RE: alert log file
You can rename the alert log or move it. Oracle will create a new one the next time it has to write to it. You don't need to bounce the DB.

Re: alert log file
If you move the alert log to another directory, Oracle will create a new one in its place. There is no need to bounce the DB. -Scott At 07:54 AM 3/31/03 -0800, you wrote: for one of the db over here alert log is biggg .Looks like its never been truncated or backup .

Re: alert log file
Copy the alert log to the desired location and then CAT /dev/null into the alert log. CAT /dev/null alert.log This will zero out the alert log and allow you to keep the old data.

RE: alert log file
When I see a humungous file like that, I build a little
ksh
script that hasn't failed me yet.
suffix=`date +%y%m%d`
cp -p alertSID.log alertSID_${suffix}.log
alertSID.log
The only thing that might happen is if Oracle is updating
the
log file at EXACTLY the moment you execute this script then
that
log line may be lost. As I said, it hasn't happened - yet -
that
I know of - but YMMV.
Cheers,
Mike
