RE:

Bryan,

I keep them for 15 days and then delete them. I use the following to clean them up:

find $UDUMP_DIR -mtime +15 -print -exec rm {} \;

The $UDUMP_DIR is an environmental pointing to the udump directory. I do the same thing in the Bdump directory (renaming the alert log with a date included in the file name). I keep files up to 30 days in this directory.

I also clean up the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit directory and the $ORACLE_HOME/network/log directory in the same way.

Change the number of days to suite your needs.

Hope this helps.

All;  

I'm fairly new in the DBA realm. Can anyone tell me what a good standard to follow would be for the length of time to keep *.trc files. I'm moving these to a separate file system to free up some disk.  

Thanks,

 Bryan Wells
