Open Directory. Consult the manual: man dscl. If you launch terminal and issue dscl you should see something like this:
my-Laptop:~ me$ dscl
dscl (v20.4)
usage: dscl [options] [<datasource> [<command>]]
datasource:
localhost (default) or
<hostname> (requires DS proxy support, >= DS-158) or
<nodename> (Directory Service style node name) or
<domainname> (NetInfo style domain name)
options:
-u <user> authenticate as user (required when using DS Proxy)
-P <password> authentication password
-p prompt for password
-raw don't strip off prefix from DS constants
-url print record attribute values in URL-style encoding
-q quiet - no interactive prompt
commands:
-read <path> [<key>...]
-create <record path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-delete <path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-list <path> [<key>]
-append <record path> <key> <val>...
-merge <record path> <key> <val>...
-change <record path> <key> <old value> <new value>
-changei <record path> <key> <value index> <new value>
-search <path> <key> <val>
-auth [<user> [<password>]]
-authonly [<user> [<password>]]
-passwd <user path> [<new password> | <old password> <new password>]
Entering interactive mode...
The above is for 10.4 and should server equally as well for 10.5.
Hope this helps, Tony

Delete standby archived log

I need to delete some standby archived log from my downstreams database but I not find the way, please help me.

If you are looking for an automatic way to delete them, then you can archive to a flash recovery area on the standby, which can act as a FIFO archivelog bucket:
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='+datadg' scope=both;
SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size=2G scope=both;
SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='location=use_db_recovery_file_dest' scope=both;
$ rman target /
RMAN> configure retention policy to redundancy 1;
RMAN> configure archivelog deletion policy to applied on standby;Of course substitute your own preferred values for above, use the RMAN catalog if you have one, and don't step on any pre-existing retention policy or FRA that you might wish to keep the way it is.

*009*Are these archives backed up ? The above command only updates the RMAN repository if in case the archives were delete manually at OS level.
I would recommend you to backup these archives and then delete them.
RMAN>backup archivelog all not backedup 1 times delete input;If these archives are already backed up and have not been deleted from the disk, then you can use the below command
RMAN>delete force noprompt archivelog all completed before 'SYSDATE-n';where "n" is the number of days behind the current date. Make sure to verify if these archives have been backed up before deleting.

VBA script for automatically indexing topics

A big disadvantage with InDesign's indexing system is that you cannot automatically index all occurences of topics currently in the index.
Instead, you have to find an occurence of each topic in the document itself and go to the Index menus and then click New Page Reference...Add All, for each index topic individually.
To get around this, I have been trying to produce a VBA script to automatically index all occurrences in a document of the topics currently in the document index.
I have been using the MS Excel VBA development environment but find the definitions of the object model in the Excel VBA browser rather inadequate and ambiguous .
Is there a more thorough reference work for these?
The plan was to start by taking each individual topic in the index which I tried to access with something along the lines of:
MyDocument.Index.Topic(1)
This hasn't worked.
The plan then was to take each index topic and use it to find an occurence in the document of that topic and then use that occurence to invoke the New Page Reference...Add All option to index all occcurences of that selected term, using something like:
MyDocument.PageReferences.Add
Again, without success.
Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Dear Peter,
Many thanks for your posting, that was very helpful.
This is the state of the script so far (I have added a large number of MsgBox entries - these aren't needed, they are just for debugging purposes during development):
'VBA script which tries to work through all of the topics in the index and automatically index each occurence of them in the current text frame:

    Set MyStory = MyTextFrame.ParentStory

'Generate the index:

Else
    MsgBox ("Please open a document, select an object, and try again.")
End If
End Function
There are a couple of problem areas still:
1. Index terms appear to be added irrespective of whether or not that particular page reference already exists in the index.
This can result in duplicate page references under each topic - especially if the script is run several times.
Is there any way of avoiding these duplicate references?
2. I haven't yet suceeded in getting the script to generate the index - so far I've had to do it manually after the script has run.
The problem lies somewhere in the code to set up the index options and then generate the index.
3. It might be useful to be able to limit the indexing to the curent story rather than the whole document - but I haven't yet got it to do that.
Best wishes.

How to delete old archived logs

hai i am running oracle 9i in archive log mode
my disk is about 90% full
pls tell me how to delete archive logs that are very older

Hi Rajeskm,
First of all, archives should not be deleted, depending your backup policie, you can need them in a recovery. But if you want delete them, do:
find <log_archive_dest>/ -name *.rdo (or extention used by you) mtime +<days ago> -exec rm{}\
Explanation:
Find -- The first, and most obvious, use is find's ability to locate old, big, or unused files, or files that you forgot where they are.
mtime -- The mtime--modify time--is the time when the actual contents of a file was last modified. This is the time displayed in a long directoring listing (ls -l).
rm -- Deletes a file without confirmation (by default).

Script for batch delet redundant layer

I have thousands files in the different folders, each file has same layer named “Job Info”. Can someone help me to write a script for del this layer folder by folder?
I expected the script tells me that I have to select a folder, then it can automatically open the files, del “job info” layer then save file, rewrite, close file

Hi Ashram,
Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Please try the below.
var folder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select the root folder");
var myfiles = [];
var _layers = ["test1", "test2", "test3"];
getsubfolderfiles(folder);
for(var i =0;i<myfiles.length;i++)
        var doc = app.open(myfiles[i],false);
        for(var j=0;j<_layers.length;j++)
            try
                app.activeDocument.layers.add({name:_layers[j]})
            catch(e){}
        doc.save();
        doc.close();
function getsubfolderfiles(folder)
    var filelist = folder.getFiles();
    for(var i =0;i<filelist.length;i++)
        if(filelist[i] instanceof Folder)
            getsubfolderfiles (filelist[i]);
        else if(filelist[i] instanceof File)
            if(filelist[i].name.indexOf(".indd") > -1){
                myfiles.push(filelist[i]);
Hi HarveyLiu,
Try this,
var folder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select the root folder");
var myfiles = [];

I accidently delete the archived log, how to recover?

There was old archived log file in a directory, I delete the directory, so when I backup whole archived log with RMAN, I often got error like this,
RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises recoverabiligy
ora-196525: error identifying file G:\oracle\oradata\archive\arc00081.001
I am using oracle 9.2 on windows XP

HI..
I delete the directory, so when I backup other archived log with RMAN, I often got error like this From metalink:-
Error:     RMAN-06059 (RMAN-6059)Text:     expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises
     recoverability
Cause:     The archived log was not found. The repository thinks it does
     exist. If the archived log has in fact been lost and there is no
     backup, then the database is no longer recoverable across the
     point in time covered by the archived log. This may occur because
     the archived log was removed by an outside utility without
     updating the repository.
Action:     If the archived log has been removed with an outside utility and
     the archivelog has already been backed up, then you can
     synchronize the repository by running CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL.
     If the archivelog has not been previously backed up, then you
     should take a full backup of the database and archivelogs to
     preserve recoverability. Previous backups are not fully
     recoverable.

Delete unwanted archive logs

We do only one way replication using stream. How do I find archive logs that can be deleted at source. Our destination runs nonarchive.

If you use RMAN - it is streams friendly and should know which logs can be purged.
Otherwise, I use the following query:
SELECT r.CONSUMER_NAME,
r.NAME,
r.FIRST_SCN,
r.NEXT_SCN,
case when (r.next_scn > c.required_checkpoint_scn) then ‘NO’ else ‘YES’ end purgable
FROM DBA_REGISTERED_ARCHIVED_LOG r, DBA_CAPTURE c
WHERE r.CONSUMER_NAME = c.CAPTURE_NAME;
According to Metalink note 373066.1 this is what RMAN does, so it should be safe.

For streams , database in Archive log mode or non archive log mode?

Hello ,
I have a basic question,
To set up oracle streams, what should be the the database mode (archive log or non archive log mode)?
Thanks in advance,
Raj

It needs to be in archive log mode..thts the place frm where it captures the necessary information....
