Diag policies (external link)

Link

Some time ago I googled great article by Gavin Soorma (http://gavinsoorma.com/2010/09/purging-trace-and-dump-files-with-11g-adrci). It emphasizes the existence of policies build for information in diagnostics_dest location.

Example usage

#!/bin/bash
## The script sets trace/diagnostics policies for test environments
SHORT_POLICY="SHORTP_POLICY\=308" #in h (14 days)
LONG_POLICY="LONGP_POLICY\=2400" #in h (100 days)

if [ ! $ORACLE_BASE ]; then
  #echo "no ORACLE_BASE defined\n"
  #exit
  oratab='/etc/oratab'
  os=`uname -s`
  if [ $os = 'SunOS' ]; then
      oratab='/var/opt/oracle/oratab'
  fi
  ## or rather read only interesting lines
  readarray -t -u $oratab oratab_entries
  for entry in oratab_entries;
  do
    if [ ${entry:0:1}!='#' ]; then
      ## set sid
      export ORACLE_SID=${entry%%:*}
      ## get the diag_dest
      diag_dest=`sqlplus -S / as sysdba <<-CMD1
set feed off head off
select value from v$parameter where name='diagnostic_dest';
CMD1`
      if [ $diag_dest ]; then
        break;
      fi
    fi
  done;
else
  diag_dest="$ORACLE_BASE/diag"
fi
set -x
echo $diag_dest
cd $diag_dest
for h in `adrci exec="show homes" | grep -v "ADR Homes:"`;
do
  adrci exec="set home $h; set control \($SHORT_POLICY,$LONG_POLICY\)"
done;
