Tempdb log file is full

Hi DBA's,
my tempdb log file is 500mb size , auto growth enabled and log file used max.
now I am unable to insert or update and it is allowing only read operations.
what to do in this situation ?

is it 500 mb or gb??
either way, 500mb is too small and 500 gb is too big for a log file and you need fix that.
if it is 500 mb, i would not worr much but increase the file size. do you have space on the existing disk to accomddate some growth to the log file.
if not, can you add nother log file on another disk and presize it correctly(to more optimal size)
and when possible , remove the old 500mb log file and restart the server. you do not necessarily need multiple log file drives.
if it is 500 GB, there must some large open transactions and may be the growth was linear.
to find the current size of tempdb
sp_helpdb 'TempDB'
select Name,((size*8)/1024) as SIZE_IN_MB from Tempdb.sys.database_files
Hope it Helps!!

this is because of a problem at the WS server (it might mostly be a windows server).
You can request the WS team to have a look into this issue. it is not a PI problem.

Hi,
It seems that the audit log mechanism is activated, at your system. But, if you didn't set the parameter DIR_AUDIT, audit log will be created under "/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/log", not "data" folder. You can check its default value on RZ11. Revise the parameters, below;
DIR_AUDIT = <path>
FN_AUDIT = audit_++++++++.AUD
rsau/enable = 1
rsau/max_diskspace/local = <SizeOfFile>

What will happen if log file is full

Hi All,
I have a doubt.
I have one user db called monitorindb. If log is full in this db, it will make server to shutdown?

Hi All,

NO Server cannot shutdown due to log file getting filled for a database.Application might crash which is accessing this database.Or if a transaction is running it will stop and and will try to rollback but will not be able to as log will not grow ,so this can
cause DB in recovery

Database Log File getting full by Reindex Job

Hey guys
I have an issue with one of my databases during Reindex Job. Most of the time, the log file is 99% free, but during the Reindex job, the log file fills up and runs out of space, so the reindex job fails and I also get errors from the DB due to log
file space. Any suggestions?

Please note changing to BULK LOGGED recovery will make you loose point in time recovery. Because alter index rebuild would be minimally logged and for the time period this job is running you loose point in time recovery so take step accordingly. Plus you
need to take log backup after changing back to Full recovery
I guess Ola's script would suffice if not you would have to increase space on drive where log file is residing. Index rebuild is fully logged in full recovery.

Unable to delete records as the transaction log file is full

My disk is running out of space and as a result I decided to free some space by deleting old data. I tried to delete 100,000 by 100,000 as there are 240 million records to be deleted. But I am unable to delete them at once and shrinking the database doesn't
free much space. This is the error im getting at times.
The transaction log for database 'TEST_ARCHIVE' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
How can I overcome this situation and delete all the old records? Please advice.
mayooran99

In order to delete the SQL Server need to write the information in the log file, and you do not have the place for those rows in the log file. You might succeeded to delete less in each time -> next backup the log file each time -> next shrink the
log file... but this is not the way that I would chose.
Best option is probably to add another disc (a simple disk do not cost a lot), move the log file there permanently. It will increase the database work as well (it is highly recommend not to put the log file on the same disk as the data file in most cases).
If you can't add new disk permanently then add one temporary. Then add file to the database in this disk -> create new table in this disk -> move all the data that you do
not want to delete to the new table -> truncate the current table -> bring back the data om the new table -> drop the new table and the new file to release the temporary disk.
Are you using full mode or simple recovery mode ?
* in full mode you have to backup the log file if you want to shrink it

Redo log file is full or not

Hi everybody,
In Oracle I wanna know the current capacity of a log group, so I will know/estimate when it will be switched. For example, I have three log groups 1, 2 and 3, each log group has only 1 member of size 10MB. So I want to check how full the current log group is? 1MB, 3MB or 7MB... When it's 9MB I know it's going to switch.
But currently I can't find the solution. I see the LAST_REDO_BLOCK in v$thread. v$thread presents status of current log group. When I do 'alter system switch logfile', LAST_REDO_BLOCK resets to 0 and increase slowly. I try to create table and insert multi rows, and LAST_REDO_BLOCK increase fast. So anybody can tell me if LAST_REDO_BLOCK is the current number of blocks in the current log group, and I can calculate the current size of a log group? If not, any possible solutions?
Sorry for my bad English and thank you for reading.

SQL Server 2012 Reorg Index Job Blew up the Log File

We have a maintenance plan that nightly (1) runs dbcc checkdb on all databases, (2) reorgs indexes on all databases, compacting large objects, (3) updates statistics, etc. There are three user databases, one large, one medium, one small. Usually it uses
a little more than 80% of the medium database's log, set to 6,700 MB. Last night the reorg index step caused the log to increase to almost 14,000 MB and then blew up because the maximum file size was set to 14,000 MB, one of the alter index commands failed
because it ran out of log space. (Dbcc checkdb step ran successfully.) Anyone have any idea what might cause this? There is one update process on this database, it runs at 3 AM. The maintenance plan runs at 9 PM and completes by 1 AM. The medium database has
a 21,000 MB data file, reserved space is at about 10 GB. This is a SQL 2012 Standard SP 2 running on Windows 2012 Server Standard.

I personally like to shrink the log files once the indexes have been rebuilt and before switching back to full recovery, because as I'm going to take a full backup afterwards, having a small log file reduces the size of the backup.
Do you grow them afterwards, or do you let the application waste time on that during peak hours?
I have not checked, but I see no reason why the backup size would depend on the size of the log file - it's the data in the data file you back up, not the log file.
I would say this is highly dubious.
Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
Yeah I let the application allegedly "waste" a few milisseconds a day autogrowing the log file. Common, how long do you think it takes for a log file to grow a few GB on most storage systems nowadays? As long as you set an appropriate autogrow
interval so your log file doesn't get too fragmented (full of VLFs), you'll be perfectly fine in most situations.
Lets say you have a logical disk dedicated to log file storage, but it is shared across multiple databases within the instance. Having allocated space for the log files means there will be not much free space left in the disk in case ANY database needs more
space than the others due to a peak in transactional workload, even though other databases have unused space that could have been used.
What if this same disk, for some reason, is also used to store the tempdb log file? Then all applications will become unstable.
These are the main reasons I don't recommend people blindly crucify keeping log files small when possible. I know there are many people who disagree and I'm aware of their reasons. Maybe we just had different experiences about this subject. Maybe people
just haven't been through the nightmare of having a corrupted system database or a crashed instance because of insuficient log space in the middle of the day.
And you are right about the size of the backup, I didn't put it correctly. It isn't the size of the backup that gets smaller (although the backup operation will run faster, having tested this myself), but the benefit from backing up a database with a small
log file is that you won't need the extra space to restore it in a different environment such as a BI or DEV server, where recuperability doesn't matter and the database will be on simple recovery mode.
Restoring the database will also be faster.
Just because there are clouds in the sky it doesn't mean it isn't blue. But someone will come and argue that in addition to clouds, birds, airplanes, pollution, sunsets, daltonism and nuclear bombs, all adding different colours to the sky, this
is an undocumented behavior and should not be relied upon.

Steps to empty SAPDB (MaxDB) log file

Hello All,
i am on Redhat Unix Os with NW 7.1 CE and SAPDB as Back end. I am trying to login but my log file is full. Ii want to empty log file but i havn't done any data backup yet. Can anybody guide me how toproceed to handle this problem.
I do have some idea what to do like the steps below
1. take databackup (but i want to skip this step if possible) since this is a QA system and we are not a production company.
2. Take log backup using same methos as data backup but with Log type (am i right or there is somethign else)
3. It will automatically overwrite log after log backups.
or should i use this as an alternative, i found this in note Note 869267 - FAQ: SAP MaxDB LOG area
Can the log area be overwritten cyclically without having to make a log backup?
Yes, the log area can be automatically overwritten without log backups. Use the DBM command
util_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE ON
to set this status. The behavior of the database corresponds to the DEMO log mode in older versions. With version 7.4.03 and above, this behavior can be set online.
Log backups are not possible after switching on automatic overwrite. Backup history is broken down and flagged by the abbreviation HISTLOST in the backup history (dbm.knl file). The backup history is restarted when you switch off automatic overwrite without log backups using the command
util_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE OFF
and by creating a complete data backup in the ADMIN or ONLINE status.
Automatic overwrite of the log area without log backups is NOT suitable for production operation. Since no backup history exists for the following changes in the database, you cannot track transactions in the case of recovery.
any reply will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mani,
1. Please review the document u201CUsing SAP MaxDB X Server Behind a Firewallu201D at MAXDB library
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/44/bbddac91407006e10000000a155369/content.htm
u201CTo enable access to X Server (and thus the database) behind a firewall using a client program such as Database Studio, open the necessary ports in your firewall and restrict access to these ports to only those computers that need to access the database.u201D
Is the database server behind a Firewall? If yes, then the Xserver port need to be open. You could restrict access to this port to the computers of your database administrators, for example.
Is "nq2host" the name of the database server? Could you ping to the server "nq2host" from your machine?
2. And if the database server and your PC in the local area NetWork you could start the x_server on the database server & connect to the database using the DB studio on your PC, as you already told by Lars.

Archived Log files

Hello,
I have a understanding problem off the function of the archived log files. My Oracle 9i Database is running in ARCHIVELOG. So if the online log files are full they get backed up to 3 different locations.
However if I view now the v$archive_log view then I see all the archived log files.
So now my questions:
1. At which point does these archived log files get deleted ?
2. If they never get deleted how do I know which archived log file can I delete.
3. If I run a full hot/cold backup can I delete this archive log files?
4. Is there any other way to delete the archived log files then using rman "delete input" option ? Like is there any way to delete the archived log files form the sqplplus prompt ?
I have searched and read some articles in the net about it but it is always just about how to set up the db into archivelog mode but I was not able to find anything answering my questions.
Thank you
Marcus

Out of the box, archived logs are not deleted
automatically. However, you can delete them via
RMAN. RMAN will delete them based on the set
retention policy. You can see which logs and
backups RMAN considers obsolete via the "report
obsolete" command. RMAN keeps track of logs that
are necessary for recovery, and those that can
be safely deleted.
Another option, as you have noted, is to backup
archivelogs using RMAN, with the "delete input"
option.
The best option (IMHO) is to automate deletion
of obsolete archive logs via a script. This
can be done using the "delete noprompt obsolete"
RMAN command.
I'm not aware of any SQLPlus based method to delete
logs. In any case, this would NOT be a good idea, as
RMAN would not be aware of any such deletions.
Hope this helps.

How open and see Log File in Active Directory

Hello Friends.. ^-^
how i can open log files active directory and see this data files ?
Can export this logs ?
thanks for help.

And adds a definition of edbxxxxx.log for completeness:
These are auxiliary transaction logs used to store changes if the main Edb.log file
gets full before it can be flushed toNtds.dit.
The xxxxx stands for a sequential number in hex. When the Edb.log file
fills up, an Edbtemp.log file
is opened. The original Edb.log file
is renamed to Edb00001.log, and Edbtemp.log is
renamed to Edb.log file,
and the process starts over again. Excess log files are deleted after they have been committed. You may see more than one Edbxxxxx.log file
if a busy domain controller has many updates pending.

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=43 device type=DISK
specification does not match any archived log in the repository
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Sounds like you are confusing (online) redo logs with "archivelogs" (archived redo logs).
You don't delete redo logs at all. You can delete archivelogs with rman, which is what your command is trying to do. Do you ever backup the archivelogs? A proper backup/recovery policy would backup the archivelogs on at least a daily (if not more often) basis, and delete them after they are backed up. That will keep the archivelog destination from filling up in all but the most extreme circumstances.
