Too many Archive Log

Hi,
I have a problem on a production server: our support partner told me that we are creating too many Archive Log files. They are not sure at all of what is happening.
Please, do you know if there is any System View which we could obtain more information about Archive Logs usage?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Joan Padilla

Hi Joan,
The sensible number of archive logs is determined by your backup and recovery strategy. You can delete them, once you have back-upped the database and the archivelogs. Further info in the Backup and Recovery Concepts manual.
You can find information on them in v$archived_log.
If you decide to delete them without having read the aforementioned manual, I will pray for you you don't suffer a hard disk crash.
You may want to review the relationship with your support partner too.
Their advice is not exactly professional.

  • Create procedure is generating too many archive logs

    Hi
    The following procedure was run on one of our databases and it hung since there were too many archive logs being generated.
    What would be the answer? The db must remain in archivelog mode.
    I understand the nologging concept, but as I know this applies to creating tables, views, indexes and tablespaces. This script is creating procedure.

    So, how could I assist our developer with this, so that she can run it again without it generating a ton of logs ? ?
    Thanks

    The amount of redo generated is a direct function of how much data is changing. If you insert 'x' number of rows, you are going to generate 'y' mbytes of redo. If your procedure is destined to insert 1000 rows, then it is destined to create a certain amount of redo. Period.
    I would question the <i>performance</i> of the procedure shown ... using a cursor loop with a commit after every row is going to be a slug on performance but that doesn't change the fact 'x' inserts will always generate 'y' redo.

  • System I/O and Too Many Archive Logs

    Hi all,
    This is frustrating me. Our production database began to produce too many archived redo logs instantly --again. This happened before; two months ago our database was producing too many archive logs; just then we began get async i/o errors, we consulted a DBA and he restarted the database server telling us that it was caused by the system(???).
    But after this restart the amount of archive logs decreased drastically. I was deleting the logs by hand(350 gb DB 300 gb arch area) and after this the archive logs never exceeded 10% of the 300gb archive area. Right now the logs are increasing 1%(3 GB) per 7-8 mins which is too many.
    I checked from Enterprise Manager, System I/O graph is continous and the details show processes like ARC0, ARC1, LGWR(log file sequential read, db file parallel write are the most active ones) . Also Phsycal Reads are very inconsistent and can exceed 30000 KB at times. Undo tablespace is full nearly all of the time causing ORA-01555.
    The above symptoms have all began today. The database is closed at 3:00 am to take offline backup and opened at 6:00 am everyday.
    Nothing has changed on the database(9.2.0.8), applications(11.5.10.2) or OS(AIX 5.3).
    What is the reason of this most senseless behaviour? Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.
    Burak

    Selam Burak,
    High number of archive logs are being created because you may have massive redo creation on your database. Do you have an application that updates, deletes or inserts into any kind of table?
    What is written in the alert.log file?
    Do you have the undo tablespace with the guarentee retention option btw?
    Have you ever checked the log file switch sequency map?
    Please use below SQL to detirme the switch frequency;

  • Too many archive logs getting generated on 11.1.0.7

    I could see heavy arch generation on PROD instance although there is not much activity on PROD
    this is a fresh instance which has gone live month ago and archive log being enabled weeks ago but
    i could see about 20 to 23 GB of arch generation daily although the database size is 90 GB around
    Raised SR they told me its unable to Purge statistics from the SYSAUX tablespace
    they asked me to run some queries an run this
    exec dbms_stats.purge_stats(sysdate - 50);
    which was running for long hours and just coming out because of insufficient space
    although the retention policy is 31 days
    SQL> select DBMS_STATS.GET_STATS_HISTORY_RETENTION from dual;
    GET_STATS_HISTORY_RETENTION
                             31

    asked to apply this patch 12683802 which i applied on DEV instance
    but still i can see so many archs generating although there is no activity on DEV instance.
    now when i run this scripts little by little
    exec dbms_stats.purge_stats(sysdate - 50);
    its purging but its taking ages and the size of sysaux is getting filled the current size of DEV have 3 datafiles each with around 4000mb

  • Too many archived logs when trying a backup

    Hello all,
    I'm having a bit of trouble running a backup script on an Oracle instance (10g1, on Solaris).
    As a normal DBA practice, I guess the backup should be scheduled and run from the very beginning of using a DB. Sometimes, from various reasons, this does not happen. In this case, before running the first (full) backup of the DB, there might be tens or hundreds of archived logs waiting to be backed up, and the flash recovery area might just not be able to handle all of them (at least that's how I see it, I might be wrong, I'm still fighting my way through Oracle's Backup and Recovery issues). In that case, a backup script containing the following RMAN sequence:
    run{
    allocate channel ch1 type disk;
    backup
    incremental
    level = 0
    database;
    release channel ch1;
    fails with the error message ORA-19804 (cannot reclaim disk space from the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE limit).
    After this, the archived logs that were backed up are marked as obsolete, and I can delete them from RMAN with "delete obsolete". The script I'm using for backup runs fine afterwards. Before attempting a backup, however, no logs are reported as obsolete.
    The retention policy is the default "redundancy 1" and the archivelog deletion policy is none.
    How could I prevent the backup script from crashing? If I'm changing the archivelog deletion policy, will I be able to restore the DB properly from my backup set? (as earlier logs will be deleted before making a backup)
    Thank you for any suggestions, your help is very much appreciated,
    Adrian

    I am having an impression that you are not using scheduled backups and let client decided when to take backup. Well this is not good, in this case you won't be able to get rid of this error bcz you never know when the next or even first backup is going to occur and without that you can't even think of deleting your logs. If you are not using tape drives then your archivelogs and backups both will sit in recovery area and you should have enough available space to hold both of them. I would say to schedule your backups and use DELETE INPUT clause of RMAN backup to delete the archivelogs after backing them up. And also delete the obsolete backups according to your recovery window. This is the proper way to manage recovery area space. You really need to tune the recovery area space by testing the amount of redo generation, backup size, retention policy etc etc and then come up with a figure of recovery area size which is suitable for your env to hold all of the required files for required time (recover window).

  • Too many archive logs

    Hi,
    we have EBusiness suite 11.5.10.2 Solaris 5.10 Production server. Until last 3 week (for the past 1.5 years), there were max 10 archive log generation (archive size like 250mb) now which has been increased to 200 kb,152kb,1mb archives for every 1 MIN.
    I am unable to understand this behaviour. The number of users still remain the same and the usage is as usual.
    Is there a way I can check what has gone wrong? I could not see any errors also in the alert.log
    Please suggest what can be done.
    Thanks

    Rajeshredo generation is the result of the activity on the system. You've therefore either started doing much more work - which the business users might well be able to let you know about - or you've started doing you existing workload extremely inefficently, which your business users will probably have noticed. I would start in this case, not with logminer, but with the business and the application - ebusiness suite for example keeps pretty good logs of what activity has happened on the system. Id also be interested in what was changed 3 weeks ago, because something was!

    I do not recommend reformatting your harddrive and reloading your software.  This is a Windows thing. On an older mac it may be difficult to find all your software again.
    Best to have greater than 2gig of free space.  Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

    Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
    Go after large files that you have created & know what they are.  Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

  • Will Analyze create too many redo logs ??

    DB : 10gR2
    Hello Folks,
    Is analyze process creates too many redo log files ?? Is their any other valid option other than no log ?

    I guess that's also going to create too many log switches as it's part of DDLHUH?
    REDO log switches result from DML.
    If you are obsessed with LOG switches, then you need to use LOGMINER to observe the the relative per centage of changed data is from DBMS_STATS
    when compared to normal DML activity.
    I seriously doubt that DBMS_STATS has any significant impact to redo log switches.

  • Apps team uploading 114505 kbof text file,too many archives getting

    the upload is going on ,too many are getting generated in archivelog location
    i have increased 200gb to 900gb
    please let me know how to know for 14505 kb of dataupload how many archives gettting generated
    can we estimate before dataupload how many archives can generate
    can you please explain clearly
    thanks

    Hi,
    There is no specific method to calculate the number of archived log files to be generated for the particular load.
    But, we may do some rough calculation by looking at the rate of archived log generation.
    Check the following things,
    1) How frequently the logs are getting generated and the size of the files.
    2) How many data has been loaded so far.
    Based on the above input, you may get some idea on number of ARCHIVED LOG files to be generated during the rest of the data load.
    Also, you may do the following to avoid keep adding space to archive destination.
    1) Wite a UNIX shell script to BACKUP the ARCHIVED LOG FILES and DELETE the files once backuped up; which should run for every 10 minutes.
    Thanks.

  • Too many archived documents are suddenly extracted into BW

    Dear All,
    I am not person of Finance but I will try to provide necessary details here.
    We have archiving in place in ECC. For a specific document, if I go to FB03 for the document, it shows the information but with message that 'Document is already archived'. Document is related to year 2011.
    Now, suddenly too many documents were extracted last week spanning from year 2009 to 2011. When I check in 'Document changes', it shows that last change was done in 2011 only.
    I want to know what possible change could cause these archived documents to extract again into BW.
    or any pointers are also welcome.
    Thanks,
    Purvang

    If you bought it from Apple, you are covered by one year of AppleCare, which includes three months of free phone support, for any problem. You should take full advantage of that. It sounds like you may have hardware issues (the audio jack) but a lot of your items sound like a matter of changing preferences or display settings - Apple can help with this, as can a local friendly Mac consultant.
    For example, you mention that you get a "screen-wide mass of writing". Do you know what application you're opening the file in? Many Mac apps have full-screen mode, which sounds like what you describe, and you can get out of it by moving your cursor to the top right of the screen until you see the menu bar appear - there's a blue icon with two arrows, and clicking this will get you out of full screen mode.
    QuickTime does not play all formats of video. Try an alternative video player such as VLC. (http://videolan.org/VLC)
    Hope that helps somewhat.

  • Find how many archive logs are generated and backup through RMAN

    friends,
    how many arhcive logs are generating between 2 consecutive backups through RMAN.
    Ur help is really appricated.
    Thanks

    Sorry, I misunderstood the question
    I think you are not asking how many logs are generated since last backup. My initial repy was the answer for this
    The answer of you question on 10G R2 is like below. Query groups your archivelog backup sessions and counts the logs in one session which is the number of generated archivelog file between two backup session/.
    select session_key,count(sequence#) from V$BACKUP_ARCHIVELOG_DETAILS group by session_key order by 1 desc

  • Too Many Table logs in DBTABLOG, RSTBPDEL is taking too much time

    Hi Experts,
    In one of our CRM system, DBTABLOG table is logging one table which is having 1 Billion entries right now. Business dont want to switch off the logging at this moment. But the table is increasing rapidly 42 Gb per month. RSTBPDEL program is running from weeks to delete them, but no control on increment.
    Can you please suggest any way to delete them quickly at first, so that my house keeping job will run daily and finish soon.
    Regards,
    Mohan.

    Hello Mohan,
    The DBTABLOG table does get large, the best is to switch off logging. If that's not possible, increase the frequency of your delete job, also explore one more alternative have a look at the archival object: BC_DBLOGS, you could archive old records (in accordance with your customer's data retention policies) to reduce the size of the table.
    Also, have a look at the following notes, they will advise you on how to improve the performance of your delete job:
    Note 531923 - Audit Trail: Indexes on table DBTABLOG
    Note 579980 - Table logs: Performance during access to DBTABLOG

  • Too many archive file generated

    Hi there,
    I'm doing a load test that insert 12 meg data into a test table. Nobody is on the database except me. My online redo log size 200 meg. Why did the database did two log switches when on 12 meg data inserted to the database? My database version is 10.2.0.2.
    thanks

    A typical redo record has a minimum size of around 200 bytes. Before you worry about the data it contains, remember it has to hold details about the block being changed and the undo block being used to hold the undo for that change and various pointers and other bits of structural information. You then have two redo records per row inserted - one for the table change and one for the index changed. 2 * 200 * 1000000 gives you about 400Mb, which fits your observation of two log file switches with 200Mb log files.

  • RMAN BACKUP hangs up on archive logs

    Hi,
    in 9i on Linux, My rman backup script is :
    RMAN> run {
    2> allocate channel t1 type disk;
    3> backup incremental level=0 format '/mnt/rman/MYDB/full_%d_%t_%s_%p' database;
    4> sql 'alter system switch logfile';
    5> backup format '/mnt/rman/MYDB/al_%d_%t_%s_%p'
    6> archivelog all delete input;
    7> backup format '/mnt/rman/MYDB/ctl_%d_%t_%s_%p' current controlfile;
    8> }
    It works well until :
    backup format '/mnt/rman/MYDB/al_%d_%t_%s_%p' archivelog all delete input;
    Here it hangs up (may be there are many many archive log files). What do you propose ? How can we ask RMAN just backup archive logs since some recent dates ? How can we delete most of ancient archive logs ? Since many times RMAN backup was in error then archive logs were not deleted. Now impossible to finish RMAN backup. Many thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I launched following since last night but it is always waiting :
    RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
    allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
    channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=110 devtype=DISK
    What can I do ? Any other way to say to RMAN that archived logs are not available ?
    Many thanks.
