    Yeah, this is weird. I seem to be able to pull up username,session_info when I add an online redolog file to logmnr. But once I use an archivelog file, the information (username,session_info) appears as null. I'm testing on a 9.2.0.1.

    I believe this was *gasp* user error. Once I recreated the DD objects with catalog/catproc the view worked as expected.

    Thanks

    Ok, I'm confused now. I don't understand.

    User error? Can you explain? Are you saying there was a problem with the v$logmnr_contents view..and once you reran the catalog and catproc scripts, everything was back to normal?

    Can't be coincidence that I'm running into an identical error! I tried the below using both OEM and running the procedures manually..and ended up with similar results. I was able to pullup session_info and username when using the redologs, but not with archivelogs..

    Yeah I often test on my crash and burn db so sometimes that enviornment is not the stable-ist of creatures. Anyway, could be that my db was messed up or it could be that we also upgraded to 92050
    and I do see bug 2909726 is related to v$logmnr_contents view being empty. I'd be happy to try your test case on a 92050 system if you like

    Nevermind, it seems to be working this morning! AFAIK I wasn't doing anything differently yesterday. I'll give this a shot using OEM later in the day to see if it behaves any different.

    Got a few logmnr questions of my own : 1) Are "drop tables" any easier to track/decipher through logminer in 9i? Drop tables (DDL) in 8i were a pain to track down. I know I ought to RTFM..but thought I'll ask anyway .

    2) Is there any way to estimate the size of the dictfile?

    3) How often does one typically build the logminer dictionary in a production environment? Once a week or s'thing?

    1. I think DDL is supposed to be a feature of 9i so yeah it should be easier to track


    2 & 3 I have no idea, I'm interested in what other would to say as well. I was just trying to get a valid test case together
