    Script to housekeeping Archived logfiles on Win2K

    Hi,

    Does anyone has a good script to purge Oracle archived logfiles on Win2k?

    I'm too comfortable with using UNIX to do the same job, but don't know the right commands on Win2k to do it.

    Just need a DOS script to purge archived logfiles older than 2 days.

    Hope someone can help.

    Cheers

    Hi.

    1) If you use RMAN and set a recovery window it will delete old log files when they are outside the recovery window if you issue the following command:

    delete obsolete;

    2) install cygwin on your windows server and use the same UNIX script you normally would.

    3) Install ActiveState Perl and write a script to do it.

    4) Write a little program (Java, VB etc.) to do it for you.

    Cheers

    And what happens if he doesn't have RMAN?

    If you're not using RMAN let me know and I'll show you a nifty .bat script.

    If I do...do I get extra credit or an extra 15 minutes at recess?

    basically what it does is move all the backed up'd stuff to another disk so you have a not only last nights stuff but the night previous. So you have basically 2 days worth of backups /exports. This is only about a 2 gig database so it takes all of maybe 15 minutes to do the whole copy and backup.

    Code:
    del /Q f:\oradata\istora\old_archive\*
    del /Q f:\oradata\istora\old_backup\*
    del /Q f:\oradata\istora\old_export\*
    move H:\oradata\istora\backup\*.* f:\oradata\istora\old_backup
    move H:\oradata\istora\backup\archive\*.* f:\oradata\istora\old_archive
    move h:\oradata\istora\backup\export\*.* f:\oradata\istora\old_export
    exp system/ file=h:\oradata\istora\backup\export\istora_full.dmp full=y direct=y log=h:\oradata\istora\backup\export\istora_full.log
    c:\oracle\ora92\bin\sqlplus system/ @c:\oracle\ora92\maint\hotbackup.sql

    thats cool but what if you are in the middle or writing an archive when you "move H:\oradata\istora\backup\*.* " for example?

    Under Winoze the move will fail (OS level locking on the file), under UN*X you need to be more careful.

    This can't be true, can it?

    I hope I read what stmontgo intended rather than what he wrote! Windoze won't let you move a file while it's being written. (You can move a backup file while an archlog is being written )

    Yes, you are correct that's why I don't blow away the actual archive logs yet I do it in the actual hot backup like below.
    Code:
    set serveroutput on
    set feedback off
    host del h:\oradata\istora\backup\*.* /q
    spool c:\oracle\ora92\maint\hotbkup.sql
    declare 
    cursor tbspc is 
    select tablespace_name from 
    dba_tablespaces
    where
    contents <> 'TEMPORARY'
    order by tablespace_name;
    
    cursor datfil (tbspcname varchar2) is 
    select df.file_name from dba_data_files df, v$datafile d
    where
    df.tablespace_name = tbspcname
    and
    df.file_name = d.name
    and
    d.enabled like '%WRITE%'
    order by df.tablespace_name;
    
    tabcur tbspc%rowtype;
    datcur datfil%rowtype; 
    
    sql_string Varchar2(500);
    tsname1 varchar2(30);
    tsname2 varchar2(30);
    begin
    open tbspc; 
    loop
    fetch tbspc into tabcur;
    exit when tbspc%notfound;
    sql_string := 'ALTER TABLESPACE ' || tabcur.tablespace_name || ' BEGIN BACKUP;';
    dbms_output.put_line(sql_string);
    for datcur in datfil(tabcur.tablespace_name)
    loop
    sql_string := 'host copy ' || datcur.file_name || ' h:\oradata\istora\backup';
    dbms_output.put_line(sql_String);
    
    end loop;
    sql_string := 'ALTER TABLESPACE ' || tabcur.tablespace_name || ' END BACKUP;';
    dbms_output.put_line(sql_string);
    end loop;
    close tbspc;
    dbms_output.put_line('host del h:\oradata\istora\backup\control\*.* /q');
    dbms_output.put_line('alter database backup controlfile to trace;');
    dbms_output.put_line('alter database backup controlfile to ''h:\oradata\istora\backup\control\'|| to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyhhmi') || '.ctl'';');
    dbms_output.put_line('alter system archive log all;');
    dbms_output.put_line('alter system archive log current;');
    dbms_output.put_line('host copy h:\oradata\istora\arch\*.* h:\oradata\istora\backup\archive');
    dbms_output.put_line('host del h:\oradata\istora\arch\*.* /q');
    dbms_output.put_line('exit;');
    dbms_output.put_line(' ');
    end;
    /
    
    spool off
    
    @c:\oracle\ora92\maint\hotbkup.sql
    
    exit
    Geessh do I have to give away all my secrets?
