Hi All,


As of now we are deleting the .trc , trm manually when diskspace was occupied 95%. We want to make it as generic process with the help of this
ADRCI utility .

By Using this utility I had configured the SHORTP_POLICY , LONG_POLICY as one hour , PURGE_THRESHOLD as 80 for testing purpose in development environment .

There is no issue at all while executing those configuration scripts , but it's not purging the trace files also. There is no difference of diskspace utilization.

Its updated the LAST_AUTOPRG_TIME in the control also for the very first time. It seems to be as only one hour files are deleted that's why its not impacted the diskspace. But after the second hour time also not updated and file are not deleted.
Is there any other way to check that purging activity completed successfully apart from the diskspace files.


After one hour :


adrci> show control

ADR Home = /home/****/e01/diag/rdbms/real/real:

I'm not familiar with the technique you are using. But in case it will help, this is a script I run trough cron that works for me to remove everything over two months old:
export ADR_BASE=$ORACLE_BASE
for f in $( adrci exec="show homes" | grep -v "ADR Homes:" );
do
echo "purge ${f}:";
adrci exec="set home $f; purge -age 87840" ;
done

Hi John Watson,

Thanks for your help once again. What evet you suggested went fine in one environment. Even the first approach which I had implemented also working as expected. Short term policy and long term policies configuration was in DAYS.
I though it should be in hours and expected to delete after each and every hour. But as I kept the value as 1 ,its performing this activity on daily basis and deleting the old trace files as per the configuration.

Apologies for misunderstanding.

Thanks
SaiPradyumn
