Sqlnet.log file creation permissions

One of my sites has a sqlnet.log file that has been symlinked to /dev/null and we are trying to determine if this has caused the issue with /dev/null's permissions being reset to 660 instead of 666.
It looks like the other sqlnet.log files that are not symlinked to /dev/null are 640 so we are not sure this is the issue.
Does anyone know if oracle changes permissions on the sqlnet.log file at creation or access time? And how it might change those permissions?
This is on Oracle 10g running on RHEL4
edit: I typed sqlnet.ora instead of sqlnet.log ... oops.
Edited by: user12198769 on Nov 10, 2009 7:35 AM

looks to be just the default in that file:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
There are several sqlnet.log files in other places on the server yet there is only one oracle home on here so is there another location that has sqlnet.ora info?

Fatal NI connect error 12203 resulting huge increase in sqlnet.log file

Hi,
I am getting the following error message in SQLNET.LOG file on the client machine. This is my upload program which takes few hours to complete and during the program run, the size of SQLNET.LOG file keeps on increasing and goes to 100's of MB and it contains only this error repeatedly.
But my program gets connected to Database and does the upload. But the size of SQLNET.LOG file grows like anything. Pls let me know what's going wrong.

Hi,
Actually I thought this error is appearing in only one of the machines, but when I am figuring out, I found the same error in almost all the client machines.
Though the programs are running fine getting the database connectivity, I am not able to find why it is giving error showing connection through BEQ protocol.
Pls someone tell me why this is happening and how I will find out which protocol it is using.

Ssd died with wife's data on it only able to salvage ,mdf file - Save a man's life ... how do I restore / attach / recreate log file - no permissions on new drive

         My wife asked me if I could create a VB program for her - load her data onto SQL Server to test her for some medical exams. Since I have been "playing" with both Visual Studio and SQL for over 10
years, I said sure. Copied her Excel file, transferred the data to SQL and started "playing".
       Play time ended abruptly the other day when my Solid State Drive died. I was only able to salvage the .MDF off the disk. Lost the log file and lost the Excel file. Yes, for all of my databases I had regularly scheduled
backups to another disk. I hadn't set that up for hers yet, thinking that the data was available on another computer altogether.
       No big deal, right? Just get the original Excel file back from the wife("Offsite backup") and reload the data from Excel. Problem ... she deleted the file 2 months ago thinking I had the data, and there is no
recovery as the sectors where that data was located on her hard disk have since been overwritten.
      As to my situation: I told here that things were "going fine" and that I just had a couple more things to recover and we would be back up in business. Thinking that Dangling from a bar over a tank of great whites
with a freshly cut hand might be preferable to telling her that I just fried over 300 hours of her hard to come by, time, by assuming the data was safe.
       From what I can tell, the .MDF file is intact. I have nothing else, and that was attached to a database on what was essentially another computer. Yes, I "Assumed" I had good backups. Yes, I have learned my lesson.
Please save a man's life and help me out.

                   I had my disk die with the only copy of my wife’s medical “Question and Answer”
(Q_And_A) database on it. She thought it was safe and sound on my computer, and I thought we had an “Off site” backup of the data on hers and hadn’t set up backup for it.
1.)
The bad things are, only the .mdf file was intact.
2.)
All of the permissions based on the old copy of Windows 7 and SQL 2005 or 2008 ( I am not sure which the .mdf was created in.) have gone the way of the dodo.
       Bought a new disk. Reloaded windows 7 64 bit. Loaded SQL 2014 (Thought now was a good time to upgrade.) Problem
… so far I have not been able to attach and recreate the log file …
          Just to finish up the data I have, the database was closed properly and is NOT in a read
only state according to file properties. That said, I still don’t have a solution.
So far I tried these three sets of commands:
CREATE DATABASE
Q_And_A
ON
(FILENAME
=
N'E:\Mikes 128GB\SQL2014\MSSQL12.SQL2014\MSSQL\DATA\Q_And_A.mdf')
FOR
ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG
GO
And this set of commands:
CREATE DATABASE
Q_And_A
ON
FILENAME
=
N'E:\Mikes 128GB\SQL2014\MSSQL12.SQL2014\MSSQL\DATA\Q_And_A.mdf')
FOR
ATTACH
GO
EXEC
sp_attach_single_file_db
@dbname='Q_And_A', @physname=N'E:\Mikes 128GB\SQL2014\MSSQL12.SQL2014\MSSQL\DATA\Q_And_A.mdf'
GO
         So far this is the computer’s reply to everything I have thrown at it. I haven’t told my wife that 600 hours
of her work is inaccessible, and I would really rather not do so. Anything anyone can offer would be great.
File activation failure. The physical file name "E:\Mikes 128GB\SQL2014\MSSQL12.SQL2014\MSSQL\DATA\Q_And_A_log.ldf" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt because there were open transactions/users when the database was shutdown, no checkpoint occurred to the database, or the database
was read-only. This error could occur if the transaction log file was manually deleted or lost due to a hardware or environment failure.
Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'Q_And_A'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
          Is there anything else anyone out there can offer as help? My wife has often said that
she doesn’t believe in divorce. But murder she will consider. If she loses 600 hours of her data this could be my last post. I am joking … I think … That said, any help is extremely welcome. Thanks in advance.

Log File Creation Confusion

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Mon Mar 11 11:42:45 2013
Copyright (c) 1982, 2006, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.There are some initialization parameters that decide the location of the online redo log files in general.These initialization parameters are
- DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n
- DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
- DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST
I could not understand the level of precedence of these parameters if you set each of them for creating online logfile, if i set all these parameter then creating online log file always goes to the path which define in parameter DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n and ignores the others parameter (DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST,DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST).
If i just set the last two parameter (DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST,DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST) and do not set the DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n the logfile created in both location DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST,DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST) with mirrored mechanisim.

'DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n'?

DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST is used if DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n is not defined.
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is used for multiplexed log files.
Thus, if Oracle uses DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST (because DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n is not defined), it multiplexes the log file to DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST if DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is also defined.
If, however, DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1 is used, Oracle expects you to define DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2 as well for multiplexing the log file; else it assumes that you do not want the log file multiplexed. The fact that the parameter ends with an n means that Oracle uses the n=2 f or the multiplexed location if defined.

Disable Log file creation for a Berkeley DB database

Hi,
I'm using Berkeley DB 6 with Oracle Mobile Server 11.3. When I sync a lot of data, a lot of logfile are created and I think that this is really slowing down my sync process. Since I never need to recover those client database, I would like to know if it is possible to disable log creation on a Berkeley Database?
Thank you

The version of BDB that is used for DMS is TDS (Transaction Data Store). In that environment, logging is needed to ensure recoverability. There isnt a way to disable logging. If you never need to do recovery, then you can use the BDB utilities and occasionally do checkpoints which will flush the cache, or you can shut down the client application. After this is done then you can remove the log files, since you are claiming that you will not need them for recovery.
thanks
mike

Exchange Server 2010 - Message Tracking Logs - Log file creation

Hi,
I would like to find out on the behavior of the exchange server in the way that it logs the message tracking.
Currently the parameter used is
MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize - 10GBMessageTrackingLogMaxAge - 30daysI would like to check when the Max Directory Size has exceeded the value indicated, does Exchange server immediately deletes the oldest log file to make space for the new logs?And in the event that the oldest file is being open or locked, will exchange server delete the next oldest file? or it will reattempt to delete the "locked" file for a period of time?Lastly, when these "oldest" files is not able to be deleted, will exchange server stops logging new tracking events?Thanks!

Hi Zack,
Thank you for your question.
If you have configured the parameter of “MessageTrackingLogMaxDirectorySize” and “MessageTrackingLogMaxAge”, we think you have enable circular logging, it will delete the oldest message tracking log files for new log file when the either of the following
conditions is true:
The message tracking log directory reaches its specified maximum size.
A message tracking log file reaches its specified maximum age.
In addition, it didn’t exceeded the value indicated.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Log file creation -- BDC

Hi friends.This is Sudhir . I have a scenario of loading mass vendor data. If in case any error occurs while loading the error record should be created as log file. Do we have any function module to create the log file?
Hope your answers will be helpful to proceed further.
With regards ,
Sudhir S

Are you looking a way for generating logs as the ones you can see in SLG0?
You can also store them into a spool.
To store them into a file, you can simply read the spool output (or you can maybe use a SUBMIT ... EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY to avoid the spool).
In that case, please refer to [sap library|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/d3/1fa03940fab918e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

JDBC driver log file generation on v8i

I want to know if there is a means to generate the log files for JDBC driver transactions similar to sqlnet.log file which gets created when the OCI connection is used between the client and server.
Where should this be done - on the client/server side? Is there a means to enable it without touching any of native Java code by enabling it through Server/Client side setting?
thanks

Hi Randy,
I got the same problem and I fixed it using the "netasst" (for
solaris) or Net8 Assistant (for windows).
Within the Assistant select your Service Naming (mydbname as in
your exemple), in the right site check the "Use Oracle8i Release
8.0 Compatible Identification" box. This will enable the SID
field, enter there your "mydmname" and save this new
configuration.
Exit the Assistant and test your connect string.
I hope this will fix your problem.

Query on sqlnet.log

Hi Experts,
Whenever any network issues or something happens so that connection between client and Oracle server has lost.
Can that information store in client sqlnet.log file or do need to set some settings so that it'll write into sqlnet.log.
Why i am asking this is we have an issues today i got one error
ORA-12571 - TNS: Packet Writer Failure
in one of our process log file. So want to know is this a network issues or any other issues ??

Hi Sybrand,
Thanks for your quick response. I have below one concern
Errors, orginating at the client, automatically are written to sqlnet.log
i dont see any sqlnet.log file in client ORACLE_HOME/network/admin location. That means from client side everything was ok when the issue occurred ??
sqlnet.log files aren't always written to ORACLE_HOME/network/anything. I've seen them show up in the 'current' directory of the client process that created the error.

Listener log file trimming

Hi all,
I have a production database on HP-UX server. and in my /oracle directory, i have the listener.log and sqlnet.log files.
as the size of the the oracle directory increased, i have trimmed the listener.log and sqlnet.log files. those are trimmed but,
the percent used in the oracle drive has increased instead of decrease.
i used this command to trim
listener.log
sqlnet.logtotal used free
/dev/vgdb/lvol1 76808192 19619397 53615115 27% /oracle -- before trimming

pls. advice me in this regard.

hi,
thanks for the reply.
i trim the listener.log file, after trimming it is writing in the file. but, my used space in mount point is increased. what would be the possible reason for increase ?? . I checked the other files, but i didnot see any increase in size.
