Archive logs too big in size [message #444739]

Can someone help in suggesting ways to reduce archive log getting written ?

We have a server that is replicating data from several servers through Mviews. 200+ Mviews are getting refreshed every 15 mins, and 100-120 GB of archive log is getting generated.

No. of rows affected will be in range of 1-2 Lakhs every time.

Is any solution to reduce this 100-120 Gb of archiving, as due to constraint of disk space DBA needs to remove these logs every 2-3 hrs.

pls help

Regards,
Rajat

The only way is to reduce DML (INSERT, UPDATE, & DELETE) operations

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/

Sorry BlackSwan for the inconvenience caused.

Please find the oracle version [9.2.0.6.0]
Kindly delete the duplicate post.

As i checked i come up with this option

1) Set Mview/Tables in NOLOGGING mode.

Is there any other options available.
We can't reduce the DML operations as per business requirement.

DML generates REDO.

BlackSwan,

So you are trying to say that there is no way to reduce
archive log. only option is to order disk purchase.

What i am trying to find out is alternative and better option.

Anyways thanks for the help but it didn't resolve the query.

Regards,
Rajat

> only option is to order disk purchase.
When I can buy a 2TB unit for less than $200 USDollar, I would not waste time exploring other options which place my data integrity at risk.

Oracle guarentees data integrity when no short cuts are taken.

Just to add,
It depends on how you refresh.
With incremental refresh, you cannot avoid it.
With full refresh, internally Oracle will append (in 9i, not in 10g) and thus reducing the redo . Still this will have no effect on indexes.

>>Mviews are getting refreshed every 15 mins, and 100-120 GB of archive log is getting generated.

If every 15 min. huge number archive generate then try to control using ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET parameter.

Are the REFRESHs COMPLETE or FAST ?

Are rows being deleted from the *source* Tables ? Oracle would have to repeat the deletes in the target MVs as well.
