Re: ADR file archive tools

Thank you, I was, in particular looking for how to archive the listener.log data, which I see no mention of in purge.

The purge section of:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/adrci.htm says:
[-type {ALERT|INCIDENT|TRACE|CDUMP|HM}]         

Specifies the type of diagnostic data to purge (alert log messages, incident data, trace files (including dumps), core files, or Health Monitor run data and reports).

I'm thinking they forgot about this monster.

Calling all clues!
