Hi Folks,
If you are running your shop on ORACLE database, monitoring/tracking count (& thus, volume/size) of archive log must be on top list.
As transaction activities (OLTP transactions or batch processing) increases, the amount of transaction logs also goes up. And, if it goes beyond the storage capacity of archive-log directory, your database may hit 'archiver stuck' situation. In addition, various questions may come on surface to be addressed - like
- available space for backup may get filled
- available bandwidth to ship archive logs to DR site (Disaster Recovery site) may come short (i.e. there may be delay in transferring archive log files from PRIMARY site to DR site)
- when did archive log generation was huge (this will help in tracing which background process to look for tuning)
In this document, i am coming up a script - which will give archive log count - hour-by-hour, daily - for a month: view on ONE Page.
This script runs on ORACLE Database Version 8i/9i/10g/11g.
This 'SELECT only' SQL QUERY to be run run as SYSTEM account.
This SQL QUERY finishes in 'few' seconds only (so, no adverse effect on database performance).
For your safety, advisable to run on your Development or Test instance (whichever is running in ARCHIVE MODE) first, before running on Production instance.
This script will generate output file named archive_log_count.html in the current (or running ) directory.
If your Oracle database is running on non-Windows server, you need to transfer (ftp or WinSCP or similar) this file from Oracle database host to Windows server and open it in web browser.
Best way to run this script is COPY & PASTE blue color text below at your 'SYSTEM' account SQL> prompt.
Here is the script (blue color) and sample output (as image):
