New Features In 11g / ADRCI

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
Automatic Diagnostic Repository Command Interface

What is It ? 


diagnostic data such as traces, dumps, the alert log, health monitor reports, and more. It has a unified directory structure across multiple instances and multiple products. Beginning with Release 11g, the database, Automatic Storage Management (ASM), and other Oracle products or components store all diagnostic data in the ADR. Each instance of each product stores diagnostic data underneath its own ADR home directory. The ADR’s unified directory structure enables customers and Oracle Support to correlate and analyze diagnostic data across multiple instances and multiple products.

 Contain :

Problem : critical error in the database.
Incident : single occurrence of a problem. 
Problem Key : text string that includes an error code (ORA-%)
Incident Package : collection of data about incidents for one or more problems.
ADR Home : root directory for all diagnostic data—traces, dumps, alert log.
ADR Base : permit correlation of diagnostic data across multiple ADR homes.
 How to Use for Show Errors , Alerts and Traces
adrci> show alert -tail -f
adrci> show problem
adrci> show incident
adrci> show incident -mode detail -p “incident_id=”incident_id””
adrci> show trace “trace file name
create packages and zip files for oracle support:
It gather all the required information with a method called “Incident Packaging Service” (IPS):
adrci> ips create package problem 1 correlate all
adrci> ips generate package 1 in “/home/oracle” 
Purging trace files automatically:

adrci> show tracefile -rt
adrci> show control

SHORTP_POLICY :Retention for ordinary trace files
LONGP_POLICY :Retention for like incident files

adrci> set control (SHORTP_POLICY = 360) ===>15days
adrci> set control (LONGP_POLICY = 2160) ===>90 Days
adrci> show control

Purging Trace files manually:

Following command will manually purge all tracefiles older than 2 days (2880 minutes):
adrci> purge -age 2880 -type trace
adrci> purge -age 129600 -type ALERT ===> purging ALERT older than 90 days
adrci> purge -age 43200 -type INCIDENT ===> purging INCIDENT older than 30 days
adrci> purge -age 43200 -type TRACE ===> purging TRACE older than 30 days
adrci> purge -age 43200 -type CDUMP ===> purging CDUMP older than 30 days
adrci> purge -age 43200 -type HM ===> purging HM older than 30 days
adrci> show tracefile -rt
