Writing messages to log file from database procedures

Folks,
Is there a way by which I will be able to write messages from a database procedure to a log file? I would like to know what a procedure is doing and if it has failed or suceeded just as we do in a Unix shell script where we can direct messages to a file.
e.g. echo 'step 34 completed' >> $X_LOG
Is there a log file in Oracle where we can check if a procedure has failed and what was the error. I am using Oracle 9i.
Thanks.

Hello,
I do not agree. have you taken a look at Oracle9i Supplied PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference?
You can use UTL_FILE and DBMS_OUTPUT to achieve exactly what you want.

  • SQLScript , writing messages to log file

    Hi,
    We're developing SQLScript and executing them directly on Unix via Unix command HDBSQL. We use the -o keyword with HDBSQL to write messages like comments, custom errors into a log file. The only way we know how to force custom messages into the log file is the SELECT "Text" FROM DUMMY.
    Now our SQL consists of multiple procedures that may be called in a nested fashion i.e Proc 1 calls Proc 2 which in turn calls Proc 3. We noticed that the SELECT FROM DUMMY way of writing comments into the log only works if the procedure is the first procedure in the line of nested calls(Proc 1). SELECT FROM DUMMY from a  sub/nested procedure does not make it to the log file.
    Is there any other way we can achieve this? Other DBs have options like DBMS.output which work well in such scenarios.
    I would like to thank this group for being ever so helpful in all the issues we have faced so far.

    After spending 2+ hrs with Hyperion Support nothing got resolved.. Just to give more background on this problem, we originally reconfigured all Hyperion components to use different SQL server, that is when the problem started happening as soon as we got to Planning Instance Configuration. Could this be the situations when old server name is still somewhere in the system?.. Could this be Shared Services problem.

  • How to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control

    Hi
    Anybody suggest me how to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control.
    Thanks

    It is important to specify both, the oracle version and os version when posting, so confusions can be avoided.
    In this particular case, since you are referring to asm and grid control you could be talking about either 10gR1, 10gR2 or 11gR1; but I strongly suggest you to avoid us to be guessing. In either case, you sould go to the maintenance tab of the target database and program a scheduled 'delete noprompt obsolete;' procedure. This will purge the information stored at the Flash recovery area, which I assume you have declared inside the ASM.

  • MAXDB copy log file from one server to the other server.

    Hi All,
    I want to copy a log file from one server to the other server , the database is Maxdb and i don't know how to do it. I want to do it through command prompt, (set of commands required) the front end tool which we are using is DBM ( database manager). Please help.

    Hi,
    Basically, the process is of log shipping. Transferring logs from DC to DR system.
    For that, you can check HowTo - Standby DB log shipping - MaxDB - SCN Wiki
    This is script based. I have not done it but the idea remains the same.

  • Is there a way to automatically collect the log files from a AirPort or TimeCapsule base station?

    Hi there,
    the headline says basically all: Is there a way to collect the log files from a Time Capsule 7 AirPort from time to time? They are overwritten quite soon but I want a complete log of all activities to my access point.
    The AirPort Utility says something about SNMP. Is this the way to go? Some kind of demon on my Mac that retrieves and saves the logs like every two days?
    I want to copy the access logs, I am not interested in Time Machine backup logs.
    Thanks.

    There is a way to do this via Syslog. On the Logging & Statistics panel (within the AirPort Utility), you can point the AirPort's system logs to a Syslog "server."
    This would require a "dedicated" network client to receive the logs.
    Unfortunately, setting up a Syslog server is a bit intensive initially, but is simple to operate and maintain.

    Hi,
    First of all you must Open a ticket with oracle Support and explore the options
    You can use this note to fix it:
    RECOVERING FROM A LOST DATAFILE IN A UNDO TABLESPACE [ID 1013221.6]
    If you is Unable to Drop Undo tablespace Since Undo Segment is in Needs Recovery
    You can Upload the following trace file while opening the ticket
    SQL>Alter session set tracefile_identifier='corrupt';
    SQL>Alter system dump undo header "<new of undo segment in recover status>";
    Go to udump
    ls -lrt *corrupt*
    Upload this trace file
    Also upload the alert log fileRegards,

  • Redo log file corupted, database not getting open

    I am Oracle Funda-1 student.
    Have install standard Oracle 9I on Windows XP pro service pack 2.
    I made some changes in sample table & given commit. So log buffer will flush to redo log file.
    Then I open current redo log file from OS & selected all junk characters [select all] & deleted same. Save the file. Causing redo file size 0KB.
    Then made more changes to table & issue commit. no errors ! every thing working file.
    Even chked V$log & V$logfile.
    Again I open current redo log file from OS & selected all junk characters [ select all ] & deleted same. Save the file. Causing redo file size 0KB.
    Then issue manual log switch. Alter system switch logfile
    I got disconnected from database & database was close.
    When I reconnected & try to open database in normal mode. Gave error saying redolog_1.log is corrupted & needed for recovery.
    Now not even allowing me clear redo group 1. with alter database clear logfile group 1. as database is not coming to open stage.
    just able to mount the database. with error rdolog_1 corrupted.
    Wasn't oracle suppose to be halted when very 1st time I corrupted redo log file.
    Why it disconnected me & got close.
    When then one use alter database clear logfile group 1.

    I may try this ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
    As no backup & not multiplex.
    Still looking for explanation why database got close down instead of getting halt.
    I have found one more status in V$log, which is not given in Oracle university book or online document.
    INVALIDATED
    Which come as a result when oracle unable to switch to next on line group due to non availability of next group redo log physical file.
    SQL> select group#,members,status from V$log;
    GROUP# MEMBERS STATUS
    1 1 INVALIDATED
    2 1 INACTIVE
    4 1 UNUSED
    As matter of fact, it's only portion of a big
    document which happen to cover what you are testing
    in detail.
    I would invest time to read the document to
    understand how things work instead of getting dirty
    quick answers.

  • Write PDF files from database to file system

    Hi,
    I have a requirement of writing PDF files that are stored in Oracle 10g's BLOB column to the FILE SYSTEM using PL/SQL (Not java or any external stored Proc), since i need to write a shell script which will load the PDF files from database on a timely basis.
    Could anyone suggest me the way of executing this?
    Environment: Oracle 10G (10.2.0.1.0) with Windows 2003 server.

    Hi,
    Ive seen this before.
    If this is a new environment could you create a blank database and configure it as your System database? Then try again and you should be fine.
    I think you may have some invalid entries in your sys database.
