RE: Rename alert log

I am running 8.1.7 and just last week renamed my alert.log while the database was up and everything seemed to work fine. It created a new alert log on the fly.

In 816 on NT, you can rename it any time you want.

is this changing in 817 Rachel?

depends on the version of the database you are running.. it used to be that yes, you could just rename it and Oracle would open a new one of the original name when it needed to write to it.

In 8.? and above, you can no longer just rename it, Oracle now maintains an open file pointer to it, similar to the way it handles the listener log file. So you will need to do the same sort of tricks to the alert log as you

have to do to the listener log (make a copy then copy /dev/null to the original)
